I noticed that a lot of songs and compositions nowadays use the same kind of songwriting technique. And what I find interesting is that it is actually quite easy to learn and apply.
The basic idea is to just use thirds, or preferably compound thirds to outline your melody and chord progression. And this already gives a very rich sound and inspiring starting point.
For this short video I have written three examples in three different styles to show just how useful this technique can be!
Hopefully this can lead to some new inspiration :)
