With 10 albums over a 20-year career, Canadian singer/songwriter/guitarist Jacob Moon dropped into the studio to share a wealth of helpful tips and clear insights. “Live a Little” is a truly exceptional tune, a perfect marriage of lyrics, melody, theme and variation.  “Is That All You Got” is a gutsy rocker that looks at calamity with defiance and a “bring it on” attitude. The hour just flew by as we discussed –

* live performance looping

* putting cover songs on YouTube

* social media

* how to reharmonize your chords using the same melody

* the influence on Jacob of songwriters Paul Simon, Ron Sexsmith, Joni Mitchell, and Jackson Brown

* the benefits of writing a song using only a bass guitar (or the bass notes on piano)

* open (alternate) tunings including the ever-popular DADGAD

* how a great song requires hard work and lots of rewrites
