💬 Lesson Description

I'm in the middle of a songwriting project that I've wanted to do for a long time.

I’ve been working on a song that uses open strings throughout the chord progressions.

These extra notes add a lot of texture, color, and harmonic interest.

The chord names also sound very advanced as a result.

In this lesson, I analyze one of my songs and figure out what the proper chord names are.

I think it’s a fruitful exploration if you're interested in theory, chord analysis, or songwriting inspiration.

I hope you enjoy this lesson and find it beneficial.

Let me know what you think in the comments.

Thanks! :)
