Truefire Matt Turk's The Songwriting Construction Kit TUTORiAL

Creative Building Blocks for the Singer-Songwriter
Finding inspiration, writing lyrics, composing melody, arranging the song’s form, crafting rhythm and groove -- these are all essential building blocks of songwriting. If you’re a singer-songwriter, you’ll also have to craft your own accompaniment along with your personal approach for singing and performing the song.

Matt Turk’s Songwriting Construction Kit will convey a clear understanding of the songwriting process and a “building blocks” approach for writing and performing your own original songs.

”In the first section of this Songwriter’s Construction Kit, I’ll guide you through a variety of approaches for tackling each of these building blocks, along with demonstrations and recommended assignments -- all designed to help you write and perform your own original songs.

In the second section, I’ll show you how I put all of the building blocks to work across 6 of my own songs. After each performance, we’ll examine and breakdown all of the building blocks that I used to construct and perform the song.

My hope is you can leave your self-doubt at the door, approach your songwriting with a child-like adventure, and use some or all of these building blocks to construct your own songs.”

A seasoned recording artist and multi-instrumentalist, Matt Turk is a veteran singer-songwriter who has engaged audiences around the world, both as a bandleader and as an acoustic folk troubadour. He has shared the stage with Pete Seeger, opened for Judy Collins, The Doobie Brothers, Fiona Apple, The Grateful Dead's Mickey Hart, John Entwistle, David Bromberg, and many more top artists. We’re thrilled to welcome Matt to the family with his first TrueFire course, The Songwriting Construction Kit.

You’ll get standard notation and tabs for all of the performance studies. Plus, you’ll be able to use TrueFire’s learning tools to sync the tab and notation to the video lesson. You can also loop or slow down the videos so that you can work with the lessons at your own pace.
