OUTSIDE / IDEAS
Go for a walk and think about the Tonic (1 chord) and the Dominant (5 chord) and how they create push and pull tension and release in composition. Also, think of songs you like and where is the tension or build-up in the songs?
Write a short reflection here about what you thought. DELETE ALL OF MR. LE DUC’s INSTRUCTIONS DETAILED ABOVE AFTER COMPLETING THEM
- Tonic (1 and 8 chords)
- Root note creates a feeling of resolution and stability
- Supertonic, Mediant, Submediant (2, 3, 6 chords)
- Moderate tension, useful for transitions
- Dominant, Subdominant, Leading Tone (4, 5, 7 chords)
- Create lots of tension to get to the tonic

CONTROL ROOM
Tune your guitar, bass or keyboard. Try recording two tracks of guitar, bass, or keyboard. One with the single notes like Jake Lizzio showed you above and a second with the lower C bass notes to make a simple progression. Remember two notes playing at the same time is harmony. Keep it simple. Refer to your Quizlet Guitar Strings / Notes Flashcards if you need help remembering the guitar notes on the first three frets. Set a timer. Stop playing before you feel like Chewbacca below.
