Those 12 people who disliked this free 11 minute lesson on how to write songs should sit in silence think about what they have done. Another awesome Sunday lesson Marty and Lindsay. Way to go on 2 million subscriptions Marty .

Congratulations on hitting 2m man! It's been such a great ride, and thank you for being one of the most influential online teachers that kept me motivated to keep playing!

[toddpschierer]

I watched this particular video a while back but have been playing for about two years now. It seems to make more sense now. I have been a decent writer in the past, poems, but have not done song writing. This seems like such a great lesson to begin this writing of songs journey. Can't wait to start!

[countrymonkOSB]

This is simply the most helpful video I've seen yet on writing songs! Thanks so much for this. Would love to see more on how to be more innovative in choosing chord progressions, spicing them up, etc.

Lindsay, your musical knowledge is deep, and you have a practical way of presenting it in your lesson that makes it easy to understand. Every video that you are on is impressive, makes me wish I was about 40 years younger, ("I'd let you fall in love with me") wait a minute I think I've got the title for my next county song! Blessings on you and yours. Dave

Thanks, Marty, for bringing Lindsay back. I checked out her music after you posted her Nashville Number System video. She is someone we should all support by hitting Subscribe, Like, and Notify, and posting comments. Great video, Lindsay. I have been writing songs for a long time. It can be a messy process that is hard to describe. You did it in the best way possible, by encouragement and example.

I was just searching videos like this this one and you upload

[tone-talk]

Congrats Marty and Lindsey is always a great addition to the channel as well. Great video content.

[rdmkeytohwy]

This is one of the best videos i have seen on basic songwriting....call this Songwriting 101. Lindsay knows her stuff and explains things pretty simply here. Thanks Marty and Lindsay, great stuff. Going to the porch to work on it now!
