There are many elements of music you can be drawn to.
- Melody
- Rhythm
- Bass
- Chord Progressions
- Polyphony (fancy speak for multiple melodies going at once)
- Timbre
- And a lot more…
I was the odd kid who would rewind the same 10 seconds of a piece (dozens of times in a row) to hear a chord progression that resonated with me. Whether it was classical, jazz, or pop.
At least, I thought I was odd at the time. But as I’ve gotten older and become more enamored with simplicity, I think it’s okay.
I would much rather hear a cool chord progression on a simple tune than a not-so-cool chord progression on a virtuosic piano piece.
That’s me.
What’s you?
Im that odd kid that grew into an odd adult who can listen to a song over and over just to hear the 3sec cool part!! Now that I’m back into piano, I love playing a cool part over and over.
