im trying to learn how to write songs, anytime I hear a Shawn demo i get inspired to write something that has interesting chords and melodies https://youtu.be/jkb0DPVu2to?si=G3ZiCcqQf4_CtDmd who would Shawn listen to and what inspired him to write this piece? I know he listened to all different genres of music and i’d like to know his process in writing.

I added the books for both REH Videos and the Big Book. I m going to be posting specific techniques from Shawn and in General in this course and like the other courses this will be a living, breathing project! Dont forget when you get done with any of our courses through pages and modules to check them off so we and you can check your progress! Also Dont forget to work your way through the Masterclasses from Sid and The Material as this will help you develop much of these rock solid techniques as they are designed to make you free on your instrument and help you navigate through anything physically and mentally! Also Check out Masterclass 2 on the one Shawn Lane Lick that we posted where he mixes up the timing through Phrygian.

Here is a demonstration of using the 2nd finger to bring over to speed through the pentatonics.
