I'm delving into songwriting and came across this and another book of hers after discovering her youtube videos (which I found entertaining and informative). My goal was to have a better understanding of the process of writing so I wasn't aimless. I don't feel that this helped me much I've read about 5 books now, and can honestly say that I can't remember one tip that I've personally used from either book (the other book was 'study the hits', which I don't even remember - suggesting that I didn't take anything from it.)Now, that said... there are some people for whom the book will be much more useful. One of my downfalls is that my music theory is weak and I have no ability to analyze and pick apart songs in a technical manner. So If she says to deconstruct a favorite and try to copy it and then gradually individualize it until it is something new, I can't do that at this time. If, you can there were some things relating to that. She also had some tips regarding the navigating and dealing with things in the industry. That's not a goal of mine, but if it is for you, again it may be a more useful book for you. But for the complete newb like myself, I just didn't gather much - I haven't gotten to rating them yet, but found guitar scales in context and how to write songs on the guitar to be much more useful books for me.
This is such a great book. I like the fact that she takes the songwriting process and breaks it down into manageable steps so that I keep moving forward with my writing! A 'must have' for any songwriterCharlie Ernst
Another excellent book from Robin Frederick - If you are serious about learning how to write, then is an excellent tool.
I was really looking for a small lay out plan, something simple. Maybe I was looking to hard. Turning the last page of the book still looking for the 30 minute steps.
Wonderful songwriting tool. Will get the creative juices flowing!
