In the current songwriting video tutorial we will take a look at how a chord progression can be changed – slightly or substantially – by varying the amount of time you play each chord. For example, a simple F G Am progression can be made to sound quite different depending on how much time you play the F, G and Am chords, even if you keep the total time of the progression fixed.

this is exactly what I've been looking for
Thank you very much
Ur lesson help me something to do.
I was able to compose and play music all ofmy life (I'm only 16 but still) without knowing all these things, I just kinda realized it by myself… Who knew you actually have rules… I just went for what sounded good to me lol
so this is a 4 5 6 progression ?
I've seen cases where substitutions get carried away lol. with like 12 different chords in the same bar or something like that.
I'm looking forward to you teaching jazz playing ToT im stuck at jazz TT I dont know whether you listen to Japanese songs but their songs, those chord progression are incredibly hard…
Thank you, sir. So, is it safe to say that we can use passing chords or tones as we transition to the next chord in the progression?
I've played piano for a very long time. I love your videos there done very well and there not difficult to understand.. Things that I've done over he years I now understand the theory behind it thanks. Keep posting them and I'll keep watching them : good job.
Thanks, You're a trulymaster.
I'm echoing previous comments, this lesson is genuinely helpful :D)
I'd like to seek your advice sir. I play keyboard with transposed keys when it comes to sharp or flat chord songs most of the time. Is that okay? Or is it a bad habit?
By the way, I play by ear and can't read sheet music. Thank you.
Awesome trick! Thanks))
Those are great musical tips, something I can use right away.. Thanks !
I am learning to be a music composer and this lesson is great value!
I like this teaching , keep on teaching us
This is great! It's so simple, but it really does "spice up" your playing; thank you for the video.
