In this video, I show you how to keep a chord progression interesting over the course of an entire track. More than that, in fact….how you can use that ONE chord progression to structure your entire arrangement very, very quickly.
Most videos show you HOW to write a chord progressions, without showing you this key arrangement skill. You can have the best chord progression in the world, but then you need to know how to use it through out your track without it getting boring or repetitive. In this chord progression / arrangement tutorial, I combine those two skills into one easy hack for getting out of an 8 bar loop and to a full arrangement as quickly as possible.
I also show when you might want to use more than one chord progression, and how to do it.
