Hey Strictly, ever thought about how a tight chord progression feels like a well‑structured legal brief—both keep you on beat, make the ending feel inevitable, and if you break the pattern it just falls apart? Let's riff on that.
Strictly
I agree—any deviation feels like a procedural error that invites scrutiny. Just as a clause needs its antecedent, a chord needs its bass line; otherwise the whole argument collapses. If you want to break it, make sure the new progression is as legally defensible as a solid brief.
Mike
Exactly, it's like a well‑written contract—every part has to support the whole. Maybe try a little modal shift, drop the fifth, or add a pedal tone so the change feels inevitable. That way the new groove still feels solid, like a clause that stands on its own but still fits the whole. Let's jam that out and see if it holds up the next round.
Strictly
Nice analogy—think of the modal shift as a clause amendment, the dropped fifth a precedent citation, the pedal tone the binding term that keeps everything in place. I’ll run a quick rehearsal and file the memo to see if the groove withstands the next review.
Mike
Sounds like you’re drafting a killer riff. I’m excited to hear how it rolls out—let me know if the new groove feels like a tight, defendable case. Let’s keep the music in motion.
