The higher we go with odd time signatures, the rarer they become, but, although uncommon, 17/8 time is still used to great effect in many pieces of music.

The minor version of the 4 chord in the major key really can stir up some emotions. It's almost like a classic songwriting trick to pull at those heartstrings... resolve via the minor 4!

Radiohead are no strangers to odd time signatures, modes and unusual song structure, but there is one song in their back catalogue that pushed the bands musicality to the limit, Sail To The Moon 🌙

15/8 can be treated as an odd time signature, or as a compound meter, but however you use it, a song in 15 will always have an uncanny, unusual sound to it.

The chord progression of I II IV I appears often enough in Beatle-penned songs that I think of it very much as a "Beatlish" chord progression. This bright string of major chords offers a really intriguing blend of tonalities and has been put to work by many great songwriters.

You may have noticed on guitar chord websites or the occasional music text book, that in some European countries they have an "H" note! The origin and purpose of this H note is quite curious and is yet another example of how our modern music theory system is the product of over a millennium of uncoordinated change and development.

Chromatic mediants are a great way to add a sense of wonder and intrigue into your music, making them a common choice in film music. What I find most interesting about them though is how the definition of "chromatic mediant" is not only debatable, but how the concept overlaps with some other music theory ideas, making for quite a confusing topic!

Electric pianos, like the Fender Rhodes, Hohner Pianet or the Wurlitzer, are not synths or digital keyboards. They produce sound like an acoustic piano would, with a hammer, but rather than striking a string, the hammer strikes a tuned piece of metal. That sound is then picked up and sent to an amp in a similar way as an electric guitar.
Thanks to Devon Yesberger for helping me identify the original e. piano used on some of these tracks instagram.com/yesbergerplease 🙏

The famous four chords, the "axis" progression, the classic and infamous pop song chord progression. It is considered utterly ubiquitous but when did songwriters actually start using it, and has it now finally fallen out of style?
📌 SMALL REVISION: 8:08 "Treacherous" by Taylor Swift doesn't actually use the Axis progression, my mistake! However, I've now found two more Taylor song that I had missed that DO use the Axis progression... "Christmas Must Be Something More" and "Crazier", so Taylor has actually used the progression at least 20 times! 😅😅
📌 I was going to put the list of all of the songs I gathered here in the description but it actually exceeds the character limit, so I've put it on this public Patreon post: patreon.com/posts/74410753

Most songs naturally breakdown into sets of either 16, 8 or 4 bars. However music certainly doesn't have to do this and many songs instead feature phrases and sections of irregular numbers of bars.

Suspended chords, usually shortened to just "sus", are when the third of the chord is replaced by either the 4th or 2nd degree of the chord, introducing a "open" or "hanging" sound to the chord.

What chord is it if we just play the open strings of a standard tuned guitar? That's a question that many of my guitar students have asked me over the years. So today I am not only going to answer that question, but I'm going to put this open string guitar chord to use in an actual song.
