Hit chord progression part 7…
Posted by jgarnerprod in Hit Song Analysis on April 24th, 2012
You can count on Lady Antebellum to join the fun with our friend, the 6 min, 4, 1, 5 (okay, inverted 5 over 7) progression.
Are you seeing a trend here??
Or a rut? 
I’ll have some new modulation examples next time!

What do you do with that extra chorus at the end? #2!

So I’ve mentioned the dilemma (or challenge) of the double chorus at the end in a previous post.
Here’s a current example that works when you have two distinctly different lyrics in chorus 1, and 2. It’s used deftly in the Blake Shelton single “Honey Bee”, written by Rhett Akins and Ben Hayslip.
After verse 3, chorus 3 kicks in with the lyric from chorus 1, with chorus 4 using the lyric from chorus 2.
Nice work guys!
Count this as another tool in your belt of song arranging!
