The Workshop - For All Skill Levels
The Emotional Value of Chords - There is a chord associated with each of the seven notes of a major scale. When played in context, each chord evokes a certain emotional response from the listener. Learning these chordal relationships will open your ears to the chord progressions to millions of songs. This is the first step to playing by ear. The lesson is a fun, interactive approach to learning how all songs work. Knowledge of finger positions for C, dm, em, F, G, am helpful. Followed by play-along practicing what you've learned in the workshop.
