Part 1 - Note Structure, Hierarchy, General Sounds - Introduction to The 3 Chord. We go over the core sounds of this chord, and what the unique qualities are.
Part 2 - The Problem With Autopiloting - We discuss why the 3 Chord is the least common chord for most people to use, especially with soloing. This is because it is difficult to autopilot over. We also go over some ways to adjust to make it work.
Part 3 - Legend of the Hidden 1 Chord - Continuing with the topic from the previous lesson, we go over a very popular way to alter the 3 chord so that it works with autopiloting. This method creates a very useful approach to chords that allows other chords to sneak their way in, a method called inversions.
Part 4 - Leads Using b2 - We go over using The 3 Chord's color note, the flat-2, in our lead. This note will be one of the most unique sounding notes that essentially makes the 3 chord sound unlike anything else in a key. It can be pretty dissonant however, so we go over ways to make it more palatable.
Part 5 - Using the b2 in Metal - I wrote a short metal tune that features the 3 Chord, targeting specifically the b2. A very common sound in all types of metal and is very easy to use and quite recognizable.
Part 6 - Song Examples - Like the other lessons, today we will go over a few songs that feature the 3 chord in a variety of ways.
