Resources

Major Scale Chord Chart

Long press or right click on the chord chart on the left to download it. It can help you figure out which chords are in which key. Simply find the key you are in or want to work in see which 7 chords would be in that row, for example the chords in the key of C would be C - Dm - Em -  F  - G  - Am - B

GuitarChords.org.uk

GuitarChords.org.uk also has a database of all the chords in a given key including the minors and other scales 

Rhymezone.com

Rhymezone.com has a rhyming dictionary as well as a thesaurus which I often find helpful.

Drum Loop Apps

There are  a bunch of free apps built in drum grooves that can help get you outside of your box if you feel like you are repeating yourself or are lacking inspiration. They're also good for practicing. I personally use Loopz but it's only on Android

Loopz for Android          Drumgenius on App Store

"War of Art" Book Series

These are some of my favorite books ever. They're written by Stephen Pressfield and can help you break through your creative struggles. I've read them all multiple times. 

You can buy them right here from Steven Pressfield's Website.

"The Creative Act" Book

This book is by Rick Rubin and details the creative process from beginning to end. I just got it and read it pretty quick and will definitely read it again. You need this book!

Check it out on his publisher's site here.
