Can u make a video on structure on the song after wards thx .

[One_Man_Bandd]

i think i understand a lil bit, but still a little bit confused on why it’s called a 4/1 chord progression, or other chord progressions in general. like how would know, for example, to count down 5 semitones


jus need some clarification

[DarthOreo]

[mateuszkaczmarczyk]
