BBC 'Introducing Masterclass'

« on: April 02, 2012, 05:48:19 AM »
These came around at some point last year, this one is particularly relevant. (And hopefully helpful to someone! :) )

Thoughts? I have to say, the first time I saw this I felt like I disagreed with a lot of what he's saying but it's grown on me more and more...

I think this is a great resource for songwriters. Agree with almost everything the man says. I might watch the recording and guitar ones later if I have time. :)

I'm watching this in instalments.  I'm feeling quite chuffed as I already have one bit of advice, "write rubbish songs", down to a fine art.   :D

You can find last year's ones here
&feature=plcp
although you might find them a bit disappointing if you've seen this year's excellent ones first. They're not bad  ;)
