But more importantly there is no such thing as "unnatural" or to be avoided in art (and music is art). It seems that you are experimenting with things outside of the standard template most people use. If it sounds cool do it. | |

| Jul 18, 2018 at 16:57 | comment | added | Todd Wilcox | Such switches are common. Possibly the most famous example is "Norwegian Wood" by The Beatles. The F major chord at the end of the verse just switches directly to F minor right at the beginning of each chorus. Musicians experiment all the time, so I don't understand your last sentence. In fact, I would characterize the music writing process as being largely a process of experimentation. | |
