Three chord strategies for creating satisfying contrast and variation in the bridge section of your songs.

We first start by defining what a bridge is - then look at 3 chord-based (or harmonic) approaches, in increasing levels of harmonic complexity, for creating a sense of contrast, variation, and movement in the bridge section of your songs.

We look at songs by The Beatles and Bruno Major that put the concepts into context.
