    Hey, thanks for the comment :)
    Well, I just want to get going as fast as possible.
    I am actually more comfortable singing than playing guitar, so that is not a problem. I will be posting some new videos with me singing in a while. I have tried to write a bit, but it just got cheesy cliché words all the way. I have had a little break from writing now, but I’ll get to back to it ;) Yeah, I would love to hear them!

    Trust me, I will never give up. This is my thing.

    Man you’re only 17, a lot of people don’t get any where with song writing till they’re in their 20s! You have tons of time to get your Break- through, you just have to keep trying and be persistent! I watched some of your videos and they’re good, but I think you should get together with a singer and record some stuff, Do you write lyrics as well? I’m a songwriter too, I’m 19, I have a few songs recorded, if you’d like to hear them let me know!

    Any ways, don’t give up!

    Thank you for doing this.
    I am starting at music-school this year, and I want to start impressing people with making songs already. I’m only 17, but I feel like I don’t have much time left to get my break-through. I really think this can help me with my songwriting, as I’m not the best songwriter so far.

    I’ll take this challenge, and message you in a week or so :)

    All of this stuff …
    All of this stuff is stuff I’ve heard while studying song writing on the internet, but this is by far the best and most understandable way the info has been presented

    I’m afraid it’ll take me a bit longer than expected…, I’m having some troubles with finding a good hook that I’m totally satisfied with as well as with the lyrics because I have almost zero experience in writing them and english is not my main language… but on the other hand I’ve made some progress and keep on trying until i’m really satisfied with the song. Will definitly post it.

    ok, i’m gonna give it a try, just one question: are chord extentions within the same chord allowed? like i’m using an Am as my main chord and at some points use Am7 or Am7(b5) that kind of stuf?

    Your videos are …
    Your videos are some of the best and most sensible to the point insights into songwriting I’ve ever seen. You’re like a guru man. And I’ve been writing for a long time and have even sold a song in Nashville a while back, but I still feel lost on great changes and hooks. But you have… IT. It’s great I love it. I’m a single parent and don’t have a lot of money to throw around at the moment. But when I do get the cash I’m getting your books for sure. You rock!!!

    Not yet. The video hasn’t been up for very long, so I’m hoping there’ll be some songs to listen to within the next few weeks. Are you going to try to write something?
