What do you call that thing you do where (for example in the song "tuesday", ~20s), the chords are all like: | Cmaj7 | Cm7/Eb | Bbmaj7 | F13 or something | I find it has a very distinctive sound and it's really cool and all that. ???
those aren't the right chords, but that's an old trick i like to call .................................. music! that particular bit is probably a good example of something i would never be able to achieve if i weren't writing the melody, lyrics, and chords at the exact same time. i was also sitting in the new york public library with earplugs in, which i think helps to strengthen the imagination, and always makes songwriting more focused and vivid, while staying adventurous
