Songwriting Techniques simply thought I might share a piece of actually good songwriting advice given by Masters (no don't stop reading yet!).

By: Tim Greenwood

Anyhow again to my point. Jay-z performed his 'New York State of Thoughts' and I've to say it was very good.

Afterward the host, Jools Holland interviewed Jay-z and as a parting shot stated to him, 'as the undisputed king of rap what recommendation would you give any younger up and coming songwriters musicians about making it in the music business?' His reply was this: 'Don't pretend it. Play what is true to you'.
OK so you're pondering, effectively that's nothing new. Heard that before. Sure me too, nonetheless( here is where I hopefully make my point) the very next act on was 'Sting' formerly of the Police. Well he sits there and with a lute participant and sings this bizarre form of Gaelic sea shanty and I'm watching him and listening and considering to myself 'that is rubbish'. Yes it ticked all of the containers for the type of music(Sting could be very proficient at songwriting after all), however did I imagine him? Was he credible? NO! Was he faking it? YES! And it showed.

OK, I'm not precisely able to criticise Sting, but I suppose the purpose I'm attempting to get across is that Sting's 'Real' songwriting id within the Police got him to the top of his game. If he have been simply starting out now I doubt very a lot whether his current music would get him any recognition as a result of it isn't coming from the center!on there. For example this week he had about 8 teams on, 1 being Steve Martin ( yes 'THE' Steve Martin who in addition to being a comic is a very completed Banjo participant, and straight after he had 'Alice In Chains'! Now there is a mixture.

Anyhow again to my point. Jay-z performed his 'New York State of Mind' and I have to say it was very good.

Afterward the host, Jools Holland interviewed Jay-z and as a parting shot mentioned to him, 'because the undisputed king of rap what recommendation would you give any younger up and coming songwriters musicians about making it within the music business?' His answer was this: 'Don't faux it. Play what is true to you'.

OK so you're thinking, effectively that's nothing new. Heard that before. Sure me too, nevertheless( here's where I hopefully make my point) the very next act on was 'Sting' previously of the Police. Properly he sits there and with a lute participant and sings this weird sort of Gaelic sea shanty and I'm watching him and listening and pondering to myself 'that is garbage'. Yes it ticked all the containers for the style of music(Sting could be very gifted at songwriting in spite of everything), however did I believe him? Was he credible? NO! Was he faking it? YES! And it showed.

OK, I am not exactly ready to criticise Sting, but I suppose the point I'm trying to get across is that Sting's 'Actual' songwriting id within the Police got him to the highest of his game. If he have been simply starting out now I doubt very a lot whether or not his current music would get him any recognition because it's not coming from the center!
