I am a Artist myself and I read "Writing Better Lyrics" & "Songwriting without boundaries" and both these books where incredible , cover to cover. Packs a great amount of knowledge.
I just ordered the first a few days ago, been writing songs for decades, I've never taken a more intentional approach to studying lyrical aspects until now. Nice name
You have an amazing ability to put in simple words the mesmerising realm of songwriting. Always loved your classes and learned so much from you. Thank you! Love you Pat!
This video done quite some time ago is still very valuable right now to every new writer discovering songs , I really really loved this information , something I will never forget and will always treasure , thank you where ever you are .🙏
I found this seminar to be very energetic and helpful ! Over the years in my life, I sometimes get distracted with other things < But when I feel it in the wind ,or the urge , spirit, inspiration etc .... I swim in it, Hoping to find success, strong enough to keep me there in that aeroplane ! Thank You Pat sir, Great 2019 to you ....
Ok the last 10 minutes were like... blew my mind... he said those same thing in the Coursera course, but I think here he showed better with this last example/improvisation =)
Pat, It was a real pleasure to hear your ideas in both action and theory. It's great to see you having fun doing what you love the most. Best Regards, James L. Perry, Producer
This is very informative and I got a lot of out of his teachings. I'm new to this and I'm very glad that I chose to watch your video. I'll look for your books and watch any videos you have here on TH-cam. Thank you Sir.
Pat, Just found your Channel. A couple of songwriters I know that attended Berklee College of Music. One is Liz Longley. I had interviewed her when she was 18 for an internet radio show I was doing. Second is Jesse Terry. I now do an internet tv show uploaded to TH-cam called "The Performing Songwriter". Jesse was my guest on the last show uploaded.
wow, it opens up a whole new dimension of song writing possibilities. really impressive and profound stuff …and great teaching technique btw!!! Thank you
@@ledaswan5990 I don't really think it is about that. Meaning it's not about if he's written a hit song anymore than a music theory teacher having composed a sonata. Just like with music theory, it helps to to understand what is already happening. If you want to see sad watch the old Larry Dvoskin lecture at CUNY...CRINGE
I believe the most important part of a song is the music, because my musician and singer can make a beautiful song no matter how mediocre my lyrics are.
5 Years Later - I concur. I've done 2 weeks on object writing and I feel like I'm just scratching the surface. I'm going to keep doing daily exercises for a couple more weeks because I'm starting to really build the sense-bound language muscle.
I'm trying to find an article I once read by Pat about John Mayer's song 'Badge & Gun'. I've been looking for it everywhere and can't find it. I now can't remember if it was an article or a seminar like this. Can anyone help?
Pat is great. I took his class at Berklee back in 75-76ish. I still refer to his notes from then...curious comment he makes here on unions however. Wonder if he meant it....sounded pretty stable to me...lol
even though I have been watching this, I am not sure how you put in a down beat with your lyrics, or what a downbeat is, and should I put it first or not?
I was looking at several songs to see if they followed the rule about real rhymes with even words, and false rhymes with uneven number of words, and I have not found that technique in any of the songs I have looked at. So what song that you know has it?
@@frankm6711 It's not a "may have" - he did. And he does. Don't ask a question if you have already decided on the answer - regardless of what is provided. th-cam.com/video/hs599FlQbkU/w-d-xo.html
I don’t think he’s written any as far as I can see. People are saying he’s a genius but wouldn’t a genius be able to write a hit song? Maybe he has I don’t know. I do know some of my favorite songwriters don’t use any of this stuff.
What the heck is he talking about at 45:30? Friend, wind, and bend all perfectly rhyme, do they not!? Maybe not in every accent of English, but in his own standard American accent they certainly do.
@THEmscellany If you don't think he's dropping gems then you aren't super into songwriting. It seems like repetition but he's always adding subtle nuances that make all the difference.

This guy is great. I saw him on cousera for Berklee's songwriting course.
Absolutely Incredible. My heart was thumping with each of the teaching concepts. I can’t wait to try some of these things out today!!!!
Charming, intelligent, helpful and stable seminar.
The Man is a song writing genius and a brilliant teacher thank you Patt
What songs has he written that I need to hear?
He really culminates it at the very end in an interesting way doesn't he?

Thank you for making this available to us. I'm hugely grateful for that.
This man is brilliant. I fall asleep reading this stuff but in person or as close as, it really makes sense and Pat is a great teacher.
Me too lol. I’m just always trying to figure out how good I am so I can know my strengths and weaknesses so I can actually improve.
This video was an absolute game changer for me in my journey as a songwriter. Thank you for posting.🙏
I did Pat's songwriting course ran by Berklee on coursera. It was so helpful and I try to use it the best I can.

Underrated comment.
@@connorfitzgerald6990 Underrated comment about the underratedness of the comment...
(I was gonna say that / Agreed)
Certainly more than you.
@@toddgreenwood1458Hard to say. What great song has this guy written?

Really valuable material. You are opening my eyes.
I'm trying to find an article I once read by Pat about John Mayer's song 'Badge & Gun'.
I've been looking for it everywhere and can't find it.
I now can't remember if it was an article or a seminar like this. Can anyone help?
You´ve open a whole new door for my songwriting, thanks Pat!
Hola Juan Carlos. Soy de Buenos Aires.. Vos dónde sos?

Amazing tools. Thank you!
Really great seminar! Thank you.
This was actually super incredible! Pat is a genius!
this guy is great, i learned alot. can we have more clips from this guys please
The crowd singing is so uplifting
Pat is great. I took his class at Berklee back in 75-76ish. I still refer to his notes from then...curious comment he makes here on unions however. Wonder if he meant it....sounded pretty stable to me...lol
Loved this!
Love how you explain things. Profound stuff! Phrasing on crack.
“This is not rocket surgery”
Amazing stuff! Thank you!
im still home but now it's five years later and i'm peaking in the window
great teacher
Such a legend. Learnt so much
50:58 with your number of lines, with your line lenghts, with your rhyme skemes and your rhyme types.stable enough for my new song
Incredible stuff... Thank you Mr.Pattison/IMRO
He let down my expectations, and left me unstable 😏
Gotta stick around for the end.
Just excellent!
even though I have been watching this, I am not sure how you put in a down beat with your lyrics, or what a downbeat is, and should I put it first or not?
thanks for confirming what i thought i was doing was wrong, was actually right, if that makes sense... thanks for posting!
Thanks for teaching
I was looking at several songs to see if they followed the rule about real rhymes with even words, and false rhymes with uneven number of words, and I have not found that technique in any of the songs I have looked at. So what song that you know has it?
Really enjoyable and informative! Thanks x
32:31 his Do re me is actually an A note lol
Wow this is super helpful.
The girl singing, does a good job on the spot. who was she?
Really, really inspired me
Thank you man! Very usefull!!
That is amazing
amazing seminar. I wish i was in attendance!
Did everyone miss the part when he used even number of lines to make his point 😂🔥❤️
I need a mp3 rip of the class singing the world goes around the sun
Really interesting seminar !
Make subtitles please!! Thank you. Automatically for youtube
nice seminar!
thank you!
every major chord has 4 notes? that is crazy!!! haha. B is part of C Major chord? that would make it a CMaj7 chord, right?
47:00 shut up Pat. ok lmao
Great seminar..tough crowd..lol
I love the material, but i mute the video when he makes the voices.
Quoting Aristotle? I’m in.
I love this guy I'd even rather sleep with him than with john mayer
Biggest lesson: creativity does not equal spontaneity
1:09:10 the girl flinches lololol
pat for pat !!
"my name is pat and im music's thesaurus"
Thanks!
how many hits has pat or his student wrote with his techniques? Please list some. TY
John Mayer is one of his students... Basically, anyone who has graduated from Berklee and took Songwriting in the past 20+ years is his student.
@@HeithinnGydja he may have doesnt really mean he used any of these techniques.
@@frankm6711 It's not a "may have" - he did. And he does. Don't ask a question if you have already decided on the answer - regardless of what is provided.

@@HeithinnGydjaCould it be John Mayer was already a good songwriter and taking this guys class was just a coincidence?
"Doesn't matter what you are.
Get yourself a good car,
get out of here!"
He’s the Jack Nicholson of music
What the heck is he talking about at 45:30? Friend, wind, and bend all perfectly rhyme, do they not!? Maybe not in every accent of English, but in his own standard American accent they certainly do.
Wind doesn't rhyme with the two other words.
I write my songs in spreadsheet with one syllable per cell because I'm fucking distorted like that.
No clue how the audience is sitting so quietly. :D
I notice this is from 2013, back when music wasn’t completely murdered and dead, like today in 2019
Bollocks, it was just as shit. Sexy and I Know It was in the charts.
Tough croud
Very haha
A shout-out to the guy who edited the video....
Pat cracks up a funny dad joke at 1:03:33 -This guy's close up at 1:03:49 sums up "tough crowd"
@THEmscellany If you don't think he's dropping gems then you aren't super into songwriting. It seems like repetition but he's always adding subtle nuances that make all the difference.
He kinda looks like Gary Shandling. :)
