This interactive workshop will explore the importance and expressive power of four "simple" chords in songwriting. Drawing on famous musical examples, we'll examine these "big four" chords - individually, and as part of common progressions. We'll explore how songwriters can employ these chords effectively by skillfully integrating them with other song elements such as melody, structure, harmonic rhythm and lyrics. Participants will deepen their understanding of some classic tunes and gain insight into how they might use the big four chords to their fullest potential in creating their own songs.
