Reviews
"I count myself lucky and proud to have studied with Mr. Pattison. I would not be the writer I am today without his teaching and his unique and comprehensive understanding of language, rhyme, rhythm, and structure." - 3-time Grammy winner Gillian Welch "Pat Pattison does the impossible. He takes the mystery out of songwriting without taking the heart out of it." - David Wilcox "I took a class with a great teacher named Pat Pattison... I learned a lot in that class...and I still read that book, Writing Better Lyrics . I think it's great." -7-time Grammy winner John Mayer "Last year, I read a book called "Writing Better Lyrics" by Pat Pattison that completely reshaped the way I look at songwriting. Just as an athlete prepares for a game with a proper warm-up, I've learned to start my day with writing. I picked up a black Moleskine notebook and began writing freely without worrying about meter or rhyme scheme as a way to reflect on my thoughts or my day. Not only has this practice allowed me to get the creative juices flowing each morning, but I now have a notebook full of memories to look back on..." - Madison Kozak "It's a great book for new songwriters, to whom some of this advice will be revolutionary, and it's great for experienced writers who want to understand songwriting on a theoretical level." --Liam Duncan, musicindustryhowto.com

  • Recommend for any type of writer

    Recommend this book to songwtier AND even writer at any level of experience or desire to learn. Also watch Pattison's free tutorials on YouTube if you can't afford the Berkeley tuition fees to sit through his classes haha! They've helped my tremendously as well. Pat Patterson is an excellent teacher!! So glad I snagged a printed copy (updated edition) of his teachings. My creativity and writing (both generally in my creative writing, and lyrically as well) have easily improved 2 to 3 times over. Thank you..bottom line, if you're skeptical of buying this book then wait no longer; DON'T hesitate. It's fantastic, and if you follow the teachings and exercises your writing will improve also. Thanks again.

  • WRITING BETTER LYRICS

    Pat Pattison is amazing. And he deserves the recognition for being one of the best songwriter/teacher. Book shows how to go deeper to find those golden nuggets. Lots of examples as well as inspiration. You will learn how to use all of your senses and what questions to ask and what prosody is all about. If you want to become a better writer, get this book. It's worth it. It's the definitive text on becoming a better songwriter.
