Weekly Chord Progressions 01/01/2011 The chord sequence in this issue was created using
the chords in the Adventures in Harmony Course. The sequence was created in
less than 5 minutes. We will
publish this issue weekly with a complete explanation of how the sequence
was created. HERE IS A CHORD PROGRESSION
CREATED FROM SCRATCH USING OUR PATENT PENDING SYSTEM!!

In this
issue we are going to create a Bass chromatic run with a constant melody
suspension.
We are going
to hold a note in the melody, and while we hold this note, we are going to make
chord changes where the bass note descends chromatically. We are going to play
different chords for every different bass note.
It is
completely arbitrary which note is selected as the melody suspension note or
where you start on the bass note.
In this
example the suspended melody note is going to be a (Gb)
and we are going to start with a Bass note of (C).
We are going
to play a chromatic bass line descending all the way down to (E).
So we will
have the following bass line
(C), (B), (Bb), (A), (Ab),
(A), (Gb), (F) and (E)
We could
have continued with the chromatics all the way down to (Db)
but we just choose to stop at (E).
This
progression is in the key of (Db), and the first
chord is a (C) chord. In the key of (Db) this (C) is
a [Maj VII].
So our progression down to the (E) is as follows:
[Maj VII] - [VII] - [VI]- [#V] -
[V]- [bV]-[IV]- [III] - [-III]
Just so we
can end this progression gracefully we skip down to a [I] chord. This would be
a (Db) chord since we are in the key of (Db). We could have ended this progression anywhere and just
skipped down to the (Db) to end it. You can always
end any sequence on the (I) chord.
All of the
chords in this sequence have the [VI] as the suspension, The [IV] in the key of
(Db) is a (Gb). So all of
the chords have this (Gb) on top.
All we have
done is picked random chords from the course from the voicing reference volume
from the chapter on harmonizing on the [IV].
We just happened to pick chords that have a bass note that corresponded
to each one of notes in the chromatic descending sequence.
The sequence
that we created is just one of an infinite number of possibilities with our
course. For each bass note, there are probably 10-20 different possibilities so
no two musicians will come up with the same sequence if they were trying to do
the same thing.
The chords
in this sequence were created using the following two chord voicing reference
volumes:
