SONG FINISHER
🎯 You’ve got riffs, parts, ideas… but no songs. Let’s fix that.
If your hard drive is full of cool song ideas, half-finished demos, and abandoned riffs...
If you’re sick of getting hyped on a new track, only to hit a wall and never come back to it…
If you're a guitarist or songwriter with serious ambitions—or even just writing music for the joy of it—
You need Song Finisher.
This course is your complete roadmap for turning loose musical ideas into fully finished songs, with clear structure, flow, and purpose.
Starting is easy.
But finishing? Sometimes that takes a little help.
Writing songs is fun. But sometimes it feels like the first part (coming up with a riff, a first idea, an opening line) always comes so easily - and then you're stuck.
You don't know where to go next, or how to get it across the finish line.
So you write 23% of a song, record it - and then it sits on your hard drive.
Unfinished.
Forever.
...
Forever...?
NOT ANYMORE!
Hey! I'm Trey Xavier. You probably know me from my 250,000-subscriber strong YouTube channel.
I've written hundreds of songs and analyzed thousands… Studied music at Berklee College of Music and Sonoma State University (I have a degree in music composition)... And learned everything there is to know about songs and songwriting.
In my career, I've written songs with artists from bands such as Trivium, Amaranthe, Between the Buried and Me, Soilwork, The Agonist, Spiritbox, and more. And I critique dozens of songs every week in my livestreams.
I've learned what works in songs (and what doesn't), so you don't have to reinvent the wheel every time. I'm here to share my knowledge of songwriting with you...to make it easier, faster, and more fun for you to create memorable, rich songs that you’ll be proud of…and your audience will fall in love with.
Today is the day you start finishing every song you write.
Did you even know you can do that?
I know it sounds crazy, but I think many musicians really don't believe it to be true - because they, like you (and like I once did) have a pile of orphan riffs, tons of ideas - but they don't know the tried-and-true methods for how to develop them into full songs.
But anyone can take their ideas through to finished products, every time - I know because I'm anyone - but after years of studying and analysis of what it takes to complete a song, I now finish every song I set out to complete.
100%.
All of them.
Every time.
And now I wanna help you to do the same, and you can - even if you've never finished a song before.
Here's what you'll get:
- Proven techniques used by professional bands for turning musical ideas into hit songs
- Exact step-by-step methods I've developed over 30 years of songwriting experience to complete songs, even when you're stuck
- Watch me take 2 songs from just a small idea to a final composition, every step of the way and every detail
- Learn about the elements of song structures, why certain song structures work and why some don't, and how to put them together into a meaningful journey
- Different ways to begin and end a song
- How to develop an idea so you aren't just mashing together unrelated ideas
- How to develop the mindset of a working songwriter and defeat perfectionism and impostor syndrome
- How to tell a story with dynamics, layers, lyrics, and growth throughout your song
- How to know when the song is done.
💥 What You'll Be Able To Do After Completing
SONG FINISHER
✅ Start any song with confidence
✅ Know where to go next when you’re stuck
✅ Build songs with powerful emotional arcs
✅ Write parts that belong together and feel like a story
✅ Finish more songs than you ever thought possible
And once you start finishing songs?
You can record them. Release them. Share them. Build a catalog. Build a career.
Or just feel the satisfaction of actually being a songwriter instead of just wanting to be one.
🧠 The Real Problem Isn’t Inspiration — It’s Execution.
Most musicians never finish their songs because they’re stuck chasing the high of inspiration.
But inspiration fades. And when it does? The professionals get to work.
This course is about that work.
You’ll learn how to:
Take one riff or idea and build an entire song around it
Use storytelling, dynamics, and variation to create tension and release
Make decisions quickly so you don’t get stuck
Write all the parts—verse, chorus, bridge, transitions, intros, outros, dynamics, harmonies
And most importantly... call it DONE

Think about how great it will feel to have full songs you can play.
You want to be a musician? Play in a band? Record albums? Tour the world?
It all starts with songs.
You can't do any of those things without songs.
Seems obvious, but only 1-2% of musicians ever write a whole song.
So the dream is forever out of reach - for them.
But you're here today because you're not going down like that - you've made up your mind to not let the music die inside you!
So what are you waiting for? Don't let another day, month, year go by while your ideas rot in a folder on your hard drive, or your voice memos.
Don't let something so simple stop you - take back your music career today!
🎤 You can’t release a song that isn’t finished.
You don’t need more plugins. You don’t need a better guitar.
You just need to learn how to finish what you started.
Let's get to work.
