You ever think of a piece of music as a chessboard, each note a move that could either threaten or defend the harmony?
Yeah, a tune is a board. Each note is a pawn or a king. I map the threats before the melody even starts.
Nice analogy, but I often just let the keys whisper—then the board rearranges itself.
You let the keys do the talking? I’d rather the board tell me the story first and then the music follows.
I’d say the silence teaches me first, then the board follows, but I’m happy to swap if it keeps your chords from going flat.
Silence is my baseline, then the board steps in. I’ll keep the chords solid if that helps you stay in the groove.
