Informative

I learned a great deal from this read. Being a songwriter, I'm constantly looking to hone my craft, strengthen my talent, and learn different genre formats. Thank for the read, and I will continue to seek out more books by this particular author.

Loved it

loved it, the way it breaks down the art of song writing was very understandable. laying out every creative way to approach a song based off its structure.

simply perfect

loved it! clear and to the point while being thorough.
Thanks! Was very informative.. it should be called "Get it in 40 minutes". Again, Thanks for writing this!

Exactly what it said it was

Great little 40 minute summary of lyrics. I believe most books can be summed up in something like this so it is appreciated. I only wish the author added a little about themselves to establish some clout. Just preference there and I could just look it up I suppose. Thanks for the great read!

Surprisingly helpful

This book was true to its word and gives you actionable ways to create lyrics and a system in which to help you. I was surprised at how helpful it was given its brevity

A Quick and Thick Guide to Song Writing

Just 40 minutes (less if you increase speed) and you a good chunk of knowledge. Absolutely packed with good tips

Well structured

You did a really great job here. Well organized and quick. How do you do it

OK

The information is useable. I wasn't too impressed but it wasn't boring. Should have focused on fewer genres.

Scratches the surface

Good book. I would've liked to hear more abt rnb music and more interactive examples.

good listen

40 mins I'll never back. 40 mins I'll never want back. so yeah. 15 words

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.

Good story but very general

A very general story to the subject. I would like some more depth to it.

i enjoy this and gaines confidence to try and improve my work - for a beginner
