Writing an Adventurous/Folksy Melody + Progression in Dorian
Added 2023-10-18 16:53:32 +0000 UTCIf you've ever played an RPG or fantasy video game, you might LOVE this lesson - it's a fun one! I'll be posting this to the public in a few weeks to help remind the general public that I'm still alive, but you all get to see it now.

The example in this lesson will be part of my next Signals video, which I expect to go live at the beginning of November and will coincide with the release of my new book, the Chord Progression Codex. I'm attaching the mp3 of the short piece for you to use however you like :)
I apologize for not live-streaming my process for composing! Several of you have asked for more live composition streams and I've failed to deliver. However, this Sunday (October 22) I'll be going live in the evening to either compose a nu-metal song that modulates between relative Phrygian and Aeolian, or create a full-band groove on a single chord vamp - the chat will decide!
In case you didn't hear, my new 400+ page book on chords will be available in the coming weeks. It's 59.99 plus shipping for the general public, but you'll all get a code to buy it for a flat fee of roughly $35 and also get free shipping. The digital version (downloadable PDF or interactive online access) will be $35 for the public, but you'll all recieve a link to pay any price you like.
If you have any questions or comments on this lesson, please ask them here on Patreon and I'm happy to answer. Hope to see you Sunday!

I just joined you! I was looking for some training in composition and theory, and landed here by chance. I'm grateful for your sharing of this knowledge! I joined Patreon at the lowest level, and I feel guilty that I can't give more right now, but when my finances improve, I will give a bigger monthly contribution. Your lessons here are fantastic!
