Understanding chord progressions can be a game changer, not only for songwriters, but for anyone interested in understanding how they listen to music. However it's especially crucial for songwriters to understand chord progression theory and how tension and release work with "musical gravity" (aka tonal gravity). The best chord progressions all exhibit these qualities. Tension and resolution are crucial to writing good chord progressions, knowing how to make chord progressions, and honestly just how to write music or how to write a song on guitar. In today’s video we go over these concepts and show how these affect you as a listener. Knowing music theory makes the difference between being a musician and someone who "just plays some songs" on guitar. Music theory can be EASY to understand, and the impact it will have on your musicianship is limitless. Today we look at “your brain on music”.
