👍 Thanks for the motivation to get Tunesmith and work through improving my song Good Morning to You My Sweetheart NEW SONG by Mary Kay Aufrance - Now, instead of a short little ditty with just Verse-Verse-Chorus twice through, I included: - a prolog with a fun little bass line and accordion accompaniment, - an introduction with lyrics that set the stage, - a couple of 7th chords at the end of the intro, with the last of these being on the 2-chord, to peak the listener's interest, - a bunch of short little fills throughout the song, which I played on my happy little accordion, - a bridge that I also played on my accordion, to lead into the second verse, - a bass line. These days I think songs just really gotta have a bass line, - vocal harmonies on the chorus, for Tom to sing with me. That's a lot! It was a lot of composing and twiddling on my part, but it sure was fun to put the suggestions in the book to work.

This is swell! I'm gearing up to write songs again after a long spell of doing other things. This video was inspiring. I hope you'll proceed with others in the series.

just discovered your channel a few days ago, so far this is my favourite song you've ended up with. really relevant message to all of us on the road to becoming better song writers. Very well put together.

This video series is such a great idea and very informative. Thank you so much!

This is great

Thank you

This is going way too fast and the music in the background does not help at all! But, thank you for the video. I have a copy of Tunesmith and I need to read it again as I read it years ago: it must have been in 2013

turn down the background music, really annoying.
