3 Important Rules For Beginners
In the previous lessons, we explored the C major scale and the chords in the key of C major.
Now, we’re going to uncover some tricks and techniques that will help you craft your own harmonically engaging major scale chord progressions.
We have three simple and effective tricks that will make your chord progressions stand out and sound fantastic.
Let’s dive right in!
Trick 1: Use Only 4 Measures.
In this trick, we’ll keep our chord progressions concise by using only four measures.
This approach creates a tight and focused musical statement, making it easy for listeners to follow and enjoy.
Trick 2: Start with the Root Chord (I).
The root chord (I), in this case, the C major chord, serves as our home base.
Beginning with the root chord provides a sense of stability and resolution to our progression.
Trick 3: Play the IV or V in the Last Measure.
Ending our progression with either the IV * *or V chord adds a sense of anticipation and tension, as these chords naturally lead back to the root chord (I).
Remember, these tricks serve as a foundation for creating your chord progressions, and you can combine them in various ways to achieve different emotions and vibes in your music
