Hello there people,
I've been reading lots of tutorials and read many many posts from Bandcoach about chords. But I still don't understand something. I don't play any instruments by the way, I always just draw my notes on the piano roll in my daw.
I know about scales and I know which chords there are.
For example, I got the scale Eb major. That means the notes are: Eb F G Ab B C D Eb.
Now I always make my chords like this:
Major example:
Eb - G - B -> G - B - D -> F Ab C -> Ab - C - Eb
but, now my question is, can I use the different chords in 1 progression? Because I always just choose one chord, and make the whole progression with it in my scale. But can you use like a major triad to a power chord and then to a minor 7th for example? Or do you always choose one chord and make a progression with that?
Another question, do chord progression always belong to 1 scale? Because I hear people in tutorials talk about: We gonna use a D major chord, a C major chord and an A minor. (Just an example I don't know if it actually works or sounds right ) but then I am like: wtf. So you want me to put a major triad in de D scale, then a major triad in the C scale and then a minor triad in the A scale? Or am I not understanding it right?
Please help me
