Post Chord Progressions
Lately I've been coming up with a lot of stuff like this. Play through it and see how it sounds.

[code]Intro

lA---lAma7---lA---lAma7---l

Verse


lA---lE---lF#mi---lD---l
lA---lE---lF#mi---lB7---l
*
lD---lDmi---lE---lE---l * Root 5 "C style"

Chorus

lD---lC#mi7---lD---lF#mi7---l
lD---lC#mi7---lBmi---lBmi---l

Verse

Intro to end it[/code]
For the intro, strum 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and. So pretty much 1/8th notes, but chords. Kinda do the same thing for the rest, unless there are two of the same chords, .ike the two E chords before the chorus and the two Bmi's at the end of the chorus. Let them ring out or something.

For the E c style chord, play an open C chord, but you can move it up and down the fretboard, by barring what would be open strings with your index finger, then forming the C chord with your middle, ring, and pinkey.

I have lyrics written, but they suck, so i'll be making some changes, then posting them maybe.

So, whatever.

What's wrong with that? I'm pretty sure F# is in the key of A.

Fuck. F isn't in the key of a. for some reason i wrote that out. Those Fmi's should really be F#mi's. my bad.

A lot of stuff always sounds like pillows songs. Like the F#mi to B7 makes me think of the worst song ever. My beautiful sun(irene). and the D, Dmi, E, E, reminds me of swanky street.

Would this be what they call [i]inspiration[/i]?

I'm studying a lot of jazz stuff. I like to get all sexy in minor pentatonic. And the feel of Cadd9 just feels so . . right. I can strum it all day. Cadd9 can do me no wrong, oh.

I am pretty sure I proved you could use minor pentatonic for just about anything.

But I can always write a jazz song using all pentatonic scales.


And I hope you realize...

No Blues = No Jazz

The first half of that song wasn't minor pentatonic. And when you switched, it got all bluesy.

And how does no blues = no jazz?

Last time I checked, blues and jazz are totally different genres of music.
