I think I actually love line cliches, I gravitate towards them alot everytime I play around after practicing my keys

[pretsangchipok]

I’ve been writing with this technique for a while without knowing what it’s called, thanks a lot man

[delicious_crepes]

record a random descending bass line and play around it with random voicings, you'll find endless beautiful opportunities there. descending bass has something primal and natural about it, everyone loves it

[kdhansome]

I just thought of this concept as a
Walking bass line. But never thought about keeping the he chords the same and have a traveling melody

[brenthinton]

I completely agree witheverything in this video except i would have to say that changing the voicing of the progression can be extremely useful as a transition. It is pretty common in metal, especially with songs that have clean/acoustic introductions.

That's actually a really beautiful sound. I will try to remember chromatic embellishment of static harmony!

[OscarP-nzit]

George Harrison used them in bunch of songs and it sounds wonderful each time. ❤

[davegibson]

Can’t wait to hear your fantastic song you write with this technique. Go!

This also happens in a part of "With arms wide open" (Creed).

[vilmer]

Amazing, more somgwriting shorts would be really great 😊

[comrade_Cappybara]

I don't think I'm technical enough to do this but still very cool

[toxckrosis]

Chromatic embellishment of static harmony keeping you big as hell

[zedcarr]

It's nice to see someone play the Stairway To Heaven chord sequence correctly. The fourth chord in the sequence is NOT D Maj, it's D/F#. Even the great Steve Vai made this error when I was watching a video of him with Dweezel Zappa. He was going through the exercise book that he wrote in when he was giving Dweezel guitar lessons, and the Stairway chords had the fourth chord as D Maj.

My Funny Valentine is the most famous example of the chromatic descent.

[antoforelle]

He made his hair for that 52 Week Guitar Player course advertisement 😂

[Hank-sl]

that stairway to Heaven tone is BEUTIFUL MAN

[alephpolveroso]

Another example is "Oye como va" by Santana

[justaneedlessboi]

Waterloo sunset has it too, just like many other songs obviously but I just thought I'd mention it since it a great song 😊

[WageSlavery]

The dancing harmony above the constant chord... It seems to bring more importance to the chord
