Hi Bleez! This is your personal thread for the Gab's Army! As you are already working with Cosmin as a mentor we decided (after some PM messages) that we will only use this thread for posting the lessons that you are working on to give you feedback and to ask me question regarding anything you need.

Hi Bleez! I love the main riff and feeling of this tune! It sounds killer and couldn't avoid singing melodic ideas over it! I think that it needs in any moment (maybe after all these sections, in the part C) to move to another chord like the Vi chord, then move to Vii and finally get back to I. That's one example, what it needs is some harmonic movement since the whole thing keeps around the root. Does it make sense?

actually, I dont really understand the theory of chord progressions. I really need to learn this. I tried looking at chord progression charts which said in C the VI chord is Ab and the VII chord is Bb...... I dont know if that is correct. I'd like to try your suggestion, where do you hear the progression coming in, you mentioned after the C part, would that be before the chorus at 1:47? Hi mate, chord progressions and tonalities come from scales. If you harmonize in thirds any scale you will get the 7 chords that belong to that tonality. The number of the chord is the same than the grade of that tone in the scale... if we are in the key of A minor, A will be the I chord, and D will be the IV chord. Each of these chords will be major, minor or diminished depending on the relationship between the thirds that you added to harmonize it. There is a lot of theory about chords functions, progressions, modulations and so but you can do a lot just knowing which chords belong to a tonality and analysing your favourite songs to know how the composers use to combine these chords. The chord that I think that could be added there can appear wherever you feel it fits... just follow the song, sing the melody that you were planning and try it after each part. -------------------- My lessons
