C-G-Am-F chord progression... the "Let It Be" verse progression, except that in that song, the F goes from an F6 to a regular F... ;)

C and G also share e minor? Is there a reason you don’t use that as a pivot chord

@WriteASong Жыл бұрын

Yes you're correct, I didn't deliberately miss it out in the examples. You can use it like any of the other pivot chords in your songs.

Keep up the great work! One slight correction though, around 4:57: it would be better just to refer to it as an authentic cadence, a perfect authentic cadence implies the V and I are in root position and the 1 is doubled in the I/i chord

Thanks for the comment, I'll consider this for future videos.

@@WriteASong your videos have given me some great ideas, especially ones like using sus chords and extensions, there's some material that covers these things on KZfaq but the way you present it just seemed to work for me!
