Live Stream | 21: OFFICE HOURS Q&A

Hi Everyone,

This was a fun stream! We talked about the order of chords in a key and how songs like Creep by Radiohead use chords outside the standard set that fits in the key. We then talk about the difference between Dom7 and Maj7 chords and how the chords in a key can all be converted to a set of 7 chords.

Then we went into how to make your solos sound more human by using dynamics, phrase length, and varying the beat you start your phrases.

After that we went into some exercises you can do to help build technique and speed.

Post your questions, homework, etc on the community forum post.

Well I learned something with those Major7 and dominant7 chords and also with the relatives, it's slowly seeping in. I probably have to rewatch it a few times but it's looking positive for me. Anecdote for the Radiohead - creep song: this was originally a song from Albert Hammond and yes the Hollies used it also. If you want to know the full story https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siN8f-JF8Gw Scott you love (Music) history, this is also for you ;-) On that channel you will find a lot of good things about a lot of songs :-)
