Hello Songwork Members! 

This week's videos are from Steve Seskin and Randall Williams. Steve is going to talk about surprises in songs, and when they work. Randall will help you create more color in your guitar playing by showing how to throw tensions into common chords. And as we all know, more color means more emotion!

Enjoy this week's new videos, and please don't hesitate to let the Songwork team know what you think!

Sincerely,

Jonelle Vette

Surprises In Songs

Instructor: Steve Seskin

Surprises in songs are usually what make them memorable. Join Steve in this video where he talks about the sorts of surprises that really seem to work and why. 

Why do Some Chords Have Numbers?

Instructor: Randall Williams

Do you think C9, Dmaj7, F#6/9 are all colorful sounding chords? This class will teach you how to decipher these chords, and create your own. Adding color, or "tensions" to chords is one very cool way to make your songs richer.
