Normative Chords: Advanced Music Theory & Songwriting
Hey! I am Mark Black and welcome to expertvillage.com and we are going to be talking about advanced theory in song writing. Okay, in the basic song writing we talked about the normative chords and they are based on the notes of a major scale, building a major chord on the first note and minor chord on the second, minor chord on the third, I mean major chord on the fourth, major chord on the fifth, minor chord on the sixth and diminished chord on the seven. That means practically speaking that if you are in the key of C, C major, D minor, E minor, F major, G, A minor and B diminished and just to mention it, if you ever heard someone talking about the Nashville numbering system that is basically what this is except they would use Arabic numerals as opposed to Roman numerals. So the normative chords we talked about in the earlier basic song writing section are the basic, they are using only notes in that scale to build chords and let’s write a song or talk about a song. Here I am going to use only those chords, and I say, “you are mine until the end of time, fascinating and amazing". What sounds interesting about it, it sounds real, it sounds genuine, and it is only using chords that are using notes that are in the key we started in, it sounds normal.
