Hello everyone!

Since i really like the topic of songwriting, i was wondering what kind of books, videos, lessons etc. you have used in your journey to songwriting??


I studied at a musicacademy fulltime for one and a half year, and there we had songwriting twice a week two hours, that really helped a lot, showed me the "classical" way to do it. I dont use that all the time by far, but very useful to know, and it opened up the universe of songwriting for me!

I also bought a book called :
Chrash Course Songwriting
By: Chris Bradford

I found that very helpful, and still do, there are a lot of good tips in there!

Well, and then to listen to the songs that i find very inspiring, and break them down, figure out the chordstructure, the intervals they use, how they create the mood!

looking forward to hear some of your choices!!
