  • A handsome man

  • Excellent -- some good concrete ideas.

  • This is exactly what I've been wondering about! Except I'm using an independent harmony (arpeggios) and I don't quite know how to go about contrasting that.

  • subtle head bobbin action 2:28 is priceless.

  • Most good songs have contrasts. Light and shade, loud and quiet etc. Enjoyed the lesson.

  • Cheeky... cool :D

  • Very cool .

  • This is a great technique

  • Really really appreciate this video, I'd been specifically wondering about this aspect of composition. :D
