Part 5/8:
Extended Chords: The introduction of seventh chords (like E7 instead of E) added depth to their songs.
Non-Diatonic Chords: Integrating chords outside of the fundamental seven, adding surprising elements to their music (like the chord change in I Saw Her Standing There).
Genre Swapping: Oscillating between major and minor chords, pushing the emotional boundaries of their songs.
Key Changes: Initially mastered in subtle forms, key changes became a hallmark of their style, often unnoticed by casual listeners.
Subliminal Key Changes: This sophisticated technique sees the Beatles masterfully weaving key shifts into their compositions, allowing for seamless transitions that elevate the listener’s experience.
