Awesome work man! I've only recently started looking into this sort of thing, and one little tip that I found is making use of a suspended note that quickly resolves to a third (nothing stopping you applying the same concept to the other notes I'm sure!) when playing a chord. For example, if you're going to play a C major, start with a Csus2 or Csus4, then move the suspended note (D or F in this case) back to the E. Gives a little mini tension/resolution in a similar way to the passing notes/chords. Of course, it's not something you're going to want to use all the time, but useful for a little bit of sparkle on top. Thanks again for the tips!
Thank you so much Mick i’m glad to hear you enjoyed the video! Using sus chords to bring in some extra tension to a song is such a great tip! I remember when I first learned that sus chords were mainly used to add that extra tension and I could not stop using them! (took me embarrassingly long grasp even the simplest forms of music theory haha) I love using sus chords when i’m writing softer piano pieces, such a great way to add some extra tension to a song and really makes the resolution after lands super hard, love using them especially when i’m trying to write a nice ending to a piece!
Man I dont even make music, really I like your videos, they help me get a deeper knowledge on why I like the songs I like
This means so much to me man thank you, i’m glad the videos have been helping you get a better understanding of the songs you like :-)
