Hi All
I appeal to the composers/arrangers out there... your expertise is called for...
Does anyone have some hints regarding Chord Progressions et al.. As some of you may know, the other 'love of my life' is my Korg Synthesiser. Now, although I am not really a keyboard player, I am making good progress with several arrangements/compositions I'm working on at the moment. These are "musically" simple with very few complex phrases within them. I am wondering though if anyone has any hints as to music theory - especially with regard to chords of all types and how they work together to produce interesting cadences and nuance's etc...
Is this just 'ear', or are there rules that need not necessarily be followed to the letter, but that need to be understood in order to produce the musical effects and colours I hear in my mind but am unable to replicate on a keyboard.
Your thoughts/ideas most appreciated.....
John
