Lots of techniques discussed, and lots of chances to apply them. Maybe the only thing lacking was a discussion of rhyming schemes, which you can Google to your heart's content outside of this course. Loved all the interviews, and I also discovered a lot of fantastic music along the way that'll influence me.

You can always learn something from every course. Or how not to do things. This course is different from what I have seen before. Fun to hear from other artists. Don't be afraid to text. Looking forward to hearing more!

This course has already got me engaged in the magic of songwriting. Halfway through and I've learned more in Jim's songwriting course than I ever dreamed of. This is a must have course if you're interested in writing songs.

Insgesamt zu lang. Die Interviews mit mäßig bekannten Songwritern waren nicht so inspirierend. Viele gute Ideen und Techniken, um die Kreativität "anzuheizen". Dafür ist es sehr hilfreich, gerade was den Bereich Lyrics angeht.
