[thealphasystem]

[imthealchamida]

tom waits?

[briandavidphillips]

Any word on when and where the DVD will be available?

[alvaritooooooooo]

Best video about writing music that i've seen on YT (until now). Simple and effective. Thanks a lot!

[cnotenesmith]

I LOVE THOSE STATISTICS AT THE END! I DEFINITELY NEEDED TO SEE THAT! THANKS!

[wallpaperkilla]

asw vid



[cliftonite187]

That was good!

[RachMacwhirter]

Thanks for this! This was a good video. Especially the part about the Idiot Brigade. I've already written quite a few songs for myself (but unfortunately, I've only had the resources to record and upload a few thus far), but I still found this helpful. It's a good reminder that I need to stop listening to other peoples' suggestions so much and instead just do whatever I want to do.

TL;DR: You = win. Thank you :)

[JediTy63]

Hey bro' let me know when the DVDs are ready...

[wilcoxlivepa]

this is pretty funny! and i like the tips thank you for making this!

[generatemusic]

when will the DVD be ready?

thanks

[Mr7Piano7]

You're a great teacher. In the first play you may sounds childish BUT those are the questions that really helps. I think your way to teach is inspiring, teachers should learn this way to learn.

Thank you.

Where is the dvd its not on your website? Is it still being worked on?

[DukeRightious]

@BOBBYSTACCATO Thanks for asking. I'm going thru a divorce and this will be available again after that is finalized (legal stuff). Thanks for listening!

[madmax6123]

how do i get songwriting 202? couldn't find it on your site

[SheLikeTo]

I liked your video a lot. I love music sooo much that I'm thinking I want to learn how to create it! Your video was very inspiring and entertaining. (And informative!) Thanks again!!

[shawanalulu]

this was fun to watch and inspiring!

[studiomikeK0921042]

whats the name of the song at 2:55 ? btw really good and informative video!!!!!

[DukeRightious]

Hey, man, and thanks for listening!  The song at 2:55 is the same song 'I Do' that I was playing in the video - which is exactly my point - don't confuse the melody and lyrics (which is the "song") with the arrangement. Watch it again and you'll hear and see it.

Thanks again for watching!

Duke

[tropicallanterns]

tra la la!

[bugzofbay]

He had a very very good point. If only person likes my music, then my job is done. The most important one person is me! Enjoy what you do, someone else will too. Thats a fact. Be yourself, it is originality. Trying to copy people, well isn't that whats wrong with this world in the first place???

[Welocy]

"slow it up a bit.." xD

[daniells71]

Great teacher! Yes I know it's edited but if I had a music teacher that animated, I would have actually learned something.

[coldplayrocksearth]

[megagnathos]
