Hello, I wrote a riff in Em and I snuck in a chord or event that I can't explain. It sounds like it works, but I don't know what the function is if any. Simplified, it's mostly dyads and power chords (e.g. Let Gmaj stand for G and B): E5 / Gmaj / F#min / Emin / D5 But then I have a chord (low to high) : C#-G-B Which moves to C-E-C and then B-D#-B. I think I have a grasp on most oby squishygear - Music Theory Questions and Answers
I was wondering if someone could check my analysis on a chord progression. Some background: I tried to write a chord progression where the lowest note descends chromatically. Inversions were necessary. Essentially it's spelled out: Bm7(no 5th) / Bb+ / A / E / G / D / F / Em Assuming this is in A, the best I've manged to do with it is: 1. The Bm7(no 5th) functions as a ii7. 2. The Bb+by squishygear - Music Theory Questions and Answers
Heya, I've written a small piece of music that seems to work (to my ears anyway), but I can't quite figure out how or whether it "works theoretically" and how I would even conceptualize it. It's over three chords and uses some outside playing. For the sake of keeping it simple: Chord 1: F major with occasional Bs, giving it a Lydian flavor Chord 2: A (or C or D# or F#) diminishedby squishygear - Music Theory Questions and Answers
