Three chord strategies for creating satisfying contrast and variation in the bridge section of your songs.
We first start by defining what a bridge is - then look at 3 chord-based (or harmonic) approaches, in increasing levels of harmonic complexity, for creating a sense of contrast, variation, and movement in the bridge section of your songs.
We look at songs by The Beatles and Bruno Major that put the concepts into context.

I’m 73 and I just discovered how fascinating music theory is. I’m a self taught musician and can’t read music. But the theory I understand. When I was in college other students said they were talking music theory. I wanted to but they said I had to be able to read music. I played bass in a band and on until I retired. Now I’m playing acoustic and electric guitars and really enjoying what I’ve learned about music theory. Too bad I’m not in Britain where I could take your class in college.

Through listening to lots of music i know where the bridge is and its effect on the song. This lesson has explained it very clearly what is happening with the cords and the theory behind it. I had a light bulb moment, thamk you for the lesson.

@J-Loe

If this doesn’t reference James Brown I’ll be let down.

@satchelm0uth

I drink too much red wine and watch music theory videos. Not sure what type of nerd that makes me...😅

So I’ve been listening to a lot of Steely Dan and their bridges seem so random and out of the blue. Can you please find one and explain how and why they may have made that choice. Just found your channel and really enjoy it. Cheers from Seattle

Maybe you should have stuck to the Beatles for the line cliches. They used it in a bunch of songs. I Me Mine , Something are one of many examples.

I've written a couple handful of songs, whether it be for personal enjoyment or to play with the band. But honestly these videos help a lot, I've taken classes on how to be a great instrumentalist but never took the time or saw the importance in learning song writing in conjunction with it.

Tyler created my love for bridges ngl

Just what I needed!

@cristiansosa1512 Год назад

Thank you so much! You explain it so simply and yet it's not a simple topic.

@ronmorey3475 Год назад

This was absolutely great! You are a wonderful teacher. Thank you!

I only discovered your channel this morning and I am already completely immersed in it. You, quite accidentally, make me feel quite clever. Despite passing 'O' level Music (British schooling, forty years ago - a very basic school-leaving exam) I did not know that what I was doing was modal that I have been using the mixolydian scale all these decades. I love the diagrams showing the fretboard. You are very generous, freely giving away all your knowledge. I look forward to learning more, especially on the lyrics side of things, which is where I always fail miserably. Many thanks.

Thank you so much for making this! The information you present is digestible and actionable. This is the first video I’m seeing from you, but it’s an instant subscribe. Can’t wait to watch more!

Thrilled to find you and your channel! I'm learning so much from you, already. Thanks for the absolute gold you pour into these videos, so very appreciated! And the song you're playing, "Last Call", is gorgeous.
