How to create a chord progression in Minor and Major

http://www.musictheory.net/lessons/html/id57_en.html


This website explains it very very good enjoy

Chord progression is still very cryptic for me... I havent looked much into it,
but I'll have to because I love to improvise, and scales are understood...

So the remaining thing for me is how to play chords etc.

I didnt understand much of it as you see in my post above, but know I finally got it...
All these vii, iii and I stuff are numbers....

It's refering to 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 in the scale you are playin in, so I made a little piece with the chord progression they use on that page.
But if I'm right that chord progression is kinda the safe way? Because you can bend the rules ^_^

Well Why not explane? Why couldnt we find it on the other page?

The test sounds nice!

that's a great way to explain it for beginners ^_^

Chord Progressions are really fun, I just don't like it when I hear the most common Chord Progression in songs. Making your own is much better than using common ones.

I just download that program already and its helps me a lot. Thanks!

I'd say youve got the hang of it mate GJ !

i think the best thing is to experiment and go where u feel necessary. Remember there are many rules to follow but if you find something that sounds incredible but break every rule in music lol. The rules are there as a starting point and as a little block for beginners to get the feel of composing and creating with some walls around them so they don't confuse themselves

I looked to it closer and I don't understand what I VI etc stand for?

It's roman numerals I = 1, II = 2, III = 3, IV = 4, V = 5, VI = 6 VII = 7

big letters are major, small letters minor

lol I knew it was roman numeral. But the I, for instance, does this mean the 1st note of your scale?

Yeah

C-Major

I = C
II =D
III=E
IV=F
V =G
VI=A
VII=B

C-Major Chords

I = C E G
II =D F A
III=E G B
IV=F A C
V =G B D
VI=A C E
VII=B D F

Ahh! Thank you!

Sorry! I don't want you guys to be misinformed. In analisis it's extreamly importaint that we don't get minor and major chords mixed up so we have lower case symbols for minors and upper case for major's here's what it should look like keep in mind this is very importaint. (otherwise I wouldn't bring it up)

C-Major

I = C
ii =d
iii=e
IV=F
V =G
vi=a
vii o=B (the o stands for diminished usually it's higher up and smaller)

C-Major Chords

I = C E G
ii =D F A
iii=E G B
IV=F A C
V =G B D
vi=A C E
vii o=B D F (usually written like this) vii o6 =D F B

hopefully that makes sense... lol... if it didn't i'm sorry

My bad Of course! Sorry Crip
But yeah, capitals (I ect) for major chords and (i ect) for minor chords
Tnx Andrew

no problem man
