Using key changes in your songwriting can make your songs structurally and dynamically more interesting.
Relative key changes are the most natural sounding to use. They can be worked into existing songs quite easily and can give the song a new direction, either as part of the verse, bridge or chorus.
This lesson will show you how to find and use relative keys using some typical progressions as examples.
This knowledge is also beneficial as a soloist/lead player, as you'll need to be able to recognise when a key change occurs so you can select the right scale/notes for your solo.
Try coming up with your own relative major/minor key changes based on the examples in this lesson. It should offer you a new way of structuring your songs, as you'll have two immediate points of resolution instead of one!
Dm / Gmaj / Cmaj or Dm / Gmaj / Am
Use relative key changes to break up the verse, add a bridge or middle eight, or just give the chorus more of a lift.
