Tunesmith: Inside the Art of Songwriting

In what has been described as perhaps the finest book about songwriting of our time, legendary songwriter Jimmy Webb brings his insider's knowledge and experience to this ultimate guide for aspiring songwriters. Webb, the composer of such legendary hits as "By the Time I Get to Phoenix," "Wichita Lineman," and "MacArthur Park," to name a few, breaks down the creative process from coping with writer's block, to song construction, chords and even self-promotion to provide the new bible of songwriting.
