Overview
How to Write Chord Sequences will help you write better songs by explaining the art of effective chord progressions. It shows: How three or four chords can lay the foundation for a simple song. How to move on to progressions using five and six chords. How to fit your chords into verses and choruses with different numbers of bars. How to color your chord sequences by adding chords that are not strictly in key, including blues chords. How to use chord sequences in minor keys as well as major keys. How to take your songs into new territory by changing key. How to fine-tune your chords by unlocking the emotional potential of sixths, sevenths, and ninths. How to Write Chord Sequences is illustrated throughout with more than two hundred practical examples and accompanied by audio examples of full songs in a variety of classic styles that bring to life the techniques covered in the book. There's no need to read music because each example is notated in easy-to-use chord-name style, with a selection of guitar chord boxes gathered together at the end of the book. Fully revised and updated throughout, this book complements Rikky Rooksby's other Backbeat songwriting titles, including the bestselling How to Write Songs on Guitar, How to Write Guitar Riffs, and How to Write Lyrics. With this sourcebook in hand, you will never run out of ideas with which to start a new song. Book jacket.
