Beach Boys ‘She Knows Me Too Well’: A Chord Progression Masterclass (Music Theory for Songwriters)

#BeachBoys #BrianWilson #SongwritingTheory In this lesson I break down the songwriting and chord theory behind “She Knows Me Too Well” from The Beach Boys Today album, showing what Brian Wilson is doing harmonically under the hood. This song uses advanced pop harmony, unusual chord progressions, emotional voice leading, and functional harmony that goes far beyond typical 1960s pop songwriting. I explain how these chords work, why they feel so powerful, and how you can use these techniques in your own songwriting. This channel focuses on sophisticated pop harmony from artists like The Beach Boys and Steely Dan, explained from a songwriting perspective for composers, producers, and musicians.
