The breakdowns that Dan does really dig deep into both how a song is written and how it is played. It’s a whole different level of insight. If you want to understand a song on a deep level beyond just the lyrics, Dan is the best. Song selection is really great and varied. Metallica? Got it. Tool? Got it. Radiohead? Got it. Dire Straights? Got it. Jimi? Got it. Zep? That too He listens to his followers about songs to cover. Can’t recommend Dan high enough His enthusiasm is infectious.

I find The Breakdown Room to be a great place for musicians of all levels, as well as people just interested in exploring new music and wanting to learn a little theory. I love the ‘share your music’ thread, which is a really supportive place where people can get constructive feedback on everything from raw demos/ideas to fully realized/produced songs. Dan’s breakdowns and lessons are excellent. I find the lessons extremely easy to follow and the song choices are always great.

My first encounter with Dan was with his YouTube shorts. They struck a chord with me. He authentically captures the emotion and brilliance in music framed by his excellent knowledge of music theory. Simply put, Dan seemed to love songs just the way I do. This all led me to The Breakdown Room. I was ambivalent at first because my guitar kills have plateaued for the last 40 years. But alas The Breakdown Room is applicable to all skill levels. And its members are supportive.

I’ve always had a deep love for music, and what I really enjoy about The Breakdown Room is being around people who share that same excitement and appreciation. Dan has such a genuine passion for what he does, and it really comes through in every session. I love hearing him pull apart songs I’ve listened to countless times and point out little things I may have never noticed before. There’s something really special about hearing music you already love in a whole new way.

Big fan of Dan and what he does, discovered him on facebook, and would watch his videos all the time. Naturally I was stoked he decided to launch The Breakdown Room. I didn't think twice, jumped right in and it's really one of the coolest things i've been apart of. All the positives of social media, learning and music and none of the negatives imo. Just started off and there's already tons of content! Highly recommend you join up!👌 💯🎶
