MORE CHORD PROGRESSIONS EXPLORED

Trey Songz “Can’t Be Friends” video comedy parody was a fun way to explore the use of chord progressions in a song. We’ve been discussing chords, the cycle of fifths and music theory as a whole for the past year and this new realization has had a significant impact on our music. In this new tutorial beat making video we listen intently to Trey Songz “Can’t Be Friends” paying close attention to the chords and progressions used, what key the producer was in and what made those piano chords so solemn, sad, but yet beautiful. This new Youtube mini-sode is a new variety show produced to entertain, educate and inspire. It’s the first episode of many to be uploaded to the youtube community for entertainment and educational purposes.


Trey Songz has re-emerged and has elevated his status to the levels of R. Kelly, Chris Brown and many others. His new Mario Winans produced track “Can’t Be Friends” from his new release debut “Passion, Pain & Pleasure” has hit the airwaves, internet and Youtube community by storm. We often include in our Beat Making Tutorials some current new artist production work so as to case study the music, so it can help us to discern whats hot and how to stay current and relevant in today’s music industry. Trey Songz Cant Be Friends parody was a perfect way to teach through entertainment form to take the edge off of strained teaching. Software used in this Hip Hop beat session was Reason 5 Propellerhead Kong Drum Designer, Blocks, Akai MPK49 MPC style sampler. And Neptune Pitch adjustment was used for 1 minor off note. We hope you all enjoy this new Trey Songz Can’t be Friends parody, hope you all subscibe to our channel, and look forward to seeing you in our new beat making instrumental episodes here at TodaysbeatsTV.
