Stevie Wonder is a master at using sophisticated chord changes and harmonies. In one of his most famous songs, he slips in an amazing, unusual chord change that feels totally natural. Let me know of other examples of songs with beautiful, unexpected chord changes in the comments. #steviewonder #songwritingtips #sirduke #rnbsoul #chordprogression

Why, why is the keyboard intro from “Human Nature” off of Michael Jackson’s album “Thriller” so beautiful? We take a look at the harmonies and dissonances behind one of pop’s greatest keyboard riffs, written by Toto’s Steve Porcaro. *correction: arpeggio by David Paich, chords by Porcaro. #humannature #michaeljackson #toto #thriller #songwritingtips

Sometimes breaking a basic rule or convention of songwriting makes a song great. That’s what Sting did on “Message In A Bottle.” Let me know in the comments if you can think of other songs that do this. #songwriting #writingsongs #sting #thepolice #messageinabottle
