Tebomusic Feb 25, 2020 - Song Building Blocks Part 3
After reviewing the main building blocks of any song in the last 2 episodes, now is when we can finally put them all together and break all the rules to transform our great original into something truly memorable. As promised I also go into more detail about the infamous solo and how the intrinsic humility & professionalism of real artists should dictate their use. Also a progress update on my work with 'Rosey Days' which is quickly becoming my biggest favourite in the repertoire!

Tebomusic Feb 4, 2020 - Doing More With Less & Focus On Tempo
The precious art of keeping your listeners wanting more often comes by giving less, the silence in between can be just as powerful if not more so than all amps cranked to 11. Feeling the tempo and giving space to breathe has often made good songs even greater, and in this episode I'll go into examples of how your music can be just as powerful.

Tebomusic Jan 28, 2020 - You and Your Desert Island Instrument, Are Enough
For both new and veteran songwriters alike, there are so many forces at play in our lives that can distract us from being our creative best, not the least of which is our own self-doubt about whether or not we have all the right tools or skills to make it in the competitive artistic world. In this episode of the Tebomusic weekly podcast I go straight at this toxic source of doubt to remind you, with real life examples, of why you and your main instrument are totally enough.
