A pedal point is when you keep the same note in the bass while changing the chords on top.
Doing this for a series of measures creates a sense of both connection and tension.
Using pedal points builds energy so that when the bass note finally changes, the harmonies of the tune seem to burst forth like a waterfall breaking through a dam.
This lesson explores how to incorporate pedal points into your own playing.
