The Harmonious Blacksmith: A Music Theory Exploration

About

Episode 23 of Season 2 of THE HARMONIOUS BLACKSMITH

In this episode, we are exploring CHROMATICISM, the CHROMATIC SCALE, MAJOR and MINOR TONALITY, BASS LINES, TRIADS, CHORDS, CHORD PROGRESSIONS, CHORD INVERSIONS, and CHROMATIC MELODIES. The Blacksmith goes into 2 epic songs for analysis :

‘Hey Joe’ by Jimi Hendrix  and

’Stairway to Heaven’ by Led Zeppelin

The Blacksmith reviews concepts like KEYS, SCALES, INTERVALS, HALF-STEPS and WHOLE-STEPS, CHORD INVERSIONS, and more!

HB explains how one of these songs has an obvious Chromatic Melody and the other one has a hidden one. Special NEW character makes Cameo in this episode! Don’t Miss it!
