![]() ![]() What the actual progression is, where its leading, what was intended, and even things like what is the basic key is, depends on a whole lot of other factors though. I'm a novice when it comes to music theory but I find chords fascinating and I'd really like to improve my understanding of harmony, so let me know if I'm on the right track or if I'm barking up the wrong tree.Īs a very general rule if any two chords have at least one note in common with each other, they'll sound like they belong together. What do you think?įor those more proficient in music theory than me, help me figure these chords out. The song Misty uses the Vmin7 chord within a secondary 2-5-1 in order to set up the IVmaj7 chord.īut when it comes to Where This Flower Blooms, I'm not so sure this is the context it's being used in. Typically, such a chord serves the role of secondary dominant. V's diatonic quality is dominant, so why is min7 being used? But why the quality of Maj7 in particular? (My assumption: Because VImin7 and bVIMaj7 have two common tones, but I wonder if it goes any deeper than that?)įinally we have the Vmin7. But that's okay because it's being used as a passing chord right between VI and V. The next chords are where my questions arise. ![]() It's just the diatonic 6 chord (Or 1 chord if we're thinking of this as being in the parallel minor). In that context the chords are as follows: When listening to the song, E Major (or Db minor) seems to stick out to me. My first guess was the key of A Major (Diatonic 3 - Passing Chord - Diatonic 2) but I quickly realized that this context didn't sound quite right. (EDIT: I think there might be a couple suspended chords in there too, not sure just going by ear) The chord progression goes: Dbmin7 - Cmaj7 - Bmin7 Why do these chords sound so good together? To my ear the harmony sounds kind of non-functional (? not sure if that's the right word) so I'd like to learn more about why these chords work. ![]()
