✨ What You’ll Learn
When you use a typical chord progression it is like a plot of a movie, beginning middle and end, when you use just two chords you can create the feeling of a cinematic shot of the main character. That is what this course is all about, going beyond the predictable and formulaic cliches that everyone uses to make Chords that Vibe.
Instead of thinking like a screenwriter — where chords are plot points — you’ll think like a cinematographer, using harmony to create texture, color, and emotional tone.
You’ll learn how to:
- Create chords that vibe — harmonies that instantly set a mood and carry emotional weight.
- Use the Minor 11 chord as the foundation of modern, colorful harmony.
- Build extended chords from two triads, opening up vivid harmonic color.
- Explore the minor hexatonic scale as a palette for melodies and bass lines.
- Master voicing design — how the order and spacing of notes shape the entire feel.
- Move progressions independently of key or tonality (e.g., C minor 11 → D minor 11) to create floating, hypnotic motion.
🎧 Why It Works
Harmony is perhaps one of the most multifaceted and complicated aspects of music theory. People typically find themselves on one of two sides of it. They prefer not to dive into the world of music theory and instead use their gut, their intuition, and their ear to find the harmonies they seek. This approach can yield amazing results but quickly leads to pure guesswork and inconsistent results. On the other side, a musician will embrace theory and intellectually understand the theory of harmony while losing the appreciation for the way that a chord can be tastiest when simple and to the point.
Chords That Vibe will bring you to the perfect sweet spot between these two sides — showing you how to create chords that are colorful and vivid without getting lost in the labyrinth of music theory.
