SongTown on Songwriting | Mastering the Art of Great Songs

7 Real-World Songwriting Lessons to Take You from Amateur to Pro

Episode Summary

Marty and Clay count down seven lessons that turn an amateur songwriter into a pro — starting with the one that trips everybody up now that a DAW, a stack of plugins and an AI demo can make a half-written song sound like a finished record. Along the way: why complexity isn't the same as quality, why the rules are worth knowing before you break them, why a song taking months isn't a problem, and the publisher who said to stop writing with a co-writer who turned into hits a year later. Number seven is the one they both say hit the hardest. Write on.
