Truefire John Oates' MasterCraft: Collaboration TUTORiAL

Interactive Video Masterclass Series
Countless hit songs across the entire history of popular music were written in collaboration with another songwriter. Co-writing is an essential aspect of the songwriting process, and today's writers will find themselves in a wide variety of co-writing situations.

In this Collaboration edition of John Oates' MasterCraft Series, you will learn how to approach and make the most out of the many different co-writing situations you will inevitably find yourself in.

” I've had many years of experience co-writing with Daryl, but also with many other songwriters. Learning how to approach and make the most out of each situation can be challenging and, naturally, requires first-hand experience.

In this edition of MasterCraft, I'll share many of the key learnings from my own experiences and pass on the approaches that have worked best for me. Hopefully, you'll find these approaches helpful on your own journey as a songwriter.“

John describes actual co-writing experiences from his own career to illustrate best practices for collaborative co-writing. Key lessons include A Safe Place for Creativity, The Dynamics of Collaboration, The Benefits of Getting Feedback, Working With a Lyricist, Keeping an Open Mind, and The Business of Collaborating.

You'll have TrueFire's advanced learning tools at your fingertips to personalize your workspace and learn at your own pace.

The performances are tabbed, notated, and synced to the video with looping and slow-motion controls. Backing tracks, Guitar Pro files, printable tab and notation are also included.

Inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, John Oates' exceptional talents as a musician, songwriter, and producer have and continue to make seminal contributions to our musical heritage.
