Scott here from Chernobyl Studios and today I'm talking about songwriting with Trey Xavier from Gear Gods.

I've written songs for 20 years and Trey has for even longer... so we sit down and discuss what songwriting is like, common pitfalls such as idea generation and writer's block, as well as how to bypass all that.

I am helping promote Trey's new Songwriting Course (which is absolutely amazing), so we do touch on that topic a few times throughout the video.

Enjoy!
