In this vid I talk about a handful of my favorite ways to play through chords to keep them moving and alive. These techniques are easy to pick up but all have their own unique challenge and offer beautiful results

This is such a stylish move. The closed position sound is just sooooo classy and timeless, it never gets old and is easy and simple to make happen. Enjoy yall

Sometimes you gotta just throw function and purpose out the window and just play what sounds cool, you feel me? This is a slick lil progression for what the outer voices slide in towards each other in half steps.

Yessss. These minor chords drip all the wayyyyy down to the floor. This is a nice way to just move a shape around with ease and create a gooey lush smokey moody atmosphere.

Aight, now we heatin up! Starting to explore the Push as a whole, from keyboard, drum machine, sequencer, and now mixer and sound design tool. This is just some beginning steps to getting your drums to sound the you want them to, and to KNOCK. Enjoy £;^)

This is such a dope timeless chord. From way back in the day to being a hella slick soul jazzy lo-fi tension chord, this thing is so versatile and expressive. Here's one nice way to play with it and resolve to both a major and minor chill point. ENjoy £;^)
I just wanted to take this moment to thank all of you for supporting me. Real talk I would not be able to be an artist without you. Let alone a teacher. Because of you I get to be both :). Because of you I get to be exactly who I need to be, and give the most back.
So, THANK YOU! £;^)

Ok, so let's start to explore all the other awesome things you can do with Push! This is an intro on how to compose beats with the step sequencer. I love making beats this way, I thinks it's so fun and engaging. It makes something serious like making a banger feel like a video game or something. This lil vid takes you through...

I'm really excited about this. My first ever guitar/bass tut! And, a chance for me to talk about playing in perfect fourths aka P4 tuning, something that almost no one out there is sharing on (this is the way a bass is naturally tuned, so all I'm doing is adapting it for guitar and chordal playing as well. This is a really am...

November!!!
My boy Chris came over and filmed me making a vibe from scratch for 10 min. It’s always dope to see what you can do with the time restraint, see how much you can let go and immerse in what you have and make something happen. Here’s a lil recap!
Thanks so much for the support. It means everyth...

Thank you so much to everyone who supports me. I wouldn't be able to create anything without you. So grateful to have you in my life and I'm excited for what's coming next £;^)
Yes!! I remember when I finally started getting a feel for what the dominant chord could do in the context of tonality. It really creates a momentary shift, one that's clean and effortless and strong!! This walkup is just so cool, and I love how it transcends style and time from the OG Baroque days to the sound of modern gosp...

This is all about the emotional potential in chords and even intervals. When you start to open yourself up to these and become aware of their effect, you can start to put them together to create the mood and feeling you want! One of my favorite ways to express through music!
