Song writing tutorial series every Sunday this May

Today we are going to look at and examine the chord progressions that we did from last week on the Ukulele and four different techniques that I use to add some spice and flavor to my chord progressions. 

The first method we will look at how to use the major scale to connect chords to make cool runs and fills connecting the chords.

The second idea is how to move barre chords, and the power that lies in understanding how to identify the root of a chord shape and move it.

The third lesson we are going to be taking a long look at how to take chords, analyze the notes, and create fills and riff ideas with something called chord fragments, or just pieces of a chord.

The last step is the classic fill spot, or how to use the major pentatnoic scale to add fills and life to otherwise static chord progressions. 

Make sure you follow us along this song writing journey every single Sunday for the entire month of may, put your chord progressions on youtube and tag me @tenthumbspro so I can see your progress!

At the end we are going to have an Ukulele give away with the #TenThumbsSongContest and the winner will receive an Ukulele from me!
