Gary is so inspirational and takes you through his thought process when writing a song and breaks a song down so you can confidently have a go yourself. I love the extra sessions about confidence and creativity. Gary's wisdom, life experience and song writing experience really shines through.

What was your primary motivation for purchasing this course? Learn a new skill
TEN lessons in and I have learnt NOTHING about songwriting so far. Gary is clearly a successful musician and highly driven and passionate person but so far it is filler and fluff and as if he were giving an interview about his life. If I wanted to watch that I'd google it. As a complete I came here to learn a formula and practical techniques about how to actually write a song not him wanging him drifting from one thing to the next and not really giving any actionable info. If I learn something by the end of it I will come back and edit this review.

So much to love about this course. Getting inside the mind of a successful songwriter was an inspiration for me, and the absolute highlight was seeing his songwriting process, warts and all. Thank you, Gary for your honesty in sharing your talent with us. I for one, feel a call to arms; to get the music out of my head and into the world.

I found this course totally inspirational. It has rekindled the passion for songwriting that I enjoyed many years ago, and I feel ready to sit at the piano and create once more after several years of doing nothing (which, as a music graduate, really saddened me). Gary's enthusiasm and way of getting his point across is so engaging - I wish I could have seen this course many moons ago. Thank you so much!

Inspiring. I love that it doesn't dive into the technical stuff, but talks about emotion and feelings when songwriting. Totally recommended.

What I found most useful, was when Gary created a song on the spot it gave a real insight into how he approaches song writing. I would of love to know more about that as its something thats not shared very much as it can be quite a private process...well done to him.

Brilliant Touches on every doubt I’ve ever had as well as inspiring and clearly digs deep into his own very many experiences of his journey and trade In the art of songwriting but also as a hard working ordinary person whose still striving but so willing to share and encourage others … clearly a northern boy

Could not stop watching this course once I had started. I am a guitarist and singer and have always wanted to write songs but never really known where to start. This not only has given me a number of potential pathways to make a start but has given me the inspiration to want to start and succeed. Gary is an inspirational and passionate teacher on this subject and I am grateful to have had access to some of his experience. Also, being able to watch his process on an example song was just amazing to see.
