  • In this video, you'll learn the science behind creating chord progressions that sound professional and make sense to the listener. You'll discover how the circle of fifths, tritone resolutions, and tendency tones all work together to create a sense of anticipation and satisfaction. Plus, you'll learn how to analyze chord progressions and build your own stunning chord patterns, just like the pros.

    Excellent lesson! My wife likes to make up songs, and when she gets to the final V7, she stops and walks away just to mess w me. And I'm like "resolve it! RESOLVE!!!" 😂

      That’s called spousal abuse! 😂 I remember in college our music professor told us someone did that to either Bach or Beethoven after they went to bed, and the composer was so rattled he had to get up out of bed, go to the piano, and hit that final tonic!

    I never hear people talk about the functions of individual chord tones in a larger context like this! This is a great way for newcomers to learn but also for existing musician to fill the gaps left behind by too many teachers.

      JESUS CHRIST died for you on a cross for our sins. 3 days after his death he resurrected and is The TRUE LIVING GOD. In a prayer repent from your sins and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and also ask for the HOLY SPIRIT to come into you in that same prayer as well. Have FAITH in CHRIST. You could come to Jesus Christ as you are, but once you accept Him, you have to become new, change, and be born again, and turn away from all wicked ways. Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. God Bless You. JESUS CHRIST IS COMING BACK SOON.

    I really appreciate the form(at) you created here. I've been over this material (40yo gigging drummer who plays keyboard+guitar for fun) but this made it much more clear and intuitive.
    It's interesting how we instinctively use these tactics when we speak in any language. Resolutions, tendency notes, anticipation galore, heh.
    Thanks for making!
