Top 10 Rules Of Songwriting (Songwriting Tips And Secrets)
These are rules I have learned over the years that I really want to give to all of you. I have read a lot of books on songwriting tips, watched a lot of videos on songwriting tips and everything that has to do with songwriting in general.

I have iTunes top 100 albums, major artists song placements and more. I have even created a full songwriting tips course where I bring you into the studio and show you everything step by step from writing the song to bringing it into your DAW and recording it.

These are rules I have learned over the years that I really want to give to all of you.

1 Try not to let your song intro go more than 15 seconds without entertaining the listener with something

2 Make sure your chorus comes in BEFORE 40 SECONDS. This allows you to pull in the listener and then also give the listener a reason to keep listening to the song to want to hear the chorus again.

3 Do NOT show anyone an unfinished song, especially before you get good

4 learn naturally what works best, you don’t have to learn music theory, keys, notes… you need to learn what sounds good. Then learn that stuff later.

5 Listen to more music. Don’t just stay in your box and keep listening to the same music artist, expand your music knowledge by listening to everything, even other genres.
It will help you understand more music styles and sounds and this will help you be more creative and know how far you can expand yourself

6 record yourself, DONT JUST WRITE – so you can actually build your music style

People send me lyrics ALL THE TIME. I really can’t do anything if you just send me lyrics. It’s great to practice writing but you are tring to build a music career not a writing career.
You won’t develop your music style, voice, delivery and everything else if you don’t record your lyrics. You won’t find a unique way to say thingsa dn stand out if you don’t record.

  11. This might not work for everyone. But it works really well for me. Listen to spoken word. Helps me with serious, deep, meaningful songs.
    Search a subject followed by "spoken word".
    "Struggle, spoken word."
    "Future, spoken word.
    "Heartbreak , spoken word."
    "Death, spoken word."
    I promise that SOMETHING will really stand out to you. Just appreciate the poetry. It is strange to listen to at first but if you find a good speaker you'll hear something that kills your writters block.

  33. I'm a rock music producer and alot of these tips, i've never heard on any music channel !! THANK YOU! It is essential that every songwriter watch this !!!
    I started my career as a guitarist in a cover band when i was 14. We did covers of country, rock, blues, metal, pop, hip hop and dance songs. Just cause we didnt know better, and wanted to play for everyone in the crowd. I am so glad we did and now i listen to everything with an open ear and open mind. Cheers!

  37. Dont listen to this guy please. 15seconds is just an assumption, all depends on ur beat. Chorus doesnt have to be before 40 but sometimes it is nice. Not all hit songs are good music, theres tons of promo around it really this is such a bad argument. I can’t even watch the full video. And I’m not even graduated in music yet.
