| May 19, 2015 at 8:46 | comment | added | confused00 | @ReinHenrichs Thanks, that makes sense. Just one more loosely related question if you don't mind - why Dm7 and G7 instead of Dm and G? I think I understand how the diminished chords differ technically and that they're supposed to give some kind of tension, but can you always replace a chord with its diminished and still have it part of its respective scale? What are the reasons for doing so? | |
| May 18, 2015 at 19:45 | comment | added | Rein Henrichs | @confused00 Because Dm7 and G7 are the ii and V chords in the key of C, and ii - V - I is a very common progression. | |
| May 18, 2015 at 15:54 | comment | added | confused00 | "For instance, in the chord progression Dm7 G7 X, there's a pretty darn good chance that X will be some type of C chord" - why? | |
| May 9, 2011 at 15:49 | comment | added | Raskolnikov | I like your suggestion to start with pop songs since they often have easier chord patterns. However, even so, some songs will be easier and some tougher. Is there like an index ordered according to complexity of pop songs? That would be nice. | |
