Metal Songwriting Masterclass
Added 2024-03-05 19:07:30 +0000 UTCFor February's bonus lesson vote you guys voted overwhelmingly in favor of a masterclass on songwriting - so here you go!
In this lesson I share with you 10 of my biggest, most valuable tips for writing strong, memorable Metal songs. From crafting riffs, to layering, to hooks, to structure - I've got you covered.
As always, please do let me know if you have any questions! And if any of you feel particularly inspired by this lesson and dive into writing some of your own songs, please feel free to share them on the Discord server. I always love hearing your creations!

2024-03-08 19:42:18 +0000 UTCI haven’t a lot of songs over 40+ years, but the ones I wrote I think are good. I was much younger and most of it was done in my head after sudden bits of inspiration. I’m trying to learn a more theoretical approach now because my middle aged brain just doesn’t create like it used to.
