Lieven shows you how to write a basic song in a minor key, using Am as key in this session. Learn how it differs from a major key, apply a basic structure as foundation and add your own flavour.
Have some questions you want to see me answer?
Got a lyric you want me to turn into a song (allowing my artistic freedom to alter it)

This was a great session that surely will keep me busy for some time.
It was exciting to learn that there is so much intention, logic and structure behind the mysterious magic of songwriting.
Oh dear, and even a certain amount of maths behind the moods
And on top of that the new chord progressions are a great addition and enrichment for the fingerstyle patterns in 4:4 (module 19) I’m currently working on.
It is so much fun to play around with these and try out what works and what doesn’t.
The slides are very helpful to revisit all the different tips and tricks, because there had been so much input.
Thank you for another great, well structured and presented, easy to follow, helpful and motivating session, Lieven!
Huge thanks to Lieven for this one, what a great subject. There’s a lot of info to unpack from this session but great content and i’m looking forward to digesting some of it in my own time
This was a cool session. I admit I went through it 2 times to really digest the information, it was really helpful and informative. Thank you so much Lieven. Loved the cool riff at the end also.
Make sure to try it for yourself, pick a key of your choice and work with the formula’s. use the treicks to spice things up and don’t forget to experiment with chord spacing, swapping places, tempo and picking/strummign styles to move it forward!
