EQing?! A studio term. We'll dig in on it, in the context of frequency separation. We count out the hook density of a driving road house tune. We look at the complex chords of Jazz. And we map out the basics of Nashville Notation. Oh, and we look at the Latin clave beat. Let's hit the trail.

In Hits and Hooks Vignettes, we play some great tunes and lift the hood to see what makes them tick. HHV is a short-form music podcast about how songs keep listeners engaged through hooks, structure, and the subtle musical decisions that quietly do their work.

Follow Hits and Hooks Vignettes, and join me, TuneMoose Matt Bates, for a weekly short walk through musicland! Hits and Hooks Vignettes is produced by Everyone's A Star Records, and hosted by TuneMoose Matt Bates.
