Excellent Chording in the Song- Surrounded – Dream Theater

I believe if you want to be a good composer, the first thing we should focus on more is Chording. When writing the original song, we often stick with common chording’s that have already been used on millions of songs. 

In this “Song with great Chording” Series I will suggest songs with some exotic/uncommon chording’s and hopefully you will learn new chords and their uses:)
