comment Comfortable notes in a key
You should also look up the concept of the "turnaround", a term used in jazz and pop music to describe a major cadence at the end of a whole section of music.

comment What do I need to study Bach chorales?
Every college music theory program in the world teaches the functional diatonic harmony of Western music, and is based to a large degree on Bach's chorales. There are myriad textbooks on this subject available in any library, and many websites that you can Google. Your question is too broad for this site, and there are so many resources elsewhere.

Learn about the concept of cadences. A cadence is a resolution of a musical phrase (in the harmonies or chord progression), analogous to the punctuation at the end of a sentence.

comment how does the bluegrass major chord built off of the flat 7 “work”?
Joe Coder Guy, you have a point -- but it's the V that is unexpected, not the IV. In the way it's used in rock, in the mixolydian, V remains a major chord (although strictly speaking according to the mode you would expect the V to be minor). I don't know the music theory reason for this, but it is played that way. It's the same with the minor mode, too, in all forms of music. The major-chord V in the minor key has a raised 7th scale degree.
