FL Studio Chord Progressions Revised

[thetopgun4you]

Is there any format to arrange chords?

[Burninatorxzy2443]

@thetopgun4you Yes, you can arrange chords in a block form or you can voice lead them. Block chords mean you just plays the chords in their original positions. Voice leading means you keep the notes as close together ass possible, so inversions then come into play. Many artists do combinations of these two ways to create chord progressions

@Burninatorxzy2443 Thankz a lot, this will help in future.

[Recycled]

Misleading title! He didn't revise anything! :-(

[Funmichi]

Why are two half steps used in scales? what is the background?

[CEWAbenteuern]

A little tip for everyone: Something else that would help is using inversions on those chords.

Hey man i really apreciate your tutorial, it helps me a lot! but I didn't understand clearly how it works the diagram ( I'm better writting english than speaking it, because it isnt my native language)

[Burninatorxzy2443]

@shakepuig1 The diagram is a useful tool that applies to every scale. So if you wanted to make a song in the key of E, you could use this diagram to map out the available chords in E and know what chords you can play.The trick is the diagram makes sure all of the notes are in the key of the root note.

[Burninatorxzy2443]

@shakepuig1 essentially pick your key on the left side of the chart, pick the kind of chord progression you want, and then go across horizontally and read the chords and put them in

@Burninatorxzy2443 Thanks a lot :)

Additional common chord progressions (for anyone reading wanting to know more) include the ii-V-I progression, and the iii-vi-ii-V-I progression. I personally like to use the I-IV-VII(dim) progression as well. Thanks for uploading this, man, it's vital knowledge that's too often overlooked by too many producers.

[Burninatorxzy2443]

@Jack0Milde thank you for your contribution appreciate it :D

Do you always have to use a standard 4 bar progression? Could you note use a 1-4-5 but like not all one bar each? Could you not have 8 half bars or something instead?

[Burninatorxzy2443]

@AlpineViking91 8 half-bars IS 4 bars, but no, you don't have to have a chord every 4 beats. I just did that for convenience. You could do a dotted quarter note 1 chord then an eighth note 5 chord or something. It's entirely up to the creative element in your head. 8 bar lines are standard for drums so it's easier to make a rhythm that eds on the eighth bar, but it's a guideline, not a law.

[quasardnb]

i think you are wrong with the most common chords :)

[Burninatorxzy2443]

@quasardnb explain



[quasardnb]

@Burninatorxzy2443 its just my hubble opinion. i think that these progressions aren't the most common :)

[Burninatorxzy2443]

@quasardnb well more and more people aren't using them there is a video showing the 4-5-1 chord progression in all of these popular songs. It's getting old so musicians are looking for fresher chord progressions

[newtonbasson]

awsome this is exactly what i have been trying to learn

[0freedenn0]

Thank you man!

[TigerStrikeX]

[pepperc0rn]

Thanks heaps bro, this vid has been very helpful!

[OverDoseDRecords]

Thanks. I want to learn the chords. =.=

[Burninatorxzy2443]

@OverDoseDRecords There are a lot chords, just all of the chord names or their formulas. You can create every chord using the method above of the chart, or if you go to 6notes . com, there is a giant encyclopedia of chords to see. Also, just in case you didn't know, FL Studio has a chords option in the menu of the piano roll, where you just pick the chord you want and put it on the root note.
