One of the most common questions I get when I'm teaching is students asking for new chord ideas. They feel stuck in the same old progressions over and over and want to try something new.
Here is ONE idea - using a minor7b5 chord to set up the following chord.
This is just ONE option and of course, just ONE WAY of using this chord - there are many many others. But rather than dump 45 different ideas on you, I thought it would be more actionable to give you one, so you can go and try it right now!
In the second half, I show you a more advanced way you can take the same idea and information and use it to write a song. Its all connected!!
I hope you enjoy it and perhaps this opens your eyes and ears to something new to try.
Cheers!
Dylan
