I have been playing by ear for years and now it's like you are removing my sunglasses and providing light in the darkness

[@stalbrmusic498]

I thought when I first heard that intro, “Ima finish the album!!!”

[@leonwaves]

What part?

[@anglodutch8321]

Great. You go straight into the chords without putting everyone to sleep with too much theory. Useful and great fun.

[@refaelsimbolon10]

Wow, thanks for the information dude.. i still learning how to create those kinda high level chord progression on my guitar to create my own song. Keep it up!

[@leonwaves]

Yeremia Refael Krisada Simbolon Glad you enjoyed it!

[@refaelsimbolon10]

@@leonwaves i also love the chord progression from band called hiatus kaiyote, to me they're like have their own signature chord progression, try to check song called shaolin monk motherfunk

[@leonwaves]

Yeremia Refael Krisada Simbolon yes that’s an amazing song!!

[@ItsParhelia]

Awesome analysis, I’d be so curious to see a similar breakdown of their song Too Good 👀

[@_followthetone]

This is great. Going to try the chords on guitar

[@leonwaves]

Awesome!

[@Chord_The_Seeker]

Thanks for posting this. I want to figure this out on the guitar, and there is no way that I would have been able to figure out these chords on my own.

[@leonwaves]

Chord TheSeeker Glad to be of help! Let me know how it turns out 👌🏻

[@tonylancer7367]

Hey man, loving the videos that you have been putting out. Do you think you can break down "The List" by Moonchild too? I feel like it is a great song and a parallel to the Cure.

[@leonwaves]

That’s a great one!

[@jonathanosborn4800]

Very helpful. ONe wish of mine, is that you'd include the chord symbols in the pdf

[@thewafflemancer]

My hands are too smol for these lush voicings

[@nested_King]

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@miriamc1876]

I heard the song I wish - Skee Lo in the intro of Cure. You should do an analysis on that song. Anyone else hear this?

[@menomisespeanut]

Please check out Hiatus Chayote.

[@user-zk3ou5rq3s]

Hi Leon, your videos have always been inspiring! I have but one doubt about the A13sus chord in 5:52. I think it's more of a hybrid voicing than a polychord as shown by the chord symbol right?

[@adamlord6332]

5:12 with the way you're voicing the chord couldn't you just call it a G altered dominant chord, if the dominant was centered around G with the voicing containing the b7, #9 and b13?

[@M0B]

No sé por qué tiene pocas visitas ,se toma la molestia de analizar todo

[@joaobrunomus]

Amazing!! Like, subscribe and following!!

[@tonyrettig1052]

Who is Moonchild? Why are their harmonies so spicy?

[@Lbvg]

great stuff! but what's the two last chords on the ending of the intro, in the transition to the verse?

[@leonwaves]

Exactly what time stamp?

[@Lbvg]

@@leonwaves i didn't find it in your video. it's two chords between 0:20 and 0:23 in the original track. i'm not sure but is it an Emaj and then the Ebadd2/G? i think these chords appear at the tailend of the choruses also

[@leonwaves]

You are correct. I didn’t include them probably because they appear a few times. It’s an Emaj9#11 to an Ebadd2/G, which also appears in other parts of the verse. The Ebadd2/G is like a inverted dominant chord to G#m9, even though it doesn’t have a dominant 7th (Db).

[@Lbvg]

@@leonwaves alright. thank you very much!

[@DevashishGuptaOfficial]

[@yerahmlee730]

Bruhhhhhh

[@jaydabliu]

Amazing tutorial and breakdown... Maybe you can leave out the beat when you're actually playing.

[@leonwaves]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the feedback
