Chord Progressions?

[EaZe]

I'm fairly new to the keys but I've been learning fast. Sometimes I can come up with some decent chord progressions, but not all the time. If somebody could drop some knowledge on progressions, that would be great. Also, is there a site where i can find charts for different progressions.

hmm.. i can shoot you 2 a website where u can cop a course.. there are free sources but i believe that it is easier and quicker 2 learn from this course other than having an instructor. leme kno if u interested cuz i aint tryna advertise or nothin

Free resources are always good.....


I made a small investment with a chord book that has both guitar and piano tabs in it..... The name of it is "Chords For Keyboard & Guitar"(Publisher:Hal-Leonard) for $7.95

I got my copy from Hasting's Movie Rental/Book Store but I'm pretty sure you can get it at any Waldenbooks or any other national retail book store.......

If you learn the rules of each chord then you'll never have to use a chord book again.......... Keep that in mind.....

Do what is best for you.......

a quick summery of what i know is that cord progressions are the patterns of cords being played in relation to the root of the key. most cords are 1 - 3 - 5 ( the first note, third note, and fifth note from the root) For example the key of C, a major I (one) cord would be C,E,G. a major V (fifth) cord would be G,B,D because G is 5 notes from C. common cord progressions are I - IV - V. In the key of C that would be (C,E,G - F,A,C -G,B,D). A seventh cord is 1-3-5-7. that adds a nice sound to some chords and makes it sound more full. if this was too complicated or too basic sorry. hit me back

Try a search. I know I've answered this a few times.

i like going from the root to a 3m, then going up to 4, and resolving to root. then maybe go 4, 5, minor, down to 2m, 3m, 4, 5 and back to root.

i just realized how hard that might be to understand if you aren't me hearing it as i type. oh well. hope it helps.

i dont understand why some frequency combinations are considered
bad.

[jimmythesaint]

They're not necessarily "bad" but "dissonant". Most of western music has evolved through a gradual acceptance of dissonant intervals. Tritones weren't allowed hundreds of years ago, because of "the devil's interval". Major7th chords only arrived in the 20s with the great duke, but didn't reach the mainsteam until the bebop era. The more and more we hear dissonant intervals, the more consonant they become to our ears.

Really depends on the piece you're playing, and your own personal styles and tastes.
