Today I was introduced to a new piece of software I hadn’t seen before – HOOKTHEORY.
I was immediately taken by it and I find it easy to use – within minutes I was putting together tunes that would take ages using the guitar as I normally do.
So what is Hooktheory?
Conventional tabs and sheet music are great for showing you how to play a song, but they’re not ideal for understanding how everything fits together. Theory Tabs show you the function of each chord and note within a song and reveal structure that isn’t readily apparent.
Why?
For many people, listening to music elicits such an emotional response that the idea of analyzing it can seem odd or even misguided.
But there is a lot of knowledge that has been developed that explains how we perceive different chords/notes and how and why they go together. Knowing these patterns can give one a deeper more fundamental sense for how music works, and it can make listening to music a lot more interesting. It also goes without saying that knowing more about these connections will make you a better musician and songwriter.

I am sure looking forward to using this throughout the coming year.
