  • @LouisEnright
    @LouisEnright 6 лет назад

    I have a few issues about this video:
    1. You didn't invert the chords so they actually made melodic sense- playing them all in root position creates a disjointed feel, and inverting some of them so that they're closer to each other.
    2. The song is Canon in D but it only has those first 3 chords- it doesn't use the exact same progression and it also goes on for 8 bars instead of 4.
