Chord progressions are incredibly important to a great song. They support your song and contribute to its mood in a way that reflects the meaning of your lyrics. You can have the most profound lyrics ever written, but if they’re floating over chords that don't support what your words mean, your songs aren't going to make much sense to your listeners.

So I have to ask… When it comes to your songs: 

If not, you probably just need to know the specific elements that most great chord progressions have in common. After all, those elements are what’s making them appealing to listeners.

The great part is you can incorporate these elements into your music without compromising yourself as an artist. You might be afraid that if you learn or apply certain techniques to your chords, your songs will be too cookie cutter, but you don’t have to worry about that. There are plenty of approaches you can use that will make your chord progressions better, without forcing them into a sound you’re not interested in.

You’ll keep all your creativity, without becoming a “cookie cutter” artist. By taking certain approaches to how you write your chord progressions, you can greatly increase the chance of getting your listeners to want to hear them.

For no apparent reason, I used to think I was the greatest songwriter around when I first started writing songs (I definitely wasn’t, as you’ll find out in a second). So one day I decided I’d stroke my ego and submit one of my songs for a professional review to see all the "great things" that would be said about it. Haaa... wow, was I wrong! My song got TORN APART in that review.

I wanted to find out if it was just a fluke, so I submitted a few more songs for review, with the same brutal results. Those reviews were stomping all over my hard work and creativity, so they were tough to swallow!

But looking back on it, those reviews were deservedly bad. My music wasn’t innovative, like I wanted it to be. Instead, my music needed a LOT of work to make an impact on listeners.

One of the things that appeared as a theme in those early reviews was that my chord progressions were all over the place. I had one song that went from rock, to funk, to jazz all in the same song! I thought it was great because it was original, but needless to say my listeners had no idea where I was taking them with that kind of music. I was trying to innovate before I knew anything about what makes a song successful.

Then I thought about all of my favorite songs by artists I love and how coherent their chord progressions were. I realized one of the things that kept coming up in so many quality hit songs, is the support of a strong chord progression. The hit songs I loved weren’t anything like my own crazy, random songs. I needed to understand what the best songs were doing, if I wanted to write great chord progressions myself.

Before that, I didn’t realize that if you want to innovate it’s best to know the methods that have worked again and again in other successful songs. THEN you can use them to make your song great, or you can creatively stray from those same ideas to make your chords innovative. Either way, you win. But you have to know what those concepts are first.

With that realization, I decided to build a solid songwriting education for myself and make it my mission to know what makes songs listeners want to hear. I read books, and went to seminars and workshops given by the best and most accomplished songwriting teachers around. I learned all the best tips, tricks and techniques there are. Some of what I learned worked and some didn’t. But the stuff that worked, worked incredibly well.

As I started to learn more and more about crafting great songs, I developed the ability to see what made successful songs work so well, while other songs didn’t. It became almost instantaneous when I listened to a new song.

I ended up analyzing a ton of hit songs for articles on my own website and for other great songwriting websites, like USA Songwriting Competition’s Blog and CD Baby’s Do It Yourself Musician’s Blog. I’ve even had my writings appear as examples in the book Songwriting Without Boundaries, by Pat Pattison, who’s an acclaimed Lyric Writing Professor at Berklee College of Music.

Once I noticed I could see songs in this way, I realized I’d have to put these ideas into a course to be able to give other songwriters the ability to clearly see what can make their songs work, while sparing them information that doesn’t work. Not to mention saving them time too.

And that’s what I’ve done. There are very specific concepts you can apply to your chord progressions to make them interesting AND innovative. I’ve compiled the best of these ideas into an online video course called How to Write Songs That Sell: The Chord Progressions Module.

How to Write Songs That Sell: The Chord Progressions Module is going to save you a LOT of trial and error when it comes to writing incredibly effective chords your fans will love.

This course will teach you two methods for writing chord progressions. The first method is called the Find Inspiration Method, where you’ll learn how to specifically draw inspiration and get ideas from other songs, and turn them into songs that are completely your own. You’ll be able to dismember a current chord progression, examine the parts, change them and then put them back together to create a whole new song of your own. You’ll never understand an existing chord progression (or your own) so well as when you take this approach.

The second method you’ll learn is the Do It Yourself Method, where you won’t be relying on other songs at all. It’ll show you how to create chord progressions people want to hear completely from your own brain.

If you decide to combine parts of these two methods together, you’ll see great results. Great artists are always looking to other artists for ideas, while at the same time innovating from their own minds. If you combine the two methods, you have a great opportunity to do that yourself.

How to Write Songs That Sell: The Chord Progressions Module is a comprehensive program that walks you through all the pieces you need for writing chords people want to hear, so you could drastically improve your progressions in just days.

Every time I've taken an online course, I’ve found the best way to learn is to start by watching videos so I can have the concepts shown to me and easily explained.

Then if I need to revisit one of the ideas or concepts, I’ve always found it helpful to have a transcript, since it makes those concepts really easy to find when I need to reference a specific one.

I also like the idea of having the audio of what’s in the videos, since audio lets you absorb the content of the course anytime and anywhere you want. Plus, the audio format makes it easy to listen to the content of the course several times, getting it ingrained in your brain so you hardly even have to think about what to do.

Since great artists frequently reference other artists they’re inspired by and they also innovate from their own minds, the Chord Progressions Module is broken up into 2 different methods, as I mentioned earlier:

To give you an idea of the depth of this program, let's take a look at what you'll find inside.

The Chord Progressions Module will show you how to come up with chord progressions that work for your overall song idea. It covers:

After going through How to Write Songs That Sell: The Chord Progressions Module, you'll be armed with everything needed to come up with interesting and original chord progressions that reflect your song’s big idea, at will. And you don't even have to know how to read music to make it happen.

The Chord and Melody Writing Cheat Sheet

It even gives you the guitar tablature for each of those scales to make it easier for you to figure out your melodies if you're a guitar player.

And if it sounds like all these charts are overwhelming, don't worry -- I show you exactly how to use them in the How to Write Songs That Sell course. Once you start writing with these charts, you'll never know how you wrote without them.

At this point, I'd like to let you quickly hear what some of the other people who have already gone through the course have said about it.
