So youre saying 2 or 3 changes in melody like a musical or something? Wouldn't that be totally chaos to write a flow to that?
Just because you change the order that you played the notes in a given chord, doesn't mean that the chord changed.
For instance...
C Major = C - E - G.
If you play it E-G-C, it's still a C Major progression. If you play it G-E-C, it's still a C major progression.
The beat that I did here....
Verse (12 bars)
Bmin
A
F#min7
GMaj
Pre-Hook (4 bars)
Em
F#m7
G
A
Hook/Post Hook (20 bars)
Bmin
A
F#min7
GMaj
Then the Verse / Pre-Hook / Hook / Post Hook progression repeats...
Then the bridge takes entirely different chord progression, as bridges generally do...
Bridge
Em
F#m7
Bm
A
Em
F#m7
G
A
See what i'm saying? It's the pre-hook and the bridge that make it different. Typical rap just repeats the verse chord progression over and over and over again, never changing that progression.
Putting a different melody over the same progression doesn't mean that the progression changed.
Any more than speeding up the high hats in a track changes the tempo.
An example of what you did is this beat that I did here....
It just keep repeating the same chord progression, through the verse, the hook, everything. It just loops the same progression, no matter what the melody on top may be doing (like on the hook, and on the post hook), or no matter how long i hold out the guitar strums...
It just keep going...
F major
D minor
Bb Major
C Major
F Major
