Tom & Brad's Blog

Hello Tom and Brad here this week!

As James is away in Malia this week, we will be giving you your weekly dose of WinterKids blog fun. He did however, very kindly send us some pictures of his antics so far to share with ya'll.

So what have the other WinterKids been up to this week? Well, we decided to use the time wisely by going out and getting jobs… No seriously!

Firstly Brad
I've been teaching music! A good friend of mine is a proper teacher, and by total coincidence he needed a co-teacher for the week… I know I couldn’t believe it either!

So, here’s a picture of me teaching my little heart out

As for myself (Tom), not only have I been teaching people how to bass, I have also been doing some manual labour, involving shifting furniture. Please see below for pictures of both:

And finally, we (Tom and Brad) have been thinking for a while that we’d like to bring something really special to the WK blog; something fresh, cool, exciting, something we can all enjoy together and really appreciate and something that's in no way uncool.

After much thought we narrowed the decision down to two. Either...

TOM AND BRAD’S CHORD OF THE WEEK!!
or

BRAD AND TOMS EXTREMELY IN DEPTH AND SLIGHTLY IRRELEVANT CHORD (AND MUSIC IN GENERAL) ANALYSING (AND APPRECIATING) SOCIETY!

Lets just stick with the first one, so here it is

Tom & Brad's chord of the week is:

F 6sus4

The chord consists of:
F Bb C D

On guitar, the chord would look like this.

To play it on piano the left hand would play the F as a bass note and the right hand would play the remaning Bb, C, and D notes.

Examples of where this chords can be heard on are: On the intro to Led Zeppelin's 'The Song Remains The Same' as well as the bridge to Jose Gonzalez's hit 'Hearbeats'.

So, it is upon that note (pun intended) that we wrap up this weeks WK blog. We do hope you've enjoyed it, have a nice week!
