Theory/songwriting lesson idea

[idssdi]

I go to bed a bit later than I should because I'm studying the chord progressions of a song, last night is an example of that. Basically, I figured you guys maybe could benefit from those sleepless nights.

I figured I could pick a song and study the chord progression in that song. At the end of the week I'll make a video explaining what's going on(like the harmony and why it works).

For now I don't really want to look into the solos or the vocal melodies but if you guys really want that to be included to I can make it a biweekly thing instead of a weekly thing.

Instead of just me picking a song I like I can also make a poll so you guys can vote.

What do you guys think?

i think that's really interesting, i also do the same and its an unvaluabable piece of information to add to our own song writting.
really cool idea here Ids!

These are the kind of videos I like to watch on youtube, but most of those videos are about classics and pop(ish) music. It would be nice to see more rock, metal and other genres.
