HOW TO WRITE A SONG, RIGHT NOW - Part 1: LEARN from Mick Jagger & Keith Richards
#Songwriting #MickJagger #KeithRichards
Part 1 of a 5-part series. I'll help you find the inspiration and determination to write an original song NOW.
Mick Jagger and Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones are one of the most successful songwriting duos in history. Find out how they got started and what you can learn from them.
To show how simple the building blocks of an original song can be, I play pieces from a bunch of simple 3 and 4-chord songs that became huge hits for wide-ranging artists like Buddy Holly, Tom Petty, U2, The Kinks, The Verve, and T. Rex.
There's no reason why YOU can't write a song with a riff and melody to rival what you hear on the radio. Take today's song challenge and give it a try!

Hi, my name is Robert Cassard. I'm a lifelong guitar player, singer-songwriter, producer, and music fanatic. I create Guitar and Recording Discoveries videos with a simple goal: to make YOU a better, happier, more confident musician!
In 2018, after more than 40 years as a pro musician, I started sharing my experiences through easy-to-understand YouTube videos — giving you shortcuts to de-mystify playing, singing and recording.
My "day job" is as a video writer/producer/director. Often it's hard to balance my need to earn a living with my desire to share the pure joy of music through the YouTube videos I make for free.
Your ongoing support means the world to me and encourages me do more of what I love — sharing musical discoveries to help and inspire you! I invite you to become a "Guitar Discoverer” by signing up on Patreon so I can keep providing you the most value I can. https://www.patreon.com/robertcassard
