In this episode of the Songwriting for Guitar Podcast, Mike dives into the skill of active listening and how it can transform your songwriting. Instead of passively enjoying music, he shows how dissecting melodies, rhythms, and lyrics can reveal the choices that make songs impactful. Drawing parallels to Michelangelo’s detailed study of anatomy, Mike emphasizes the value of analysis in honing artistry, while also sharing practical strategies you can use to make active listening part of your daily routine, helping you sharpen your ear, elevate your craft, and stand out in today’s crowded music landscape.
