I’ve played the guitar since I was 12, and just taught myself songs chord by chord Picture Quote #1

Maybe sometimes things come to you that you never, in a thousand years, would have included. But they strike a chord, so grab it. Trust your ability to know what’s true to it and what would carry you off into outer space Picture Quote #1

When the wind is against you, like a kite, have your chord of faith rooted and you would fly highest ever Picture Quote #1

I took music theory for one year in high school and flunked all but one six-week period. That’s because I couldn’t read music, and the rest of the class was already eight or nine years into it.

I’ve been kind of listening to the composer Britten and his rendition of ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream.’ The opening track is a choral section where all the weird fairies, who are played by kids in the production, sing. It’s a crazy opening melody and chord sequence - really amazing Picture Quote #1

The jazz chord substitutions in a country song... that was another thing that bent people’s ears. I guess that my favorites are the unique ones. It’s not how fast you play. It’s that unique blending of different stuff I’m most proud of Picture Quote #1

I like to separate the music- and lyric-writing processes if I can. I’ll sort of noodle around on my keyboard and my computer until I have a beat or a chord progression, I’ll record it as a loop, export it to iTunes, then walk around with the loop and sort of talk to myself in the loop, and that’s how I get the lyrics Picture Quote #1

There’s a richness to the old works if you look before the 1950s. The chord progressions and the language was more complicated, especially in the jazz and classical world Picture Quote #1

The flanger setting ... makes it sound as if the chord is being chewed over thoughtfully by a large genie accustomed to telling long, implausible stories Picture Quote #1

I was pillaging a lot of music that had nothing to do with guitar playing, using a lot of strange tunings and voicings and chord structures that aren’t really that natural to the guitar; I ended up developing a harmonic palette that’s not particularly natural to the guitar because I was always trying to make my guitar sound like something else Picture Quote #1

It’s funny how three or four notes of anger can be struck at once, creating the perfect chord of fury Picture Quote #1

My songs, they have just the one chord, there’s none of that fancy stuff you hear now, with lots of chords in one song. If I find another chord I leave it for another song Picture Quote #1

What I think I do is to relate any new material to how similar it is to something else. The closest that I can come up with something that’s already in my experience, the easier it becomes. All I have to do then is remember where it differs, like relating a chord sequence that comes from some other tune, or several different tunes, or maybe parts of them and then work it from there Picture Quote #1
