Listen "Smooth Chord Changes"
Episode Synopsis
If your chord changes sound disjointed, you probably need to use inversions. That's just the fancy word for re-ordering the notes of a chord. For example, Am can be A C E, or C E A, or E A C. So, if your progression is jumping around from one chord to the next, re-order some of the notes to smooth the changes.Ray & Kate :)PS: For more on this hack and others, read our Songwriting & Producing PDF.
