Hey! I am Mark Black and welcome to expertvillage.com
and we are going to be talking about advanced
theory in song writing. Then we talked about
chords and what we are trying to say primarily
the big overall picture is that the chords
you are playing are the language that the
brain is not getting; I guess you could say
the heart is getting. The ear hears a song
and you do not have the slightest idea but
if I go, you automatically pick up a meaning
to that. You automatically say, you know I
assume he is fixing to rock out, I assume
he is fixing to tell me something tough and
cool because the music sounds that way. So
the bottom line on all that spill about the
chords and the harmony is that the language
of your chords needs to agree with the impact
of every song. Then we talked about we can
add notes to the chords, we can make a major
7, major 2, we can do that with any of the
types of chords but then we can also put the
same chord in a different position that is
it can be a normative chord, one of the regular
parts of the scale of the key we are in or
it can be two different kinds of non-normative
chord, which in turn sounds unusual and again
depending on the language what we are trying
to say about the song, it would be strange
or very normal depending on what we want to
say. But just trying to talk about tools in
your tool belt to be able to make the song
fit, the meaning that you have, unusual, normal,
comfortable, nerve racking, whatever but using
those chord tools to make that happen. Okay,
so thanks for coming to expertvillage.com,
we talked about advanced theory regarding
song writing and I am Mark Black for Promethean
Studios and thanks for being here.
