If you have any questions on this lesson, post them here in this thread. In the meantime, expect another post from me soon where I do some live composing and test out my internet connection :D

Hmmm... What if you listen to Dear Prudence by the Beatles? Does it sound like the same D chord 3x in a row to you? It is... but the bass descends chromatically as well so it's a good example of the same progression. it might just be the voicings I'm using too - try it out on your piano see how it feels. They are all inverted variations of the tonic chord though so I can understand how your ear will feel it all like the same chord (it's I - Imaj7 - I7 )

2025-04-24 20:59:12 +0000 UTCI have to be honest. The I chords with half step descents in all of the examples sound identical. For instance in your last example, I really didn't hear any difference between A - A/G# - A/G. They all just sounded like an A major played three times. :-(

2025-04-17 15:44:10 +0000 UTCI found an error in the pdf. In the Chromatic Lament in Minor section you denote the 5 in A as A. Thought you'd like to know. On that note I must say I really like the looser, "not perfect" approach to these videos. It, almost, make you feel humanπ Keep it real! βοΈβοΈ
