(Berklee Press). An essential guide for all songwriters and Beatles fans, this book explores John Lennon's songwriting genius with a guided tour through 25 of his Beatles-era hits. Author John Stevens explains Lennon's intuitive talent from a technical point of view, through the lens of songwriting's three basic elements: melody, harmony and lyric. He shows how Lennon fashioned songs that were at once politically and socially relevant during the '60s, yet remain ageless and timeless today. Features in-depth musical analysis of: A Hard Day's Night * Ticket to Ride * Norwegian Wood * Strawberry Fields Forever * Come Together * and more. John Stevens is a songwriting professor at Berklee College of Music. For more than 20 years, he has taught "The Music of John Lennon," one of the most popular courses in the Berklee curriculum. "You've got the Beatles' records and the John Lennon records; now with this book, you can have the Owner's Manual. This will tell you how the songs are built and how they work. Good stuff." Marshall Crenshaw, Singer/Songwriter Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

However, I just have a hard time getting with Beatle songs taught at University level, deconstructing each tune, analysing every key change, etc...
Lennon/Mcartney were legendarily great songwriters--made even BETTER in my eyes, even more amazing, in that they in all likelihood would have basically no idea what any of the stuff in this book means. They wrote chord changes and melody lines cause they thought they sounded good, or because they had just learned a new chord the day before and said 'wow, let's put that cool new chord in our new song!'... not because they were basing cadences on voice leading, or they were going after an aleatory vibe, or anything like that.
That being said, obviously Stevens is a wealth of knowledge and an expert in his field, so if this kind of thing does it for ya, than go for it, you could do worse. (
