HOW PRODUCERS USE CHORDS

More Emotion.
Better Progressions.

Chords are the emotional foundation of a beat. The right chord type can make a loop feel dark, bright, smooth, gospel, cinematic, dreamy, or aggressive.

01

Major Chords

Use major chords for bright, confident, clean, uplifting, and stable musical ideas.

02

Minor Chords

Use minor chords for darker, emotional, moody, cinematic, trap, R&B, and introspective ideas.

03

7ths & 9ths

Use extended chords for richer R&B, gospel, jazz, soul, lo-fi, and emotional color.

04

Suspended Chords

Use sus2 and sus4 chords to create tension, movement, and unresolved emotion before landing on major or minor.
