Shout out to @ethanhein's blog post on Blues Tonality for helping get our team out of a theory hole we were stuck in about how to think of the tonally ambiguous riff in the verse. https://t.co/BnFi4msZ1R

Today, on YouTube: The most defiant song of all time. Did you know Rage Against the Machine's "Killing in the Name" actually uses every pitch in the scale? https://t.co/Ww06rQu7By

New video! We love us some pedal tones. Simple, dramatic, fun. Use pedal tones for everything. Why not. https://t.co/YEZYH440KH

You know how people often use lists of reference songs to help identify intervals by ear? Like, The Simpsons theme for a tritone. We tried to do it but using ONLY John Williams songs. Perfect 4ths a-plenty. Tritones a little trickier to find. https://t.co/51uU3m6dkg

So glad people have been enjoying our video on minor 9 chords. Thank you for the nice comments! What's your favorite song that uses a minor 9? https://t.co/VgvDyHEz6h

Moody, melancholy, buttery, lush, cool. We made an ode to the minor 9 chord. Stack your thirds, pull up your chair to a rainy window, grab your sax man, and check it out: https://t.co/VgvDyHEz6h

"I like the directness of a lyric to be counteracted by a certain amount of ambiguity... that's real life. We don't have all our thoughts completely mapped out when we go to speak." @kimbramusic on what makes a great lyric. Check it out https://t.co/LK8NSwSGe6

Where did the ∆7 chord symbol come from? Apparently, some think John Coltrane invented it. Others, Charles Mingus. Others hate it and don't care. What do you think? We had way too much fun with this:

Always appreciate getting to hear two of my all time favorite musicians talk shop. Ben Weinman of @OFFICIALSTIG & @TDEP_ joins @DocCoyle for another great conversation on The Ex-Man. Be sure to check out @dillingerescpln’s course over at @learntosoundfly as well.

I've got ex- @dillingerescpln & current @OFFICIALSTIG guitarist, Ben Weinman, back on The Ex-Man pod. This time we are talking about his course on @learntosoundfly , where he is pulling from his experience as an independent artist to teach up-and-coming creators
