Practical songwriting theory for songwriters. Break out of your songwriting habits and develop new chord progressions.
Are you tired of using the same chords?
If so, you’re not the only one.
Songwriter after songwriter has told me they only know 2 or 3 chord progressions and they find themselves writing the same song over and over.
Songwriting can become frustrating when new ideas aren’t flowing.
In this course I’m going to help you break your songwriting muscle memory and start writing fresh.
We’re going to go over how professional songwriters put together chords. There are certain rules they follow. Once you understand the rules you can choose to use or break them.
We’ll use real life example to demonstrate how the 6 most used chords in popular music work and work together.
Every lecture builds on the next lecture and is easy to follow. By the end of this course, you’ll be able to take a song concept, and build a chord progressions that make sense.
If you love songwriting and you want to start writing songs outside of your comfort zone, this course is for you.
And so far the reviews have been great!
