Tonight's questions are great as usual, but I expect I'll be able to wrap them up quickly. That means if you're around for the end of the livestream you can answer a question in the chat (if you're logged into YouTube).

HELLO FROM THE OTHER SIDE!
You might encounter a chord progression that looks like i - VII, and if you parse it as such, you might be in for a bad time. It's an incredible pair of chords though, and I really things its worth exploring them to see where it takes us and what we can learn from...

Hey everyone, here's a really fun demonstration of composing techniques in 12/8. We're writing with just a bunch of E's, and the results are amazing IMO! Hopefully this video gives you some ideas on how to turn your own riffs into something more special.

It took me a long time to realize what the 6 actually means when dealing with chords. Later on I realize that "6 chords" mean completely different things depending on who you ask! This video aims to clear up that confusion to prevent you from being as puzzled as I was. Make sure to check th...

Hey everyone! Here's a lesson that should give you some examples of how you'll actually see and hear the modes being used in popular music.

I hope you're all able to relax and enjoy this holiday. Perhaps kick it off with this quick lesson on reharmonization? It's a fun topic, but pretty difficult in practice without a lot of chord knowledge.
