Welcome back to the fourth issue of my weekly newsletter.
(If you haven't heard --- after 5 years of hibernation, the "Hear &
Play" newsletter is finally back and in full effect. And thousands of
you have written in to tell me how much you're enjoying it... thank you so much!).
It's an exciting week here because I'm unveiling a secret song learning
tool I built several years ago but never revealed to the mass public...
until now. Only certain inner circle members have used it and after so
many rave reviews, I've decided to make some last minute changes to it
and offer it to the world! You can go check it out a free video I made about it here.
I've got some really good treats for you in this newsletter. Among them,
a funny story about my 4-year old daughter and how it can actually
transform your playing. Also, a near-death childhood experience and what
I've learned from it (hopefully it can inspire a few). And of course
some hardcore, technical music stuff! There's tons more too so have fun.
As a friendly reminder, make sure to subscribe
at the site (no cost) as I'm only sending the first 6 issues to
everyone. After that, it's only going to subscribers. This is the 4th
issue and only 2 more to go so subscribe today.
And comment! I really thrive off your feedback. Let me know what you think about the material. It really keeps me going.
Enjoy this issue and I'll see you next time.
What My 4-Year Old Could Teach You About Chord Placement
I knew I had to share this story because there are some lessons about chord placement here.
So Jadyn, our oldest daughter, comes in our room this morning and while I never noticed, Sarah says "Jadyn, you have on your little sister's pajamas!" We all busted out in laughter.
Now, Layla, our youngest daughter is cute and chunky! Probably in the
ninety percentile weight and height for 1 year olds so I'm not surprised
Jadyn could fit into her pajama pants.
How does this relate to chord placement? Read more>>>

What A Near-Death Experience Taught Me
I jumped in.
Ferociously paddling my arms and legs like I had observed the other
children doing, I tried to get back above water but nothing happened. I
just sank deeper and deeper.
As I looked up, all I could see was dozens of legs kicking... and... blue water.
Water gushed through my nose and mouth; my ears now flooded. I paddled incessantly for dear life. Surely someone could see me.
10 seconds passed... 20 seconds... 30 seconds... 40 seconds... a minute. Read More>>>
A 9-Second Method to Chord Substitutions
I touched on primary chords and chord substitutions in a post last week, but today, I want to take it a step further.
(I recommend you go check out that post on primary chords as a primer to this lesson.)
In short, every key has primary chords built off the 1st, 4th, and 5th tones of the scale. In C major... Read more>>>
Every week, I rummage through our years of archived articles and dig you up a gem. Enjoy!
I have six framed quotes in my home office (even more at
the Hearandplay headquarters) but I must admit, I spend a lot more time
in my home office than I do there. And out of the 6, I've already shared
3 of them. Today, I'm going to give you the 4th one... Read more>>>
