SONG STRUCTURE 101 (Pt. 1-A) - THE BASICS: Verse, Chorus, & Bridge

Song structure is one of the most important, yet most overlooked, aspects of #songwriting. If you can master the most effective ways of putting together the various "puzzle pieces" (song sections) used in all subgenres of popular music, then you will take a giant leap toward greatness as a songwriter! And in this video series - Song Structure 101 - I will teach you everything I personally know about the secrets of good song structure. We'll start in this video by covering the 3 most basic and important song segments: the Verse, the Chorus, and the Bridge. I'll explain what their functions and roles are in a song, what they (should) do for the listener, how they typically connect to each other, and why organizing those song sections in particular "tried and true" ways makes sense to our ears, brains, and hearts. In 2 more videos to follow I will delve into transitional song segments, as well as optional song segments that you can throw into the mix, if you like, to add even more interest, variety, and spice to your songwriting. So, please stay tuned, and I hope this series on one of songwriting's foundational topics will help you take your songs to a new level!
