About this episode

My debut album UNDER AN EMPTY SKY is out now on VINYL, CD, DOWNLOAD & STREAMING:

By its very nature, blues harmony does not fit into either the major scale or minor. The blues sound comes from the friction we get between those two scales, and this chord progression of I bIII IV captures that sound perfectly. If a style of music has grown out of the blues then you'll most likely find this chord progression in it!

And, an extra special thanks goes to Chase Heeler, Richard, Megawaddledoo and friends Inc., Peter Keller, Douglas Lind, Vidad Flowers, Ivan Pang, Waylon Fairbanks, Jon Dye, Austin Russell, Christopher Ryan, Toot & Paul Peijzel, the channelโ€™s Patreon saints! ๐Ÿ˜‡
