Description: My Theory + Songwriting Course: bit.ly/3Ej44Cz Mp3's + PDF at my Patreon: patreon.com/signalsmusicstudio David Bruce- Composing A Melody over a Chord Progression youtu.be/jA7gdz56LtY The Andalusian Cadence is an old fashioned chord progression that can be thought of as mainly deriving from the Minor Key (aeolian mode) but also includes the dominant chord. It's a killer progression, you've heard it in songs like Runaway by Del Shannon and Sultans of Swing by Dire Straits, as well as a million other songs. This time, we're transforming into many different styles, and along the way, hopefully you pick up some composing tricks, music theory hacks, or general song writing inspiration. These are the links I reference in this video. If you were confused something in this video, chances are it is explained in one of the following vids. 12tone- Andalusian Cadence: youtu.be/MSjVTZ_l9XA David Bruce- The mystery at the Heart of Flamenco youtu.be/XYgTkW4WK80 David Bruce- Composing A Melody over a Chord Progression youtu.be/jA7gdz56LtY Writing Progressions in Minor Keys youtu.be/j-j4g0ktPGw Harmonic Minor Series youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTR7Cy9Sv2845ykqmNpmeGFq_v9yKZ_3A Suspended Chords youtu.be/qu49nYaBfdM Powerchords youtu.be/dbhF2wnnT7M Pedal Tones + Drones youtu.be/5E4Nsa6RL9I A quick note- there's some sloppy guitar playing in here. I absolutely have the production skills to elminate those mistakes (and probably would if these songs were to be released on an album) but I think it's important for you all to see/hear those mistakes! Also the intro has many inversions and chord modifcations. I simplified the numerals. One more thing I want to point out- the Em scale over B can sound fine if you play it fast enough - pretty much anything is passable if you play it quickly. But you really can't build real harmonies off that V chord if you're using the b7 tone, and the more time your ear has to hear the dissonance, the worse it will sound! I use Ableton Live 10 and Reason 10 (via rewire) together to produce. A giant thank you to my Patreon supporters. They're the reason I'm able to offer a professional rhythm course at a name-your-own-price model.
