Ill come straight to the point........im confused regarding chord progressions and on how to make one!!! ive been able to understand all the theory that goes behind in determining chords out of a particular scale such as for a major scale its kinda like
I ii iii IV V vi VII*
now i found these so called formulae at a website
1,4,5,1
1,2m,3m,4,5,1
1,3m,4,5,1
1,2m,5,1
1,3,4,2,1
1,b7,4,1
1,b3,4,1
1,4,b3,b7,1
1,6,2,5,1
6m,4,5,6m
1,6m,2m,5,1
1,b7,b3,4,1
1,b3,4,b7,1
1,5,b7,4,5,1
1,4m,b3,b7,1
6m,1,2,4,6m
Although i do seem to understand these formulae to some extent but i cant understand the FLEXIBILITY associated with a particular progressional formula.....heres where the confusion is;
1. Do we actually need to STRICTLY follow such formulae or is it ok to strum out any sequence of chords? (i.e chords avaliable for a particular key and scale)
2. If these formulae do hold true, do we simply plug in the respective chords in the exact sequence or is there any other SCIENCE associated to it?
3. Can we imply multiple formulae for a single progression??? (if true then again whats to be done about the sequence and order of chords :confused: )
PLEASE HELP ME OUT OF THIS CONFUSION REGARDING CHORD PROGRESSIONS AND ON HOW TO MAKE ONE!!!! if you have any good reading material or links plz let me know..........but id love to have my 3 questions answered first before i jump into any more theory cuz i think ill only end up more confused if i go on like this!!!!
so kindly help me out of my confusion id be grateful,
Shapi
