Quality.

I am very new to writing lyrics, and this was great. But I can see this being a book mostly for noobies and beginners. Possibly even some lower to middle intermediate people only.
Overall very great though.

good but why are the chapters not labeled?

this is an audible original so the chapters should be labeled. other than that it's kind of short but a good place to start for the price.

Precision in a book

Ain’t gotta be long to make a point, this book is great for the well studied and those just beginning to scratching the surface.

XTRNL approval

Good basic material for anyone who has no knowledge or concept.. It served as good basic review for me. I give it the official #XTRNL #Approval. 👍

A good beginners guide for songwriting

Recommended for clueless people who want a good and easy break down on how to structure a song

Alsome Book!

Great informational book. It gives you a better understanding on how to be a successful writer.I would recommend this book if your trying to further your career.

Informative insight for beginners only.

A common-sense exploration of what forms a song and how to organise thoughts into lyrics. A decent 101 for beginners, but very lacking in actual examples to help explain the theory beyond just discussion which may frustrate those looking for greater insight to get their teeth into and analyse.

At barely 43 mins long though, it serves beginners well enough to set them on the right path at least.
