Dummies Style Written By A Songwriter Who Knows What He's Doing
It's written in that funny-yet-intelligent Dummies style, by a co-writer of one of the giant classics of music, Eye Of The Tiger, Jim Peterik. Doesn't get much better than that.

It is teaching me a lot. A good way for a "side approach."
I have been writing songs in and out for 30 years. More than once I have ran out of inspiration or got blocked. Ever since the first few chapters, this manual gave me a few hints that helped me overcome a block or a stall. A very few simple words, qhih someone might have not considered at all, but a great help.

Cool Book
Offered nice advice, thought provoking activities. Although, a lot of the information was common sense even for the most beginner writer; thought it should be a little shorter.

So Easy to Read!
I am enjoying this so far! It’s easy to read and to understand and it’s motivating as hell! I’ve been a writer my whole life and am exploring different avenues in writing and songwriting really does a great job and fulfilling an emotional side that is deep and moving. It’s very therapeutic!

Don’t be put off by the title series, ‘for Dummies’. The book is written in a lively, thought provoking style that gives very clear priorities from ‘this bit is really important’ to ‘well just be aware of this’. I’m certainly learning a lot and took the book on holiday with me.

noch nie habe ich ein Buch aus der “for Dummies” Reihe gelesen was so komplett ungeeignet für Anfänger ist ! Nicht ein pragmatischer Tipp wie ein Dummy ganz konkret Schritt-für-Schritt vorgehen kann. Ich habe das Buch nach 30 Seiten beiseite

This is a good book if you want to copyright and publish your songs, but the actual sections on the techniques of songwriting are not that helpful. Best to buy Music Composition for Dummies or both. If you have never written "real" poetry, also, suggest Writing Better Lyrics by Pat Pattison
