It's fun to talk about s p i c y voicings and perplexing harmonies, but most music out there stays pretty simple in the chord department. Even simple chord progressions need to follow some underlying logic for what works and what doesn't, and in this video I present a way of analyzing harmony that's simple, but that I find helpful. Each example was taken from a game requested by one of my highest tier Patrons, whom I can't thank enough for their generosity and support!
