Write A Song In 30 Minutes - Music Theory and Songwriting Lessons with Stuart!

[@isaiahbarkat8692]

Stuart is going to singlehandedly make everyone in guitar community a better musician

[@marinmusic]

NOT single-handedly - you don’t even understand how much the feedback and support from you guys helps!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@christophermazzola5819]

@@marinmusicya definitely not single-handedly, it clearly takes two hands to play the guitar

[@ve_xxy]

This feels sm like a real lesson and you make me feel extremely comfortable even if we’re not face to face but it helps me learn better

[@ego_peyseyshestvo]

that's the most aggressive lesson I've had ever

[@Zoologic21]

Reminds me of those extreme body/spine alignment videos with chiropractors that look like they’re destroying your skeleton hah. Except here it’s definitely helpful

Honestly this guys energy kept me watching the video.

[@nallekarhu7994]

I think the name Stuart suits Stuart very well.

[@Yearlybreeze]

Right? Stuart looks just like a Stuart.

[@hyb]

I’m sure you get the enough, but you are honestly the best guitar teachers on the internet. I hope you get the recognition you deserve!

[@marinmusic]

Thank you so much!!! I feel like I am getting SO MUCH recognition and support… 🥹🥰🥹🥰🥹

This is one of the most memorable, quirky, informative videos on songwriting I’ve ever seen. He actually drops so much knowledge in a way that doesn’t feel overloading.

I think this man would be a blast to hang out with

[@rileyc9215]

After watching these theory videos I feel like an absolute dummy for playing guitar for 13 years without attempting to learn this stuff. So incredibly useful.

[@marinmusic]

It’s useful! 🤓

[@willb6442]

I'm hearing ya dude

[@Buceops]

Order of our song for reference: Riff 4 times. Verse 4 times. Chorus 4 times. Go back to Riff 2 times. (Interlude) Verse 2 times. Chorus 4 times. Bridge 2 times. Chorus 4 times. (The amount of times played for each section can be changed as you wish) (Also write a melody for your verse, chorus, and bridge. Each melody should start with a different note than the others so each section sounds different.) For recording the song I am personally using REAPER and it's also free. Also thank you so much for this tutorial! This helped immensely in wrapping my head around the song writing process.

[@marinmusic]

Thank you for this!!!

[@bruh2843]

this is a very useful comment, thank you!

[@eignalegnar4805]

I was so stressed about music theory, clicked this video for your vibes and to learn simultaneously and it’s the best decision I’ve made today

[@marceline1514]

this has been so helpful! writing a song always seemed really intimidating, so breaking it down like this and making it fun is very epic

[@Fellsteadytrees89]

What a absolutely brilliant video this is. Really appreciate this man. Top job.

26:35 The reason you probably like this is because you kind of recreated part of the bridge to Sarah by Alex G without noticing lol. Which makes this tutorial all the more compelling

Wow. I've been watching all the video to understand everything and the whole song its just amazing. It blows my mind (not literally, glad about that I guess) how good it sounds I actually like it! And I've been three days trying mine but I needed this lesson. I will try to make a new try following your steps, many many thanks ! :D I know you from the video of Duvet tutorial... That was the first video I saw from yours XD

[@TrentKaniuga]

dope

[@SteveReaves]

That is a beautiful Martin. What model is it? I'm glad you put a basic Theory lesson in this video. I don't think it's necessarily a prerequisite for writing a song, but it definitely helps to know a few chords, and why they sound good together.

[@marinmusic]

Thank you!! It’s a Martin D17M - discontinued, I believe…

I took guitar lessons when I was a young kid and I me er learned what a “fret” was! You just showed me, though I did watch once and again, rely zoomed. I get on the piano what are the major and minor notes but not on guitar and I don't understand what different major or minor chords
