What I Learned From: Foo Fighters – Rope song analysis
What makes the Foo Fighers so good? And what secret lies behind their energetic musical power?
More important how as a rock band do they manage to write songs that appeal to a very large and extremely diverse audience? Do they use special music theory to write their songs?
In this songwriting and music analysis series called ‘What I Learned From’, I analyse music to find songwriting and composition techniques that you can use for writing your own music. In this episode I will analyse the song Rope from the album Waisting Light by the Foo Fighters.
I will show you my favorite part where they use secondary dominant chords, and not ordinary ones, but secondary dominants in first inversion. Apart from that I will also dive into some of the other Foo Fighters songwriting techniques that we can learn.
About the series ‘What I Learned From’:
What I Learned From is a songwriting and music analysis series. I analyse music to find techniques and aspects that interest me and catch my attention. I try to deliver this information in a as concise manner as possible. This way you can easily use all information to create music and not be distracted by complicated music theory.
