In this post, we’re going to focus on major scales.Ī major scale has seven notes, and each of these can be used to create a 3-note chord called a triad. Harmonic functions are always relative to a scale. Let’s look at one such concept that can shed light on how chords relate to each other: the concept of harmonic functions. In reality, there are many such frameworks, but none are perfect (particularly when it comes to popular music).īut it can still be helpful to learn some of the fundamentals from traditional music theory, even if they were tailor-made for European classical music. Many songwriters look for a framework that explains why certain chord combinations work and others don’t.
Why do some chord progressions seem to tell a clear story and others just meander?
