I am a Artist myself and I read "Writing Better Lyrics" & "Songwriting without boundaries" and both these books where incredible , cover to cover. Packs a great amount of knowledge.

You have an amazing ability to put in simple words the mesmerising realm of songwriting. Always loved your classes and learned so much from you. Thank you! Love you Pat!

This video done quite some time ago is still very valuable right now to every new writer discovering songs , I really really loved this information , something I will never forget and will always treasure , thank you where ever you are .🙏

Very useful tools indeed. I appreciate the chance to watch your seminar.

Absolutely Incredible. My heart was thumping with each of the teaching concepts. I can’t wait to try some of these things out today!!!!

yo ive been writing raps since I was 11, so its been 15 years of songwriting and practice. This video was amazing! Pat is the truth!

This guy is great. I saw him on cousera for Berklee's songwriting course.

I believe the most important part of a song is the music, because my musician and singer can make a beautiful song no matter how mediocre my lyrics are.

Charming, intelligent, helpful and stable seminar.

Ok the last 10 minutes were like... blew my mind... he said those same thing in the Coursera course, but I think here he showed better with this last example/improvisation =)

Pat, It was a real pleasure to hear your ideas in both action and theory. It's great to see you having fun doing what you love the most. Best Regards, James L. Perry, Producer

He let down my expectations, and left me unstable 😏 Gotta stick around for the end.

Thank you for making this available to us. I'm hugely grateful for that.

I found this seminar to be very energetic and helpful ! Over the years in my life, I sometimes get distracted with other things < But when I feel it in the wind ,or the urge , spirit, inspiration etc .... I swim in it, Hoping to find success, strong enough to keep me there in that aeroplane ! Thank You Pat sir, Great 2019 to you ....

Pat, Just found your Channel. A couple of songwriters I know that attended Berklee College of Music. One is Liz Longley. I had interviewed her when she was 18 for an internet radio show I was doing. Second is Jesse Terry. I now do an internet tv show uploaded to KZfaq called "The Performing Songwriter". Jesse was my guest on the last show uploaded.

this has just opened a totally new world for me.! thank you for posting.

Briliant great book too "Writing Better Lyrics"

“This is not rocket surgery”

Loved this!

Thank you Pat, this has given me the tools to move on.

This was actually super incredible! Pat is a genius!

Love how you explain things. Profound stuff! Phrasing on crack.

So enjoyable. Excellent explanation. Entertaining.

this guy is great, i learned alot. can we have more clips from this guys please

Really valuable material. You are opening my eyes.

50:58 with your number of lines, with your line lenghts, with your rhyme skemes and your rhyme types.stable enough for my new song

This is great and can be how you make gold!!!!

Really great seminar! Thank you.

Absolutely amazing

Amazing tools. Thank you!

im still home but now it's five years later and i'm peaking in the window

Pat is great. I took his class at Berklee back in 75-76ish. I still refer to his notes from then...curious comment he makes here on unions however. Wonder if he meant it....sounded pretty stable to me...lol

Such a legend. Learnt so much

Incredible stuff... Thank you Mr.Pattison/IMRO

I'm trying to find an article I once read by Pat about John Mayer's song 'Badge & Gun'. I've been looking for it everywhere and can't find it. I now can't remember if it was an article or a seminar like this. Can anyone help?

thanks for confirming what i thought i was doing was wrong, was actually right, if that makes sense... thanks for posting!

great teacher

Amazing stuff! Thank you!

32:31 his Do re me is actually an A note lol

Just excellent!

Really enjoyable and informative! Thanks x

Thank you man! Very usefull!!

Wow this is super helpful.

Thanks for teaching

Really, really inspired me

I was looking at several songs to see if they followed the rule about real rhymes with even words, and false rhymes with uneven number of words, and I have not found that technique in any of the songs I have looked at. So what song that you know has it?

Did everyone miss the part when he used even number of lines to make his point 😂🔥❤️

even though I have been watching this, I am not sure how you put in a down beat with your lyrics, or what a downbeat is, and should I put it first or not?

nice seminar!

amazing seminar. I wish i was in attendance!

I need a mp3 rip of the class singing the world goes around the sun

thank you!

That is amazing

"my name is pat and im music's thesaurus"

The girl singing, does a good job on the spot. who was she?

Make subtitles please!! Thank you. Automatically for youtube

Great seminar..tough crowd..lol

what is the song at 53:30??

Biggest lesson: creativity does not equal spontaneity

I love the material, but i mute the video when he makes the voices.

1:09:10 the girl flinches lololol

Quoting Aristotle? I’m in.

Really interesting seminar !

I love this guy I'd even rather sleep with him than with john mayer

pat for pat !!

Thanks!

how many hits has pat or his student wrote with his techniques? Please list some. TY

He’s the Jack Nicholson of music

Tough croud

"Doesn't matter what you are. Get yourself a good car, get out of here!"

He kinda looks like Gary Shandling. :)

John 3:16

Who?

What the heck is he talking about at 45:30? Friend, wind, and bend all perfectly rhyme, do they not!? Maybe not in every accent of English, but in his own standard American accent they certainly do.
