Hello Songwriters!

Happy Spring!  This season of new life and renewal is a great time to recharge your songwriting batteries with the best of the best.  Steve Seskin is one of the best songwriting teachers around, and this week we are featuring three of his best talks on songwriting.

These videos focus on some of the key elements of a good song: lyrics, verses, and chords.  Find out what Steve has to say about lyric writing -- and what makes a great lyric.  Learn his tried and true strategies to help get you moving when you find yourself stuck after writing your first verse (the dreaded Curse of the Second Verse).  And once your lyrics are in good shape, get some tips on how to use chords to improve your songs and make them stronger.  

Steve's talks are fun, approachable, easy to understand, and most importantly, insightful.  What follows is just about the best we think he has to offer.
