How to Create Unique Chord Progressions
Give Any Harmony Some Added Musical Flavor & Spice Using Chord Progressions
By Oluwayanmife Akintola | in Online Courses
This course will teach you how to create unique Chord Progressions through the use of a technique that is called Chord Substitution and through the use of Passing Chords and Secondary Dominant Chords. Chord Substitution is a technique that involves using a particular chord in the place of another chord in a Chord Progression in order to create variety, interest and hence add colour to the original Chord Progression.
