I thought all this stuff was right on target. It is similar to book writing. You gotta know the rules.


In music, I have 3 simple rules I follow, having indoctrinated the kind of stuff he teaches until it has become second nature to me now, kind of like riding a bike. These lessons and rules have become part of my DNA.

Now, I know I have to:

1. Listen to A LOT of music.

2. Practice my butt off.

3. Write a song EVERY DAY.


I don't see any other way to learn this stuff.


Once you learn the rules in that video it turns into work. Fun work, but work.

Writing a good catchy song is HARD.

If it sounds like it was easy, that means it was even harder.
