Interlock your chords for great sounding progressions

When you’re writing or playing a chord progression on piano or keyboard, things will sound a lot better if you choose good shapes for your chords — good voicings, to use the technical term. In this tutorial I give a short demonstration of how to interlock chords, making use of shared notes, to minimise jumping and create a flowing, musical sound. The chord progression I use is C-G-Am-F (1-6-5-4) but the music theory principles I’m describing will work with more or less any chord sequence. These principles are also worth remembering even if you’re not playing the piano — you can also use them when programming chord progressions in a DAW using a MIDI piano roll or writing music into a score. #Shorts #chords
