![]() ![]() Is this the music theory snob zone?! Some people like to quickly get some chords up in the daw using a plugin, listen to them and decide if they want to use them, modify them, move them around etc - so what? Why is that even an issue?! It's a starting point, no one is pressing the 'make me a song' button. These things are starting points and inspirations, use your ears and brain to make them into something interesting. Have you got a similar problem with the original acid records where someone realised if you took the batteries out of the 303 and put them back in it generated a random bassline that was better than manually inputting the notes?! The Jam used Beatles' Taxman as the basis of 'Start!' - does that make it a bad song? I just read Stone Roses also used Taxman as a starting point to jam and went onto turn it into I Am The Resurrection. You were reading the wrong books or reading the right books wrongly.ĭon't we have enough hits already? Is this the music theory snob zone?!

And that is basically your "band in a box".īut the chord progression generator in your DAW? This is very useful tool exactly for that purpose. that's where you write (or it's generated for you) your chord progression, the backing parts are also generated and then you can play along, improvising your solo or bass part in realtime like you're performing on stage. When you learn improvisation, you need to practice those modes. The only useful scenario I see is for those performers practice, as it was already mentioned earlier. It's a hard work, but it pays off very quickly if used consistently. It's important that tools are forcing you to do your own work from scratch instead of use "convenience templates" predefined for your review by someone else. It's even more important than the main book, because it forces your brain to start working instead of just observing what others did.Īt the end, its not important what tools do you use for studying. It includes also audio recordings for those who can't play fluently. "Tonal Harmony", Stefan Kostka has a complimentary "Workbook" which is a book by itself, that contains exercises you have to finish to grasp the content of the main book. It's really hard to find something specific for composers, those who start from the blank sheet and they are not good performers, I agree with that. And that is not a problem for them (performers) we must say. The problem is, most books are oriented more for the performer, given that you can read sheet music fluently and play. It's not a problem that books are static information. ![]()
