Welcome back to Beatles Month!   Today we’re joined by Matt Blick, who is the man behind the  Beatles Songwriting Academy, a website dedicated to analyzing every single Beatles song to learn what makes them tick.   Since founding the site in 2009 Matt has written over 500 detailed posts on what he's learned from studying the songs of the Beatles - and he’s written over 300 songs himself.   You see, unlike some song analysis websites you find, Matt's site is particularly notable for being very practical in its focus. Although it's fascinating to read his posts purely for interest, every one is written with the active song writer in mind, to inspire and guide them to better and easier song writing, inspired by the principles used by The Beatles themselves.   In this conversation we talk about:   How The Beatles could obey and break the conventional rules of songwriting so expertly if they never learned music theory. Some specific ways The Beatles modified chord progressions to be more effective and distinctive in their songs. Matt also shares what actually causes writer's block and how to fix it. We also talk about the ways Matt has benefitted from all his Beatles studies in his own songwriting, including specific examples of songs he's written using particular principles he learned from the Fab Four.
