Songwriter Building Blocks Downloads
Songwriter Building Blocks are free to use as you see fit. All I ask is that you credit me if you release anything that uses them (a credit pack is included in the download) and that you consider me if you ever need bespoke guitar recorded for your tracks.
There’s no obligation, but if you do release anything that uses them please let me know as I’d love to hear it and share it. And if you have any suggestions for future blocks or ways I can improve them just drop me an email – matt@matthelm.co.uk
