  3. The funniest thing is that all these songwriters have no idea what you’re talking about. They were just humming random sounds and Melodies and writing from the heart. Your system is too much of a….well system. Hook Theory is making you seen things too analytical and read into stuff that isn’t there. A lot of your examples are a stretch to say the least. There is no system to good song writing. You’re either born with it or not. You can get better, but you’ll never be great unless you were pre destined to be. I’m not saying your videos aren’t helpful. They’re extremely helpful and well made. I love them and your content. I just don’t like how it’s all starting to feel like it’s based off a system that isn’t there. Music theory is just grammar. Being good at grammar doesn’t automatically make you William Shakespeare. He was born with it

  6. Practice the basics for an extraordinary amount of time

    and in 10-20 years you will master the basics

    but you will get paid for the time
    A beginning tennis player can hit a backhand
    Novak djokovic can hit a backhand
    but djokovic gets paid millions for the extraordinary amount of time he spent practicing the backhand

  8. Choruses can come in like exploding TNT if you like
    They can also come in like a molotov, with a noticeable yet unassuming crack and something being released, and the intensity grows during the following moments to the end of the chorus.

  13. Interesting stuff Tony, and I look forward to analysing my favourite songs to see how this plays out!

    For anyone else making notes: initially (at 0:50) Tony points to the B (the 3rd scale degree of G Maj, and the second-half of the word 'Gone') as the first note of the chorus for 'Since You've Been Gone'. However, at 1:11 when summarising the rule he points the arrow at the previous note C, which is the 4th degree, not the 3rd – if you are used to this HookTheory colour coding and are thinking 'but wait, green is the 4th degree isn't it?,' I'd thought I'd save you the time of second-guessing whether you're misunderstanding the point being highlighted 🙂

  18. I would love if you made a video on, what songwriting is on a spiritual level. Like sometimes you get so stuck in learning the process you forget what the purpose of a song/of music is. Like a compilation vid where maybe songwriters and musicians have talked about it. I feel like you already have that video and I’ve seen it but forgot. But yeah I feel like I’ve forgotten and it’s hard to grasp the words to explain it to myself again.

  19. No matter if you like oasis or nirvana… you could hate them for all I care. They wrote some of the best Melodies ever. And they played there music from there heart. Not what the record company asked for, and for that they get my respect

  27. Another great video. Thanks! Right now I have my verses and a pretty good chorus idea, but I'm having difficulties transitioning into the chorus. Is that something you might want to talk a bit about perhaps? ?

  33. Another trick is to jump in fifth or seventh on the chorus it also works great and a trick you have to listen to the interval between the sections to understand well info Katy Perry – Chained To The Rhythm
