3 Levels of Chords - From Basic Chords to Amazing Chord Progressions in Ableton Live

Scales, intervals, triads, chord inversions, sustained chords, seventh chords, sub chords can all sound really confusing, and writing chord progressions can seem like a dark art. In this video I explain EXACTLY what those terms mean ≠ and how to use them to create amazing chord progressions every time you open the DAW.

Man just discovered you channel.

I litterally spent 3hours looking at your videos on production, on mixing etc....

Really really well done contente!
Mature approache, great teaching skills to share liquid gold to artists, producers and engineers in the most easy going way possible.

A good teacher is the one that is able to explain complexe concepts to the most novice person ( able to dumb it down as some say), YET without losing the most crutial details out.

You sir have reached a stage over the years of doing your videos where you have gained so much confidence that you truely are a great teacher, BRAVO and keep it up maestro !

Hope to spend more time checking your other videos and also to see new ones pop out.

Cheers mate,
DAM

Thank you for all the hard work. Ive been producing for 20 years now, but Im the tech guy/engineer/sound designer. Over covid I really understood that I needed to learn theory and play piano. Your content here just fllled in a lot of blanks for me and I appreciate your effort. Without producers and music technicians like you I don;t think Id be moving so fast to realizing myself as a true musician. Big up.

Will this was a great video on building chords easy, if you had humanised the velocities and had given the chords some shuffle with the note positions these would have sounded even more epic! Thanks always your content is always on point

[papajohn]

This is the best video on chords I've come across so far. Incredibly well explained; thank you so much!

Recently discovered this channel - great content. Will definitely be spicing up my chord progressions with these tips. Hopefully this technique will elevate the disco song I'm working on.

[nkosingiphilenkosi]

I started out with basic major and minor chords, then I would revoice them, I didn't like the sound of the 7ths as they make the chords sound more jazzy, then I discovered there is a chord called sus 4, and I like it a lot

[paulsmith]

Hi Will, this is a great tutorial and you really are a superb teacher, you make complex subjects easy to understand. I have learnt so much from your weekly tutorials over the course of the last two years, thank you!
