When I first started playing guitar, I avoided learning music theory. Eventually, the frustration of writing horrible songs caused me to breakdown. I needed to figure our a way to make the sounds in my head real! One day 20 years ago, I figured it out 👇
1. Composers Must Know This
Every wondered what makes something sound evil, bittersweet, triumphant or full of sorrow? In my new course above, I talk about the #1 most powerful tool every artist can use to make people FEEL something. My life changed forever when I learned this simple idea. It's a trick my theory professor taught me back in music school 20 years ago. It's kinda like magic to be honest. It's called modal interchange. Let me explain below
2. The Big Idea
Ancient civilizations developed an idea called the "music of the spheres." This concept states mathematical ratios between the heavenly bodies produces a tonal resonance. Could it be the universe is conducting a planetary orchestra in outer space? In String Theory, physicists say the fundamental particles of matter are tiny, vibrating strings. In other words, music is life! Modal Interchange harness the power of the universe with one simple exercise
3. The Composer's Exercise
I'm sure you know what to practice to improve your guitar playing. There's tons of exercises on sweeping and tapping. But how do you practice composition and creativity? You gotta try this. Turn out all the lights and grab your guitar. Play a drone on youtube and just listen for 3 minutes. Then play some scales and chords over the drone. Try to play things that express specific emotions. Strum a chord that sounds angry, serenade yourself with a lick of sadness. By changing chords and scales over a fixed root, you're using the concept of modal interchange. This is the #1 thing I use to explore musical moods and generate material for later development. Even if I'm not feeling creative at the time, something magical happens when I begin this sacred ritual. As if the power of the musical gods possess my soul!
⭐️Stay tuned for the release of Composing With Music Theory Part 2 coming Monday!
