Lots to get to!

First, my new video is a demonstration and tutorial on how I like to approach composing and songwriting when all I have is an "old generic chord progression". That entire exhibition is featured here, and I am VERY happy with how things turned out!

I've attached a LOT of files below that you may find helpful. My samples here can be used for any purpose you like, you don't need to contact me for permission unless you're doing something businessey with it.

The holidays are officially here, and I'd like to give you all what I can. I know many of you have signed up for my Theory and Songwriting course but if you haven't, I can provide you a Half Off Discount by using the coupon code PATREON.

Sorry for not doing a Q+A in a while! When I'm in video-making-mode, it's hard for me to make time for nearly anything else. This video specifically took a ton of hard work. Fortunately for me, the vast majority of it was really fun. Working with David Bruce was an absolute pleasure and his contributions make this video stand out a notch above many of my others. His video isn't quite done yet so I'm holding off on posting this publicly. Until then, it's just for you all but please stay tuned to his channel so you can see how he did it!

Once Christmas is over, I'll be quick to jump on here for some Q+A live streams. Until then, I hope you have a great holiday! Go learn greensleeves, it's a great song and can be arranged a billion different ways. It's also a great piece to anaylze from a theory perspective - plus, it's easy!

SEE YOU SOON AND THANK YOU ALL FOR AN AMAZING 2021. I COULD NOT HAVE DONE THIS WITHOUT YOUR HELP!!!!!!!!!!
