269 | Lesson 19 - Quick Update

Hey there. I worked on Lesson 19 (Circle of Fifths) all day yesterday. Here's a short update that we filmed last night. Enjoy!

It would be super cool to do a breakdown with the circle of fifths of Radiohead’s - exit music (for a film). I can’t figure out which mode it is and which sections are using borrowed chords or if it’s using modal mixture.
