Hi retro-lover! In this video you will get an in-depth look at the kinds of chords YOU can use when writing 80s and 90s retrowave (retro pop, dance, etc.) tunes! You'll learn the very basics of how chords are built (using major and minor thirds), and how you can extend basic chords (triads) by adding extensions (7ths, 9ths, etc.). This will add a ton of new shades of emotion to your music, and give your retro songs a more sophisticated sound. I hope you enjoy!
