I love that Louis really committed to the “Lazy” song concept, even in his chord progression - here’s the whole song:

Abm - Ebm - Dbm - Gb

How to Play Chord Progressions

1. Start with Triads

Begin by playing the basic triads for each chord in your progression. A triad consists of three notes: the root, third, and fifth. For example:

C major triad: C - E - G

A minor triad: A - C - E

Triads are the building blocks of chord progressions and provide a solid foundation.

2. Add Bass Notes

To enhance the fullness of your chords, play a bass note with your left hand in the lower octaves. Typically, the root of the chord is used as the bass note, but you can experiment with other notes from the chord to add variety and depth.

3. Use Inversions

Rearrange the notes of your chord to create inversions, which can make transitions smoother and add interest to your progressions. For example:

Root position (C - E - G)

First inversion (E - G - C)

Second inversion (G - C - E)

Inversions help create more seamless connections between chords by minimizing the movement between notes.

4. Find Smooth Transitions

Aim for close combinations between chords. Look for shared or nearby notes to create smoother transitions. For example, when moving from C major to A minor, the note "E" is shared between the two chords, making the change feel natural.

5. Experiment with Dynamics

Play chords at different volumes and intensities to convey emotion. For instance, soft dynamics can make a progression feel gentle and reflective, while stronger dynamics add energy and drama.

6. Practice in Different Keys

To build versatility, practice your chord progressions in multiple keys. Start with easier keys, like C major, and gradually progress to keys with sharps and flats. This will improve your ability to adapt progressions to any musical context.

7. Combine Major and Minor Progressions

Mixing major and minor chords adds contrast and emotional depth to your music. For example, transitioning from a major chord to a minor chord can shift the mood and make your progression more dynamic.

Why does music theory gotta have hands.

They say "Feel it out" and "Get an instrument" all my instruments are at home mate! GAH.

But I need to understand Music theory, in the basics. For THE SCRIPT!!!!

Because I decided I don't wanna half ass that part.

I didn't half ass the drawing part, because I'm a Studio Art Major. So I shouldn't half ass the Music part just because I'm trash at it.

Curses.

If I didn't want the video to create more Splatoon Fan Idol music, I wouldn't be this strict on myself.

At least what I've done so far is crazy good. I managed to make the Inkling Singing Voice in Audacity, the most basic of hardware. So I must persevere. I have to.

SO PEOPLE CAN DO IT WITH ONLY A LAPTOP AND A DREAM!!!!!
