I introduced my original composition, Crow Feather, to cellist Vlad Shvartman and it was a perfect fit for the V Squared experience.

Another Surf-y nostalgia song made famous by Johnny Rivers who was a class act in the early Sixties. He was originally from N'awlins and in some of his music you can catch that deep south vibe. He was also one of the first guys to write a song naming within it a Beatles album, namely Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club band.

The whole secret to this entire system can be summed up by the term "Key Blending." This is a very specific form of blending keys together and is by no means arbitrary. To successfully use this System, a two-step process is used to arrive at two separate keys: our original key (the 'umbrella key') and the key we derive from it (the 'switched key.")
- 2:34 The Basic Principle of this System
- 4:24 Blending the I, IV and V of the two extracted keys of A and C
- 5:16 Improvising A Minor Pentatonic against the I, IV and V of A and C
- 7:48 The Who, 'See Me, Feel Me,' pt. 1 unpacked
- 8:41 The Who, 'See Me, Feel Me, pt. 2 unpacked
- 10:18 The Kinks, 'All Day and All of the Night,' unpacked
- 14:51 Nirvana, 'Smells Like Teen Spirit,' unpacked
- 15:51 The PR Switch in Jazz, 'the Tad Dameron Turnaround'
- 16:49 Two new terminologies in this System, The Umbrella Key & The Switched Key
- 17:11 The PR Switch in Jazz, Hiromi's 'Drifters'
- 18:02 What's coming up next?
I am 1000% certain that this System is an entirely new form of musical analysis that completes the circle of Music Theory altogether. With the Parallel/Relative Switch, we now have 3 Systems by which we can confidently and surely analyze chord progressions: The Greek Modes, The Major/Minor Key System, and this System, the Parallel/Relative Switch.
