Today’s lesson is a very serious and scientific exploration into what your favorite chord says about your personality. (Okay… not scientific at all, but definitely entertaining.)
Are you a smooth major 7 person who drinks overpriced coffee and says things like “the vibe is intentional”?
A minor 9 feeler who processes emotions on long walks?
Or maybe you’re a diminished chord chaos goblin who enjoys making people slightly uncomfortable for fun. 😂
In this lesson, we’re breaking down:
- Major 7 chords
- Minor 9 chords
- Diminished chords
- Dominant 7 chords
- The mysterious “wanderer” sound
- And one absolutely unhinged chord combo that only the intense people will understand
Plus, I’ll show you my personal favorite “heaven chord” and a fun little progression where all these chord personalities interact in one musical conversation.
By the end, you’ll either feel deeply seen… or mildly attacked.
