With a good chord progression as your base, other elements of your track-like lead melodies or basslines-become much easier to come up with based on the chords you’ve chosen and where they sit. There are happy chord progressions, sad chord progressions, simple chord progressions and very complex chord progressions. But even simple, repetitive progressions of chords have the power to convey a complex array of emotions and musical ideas. One major, minor or diminished chord can’t do much storytelling on their own. A certain chord at a certain time in a chord progression can drastically change the narrative of your song from happy to sad or dark to light with one simple chord choice. They also play a big part in the narrative of your song.
From Beach House to Beethoven, chord progressions determine how a piece of music unfolds over time.
