Key of D. 174 BPM, 6/8 time.

One of the best ways to infuse some mystery or tension is to shift between major and minor. We don't hear this a lot in western or pop music. When we do, it's typically the 4 chord changing to a 4 minor.

This is admittedly a more "cinematic" technique... and it's so effective.

This lesson goes further by using the bass note to effect the change. By doing this, we get a really interesting sound while at the same time keeping it easy to play.

"MajorMinor" is part of the Study Series, a subset of lessons found in the main course.

Vignettes is by far the most musical piano course available today. If you are an artist, producer, writer, or player, Vignettes will make you better. We've taken the risk away by offering 5 days free inside the course. Use it as much as you like, download the practice tracks, and start becoming better.
