Richard Middleton, Songwriter: Resources

"Inside Music" Archive: Over 40 articles from my old "Inside Music" column in Victory Review. Spanning more than three and a half years (1999-2003), they cover a wide range of music topics, including theory, rhythm, songwriting, instrumental technique, recording and mixing, and more.

Songspace.net: A website I've created to highlight the incredibly talented singer-songwriters in the Seattle area. You'll find a concert calendar, artist features, an artist directory, a searchable venue database, lists of open mics and concert series, and a lot more – all free. The only site of its kind in the Northwest.

Guitar Transcriptions: Detailed transcriptions of fingerstyle guitar arrangements from my CD, WEB. Currently available are "Piggy," "Never Even," and "The Potter's Daughter." More will be added in the future.

The Reading List contains dozens of books on creativity, songwriting, music biography, recording, and the music business. These are books I've found informative or inspiring over the years, and I hope you find them useful, too. I'll be expanding the list from time to time, so check back.
