HOW TO WRITE GREAT SONGS - Learn from a Master: Paul Simon - Kathy’s Song (Country cover)
#songwriting #paulsimon #kathyssong
Robert shares 2 simple tips that will put you farther down the path to writing great songs.
To write great songs, you need inspiration from world-class songwriters like Paul Simon. Robert Cassard shares his own personal journey with the words and music of Paul Simon and how and why they influenced and improved his own songwriting.
Robert pulls out his "new" vintage Kay banjo (from the 40s or 50s) to play an unexpected Country version of Simon's classic Kathy's Song from the Sounds of Silence LP (1965).

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
