7 WAYS TO CHANGE KEY

In this video, I discuss 7 ways you can modulate to a new key in a song. I use musical examples from the Beatles, Frank Sinatra, Tom Waits, and Lou Reed to demonstrate.
Oh, and sorry for the mediocre singing. I'll get better, I promise.

Thank you so much! It is my first time someone has taught me this! I never knew there's this many interesting ways of key changing!
And you're right at your introduction that it does makes the song more interesting and unpredictable! Your examples with the Beatles songs is on the spot, as I often do hear those key changes!

A Day in the Life by The Beatles uses chain modulation to get from the bridge back to the chorus

[@conorkruegerguitar]

Oh yeah, just checked it out. Thanks! The Beatles do have an example for everything.
