Chord progressions are the canvas on which musicians paint their masterpieces, and it’s a canvas which is a piece of art in itself. A chord progression can be subtle and in the background or it can be blatant and up front; it can be simple and catchy, or it can be technical and complex, it can stay in one key or it can change like the seasons.

Daniel - YouTube has a lot of great stuff on Modes.. Try it out. Bars and honkey tonks are little resturants that serve alcholic drinks that are favored by local residents. by lynnylouwho Apr 22
