Altered & Borrowed Chords: Advanced Music Theory & Songwriting
Hey! I am Mark Black and welcome to expertvillage.com and we are going to be talking about the advanced theory in song writing. Another thing, we have non-normative chords, the chords that do not use notes in the scale and secondary motion are chords that are driving us to certain place, another kind of non-normative are called altered or borrowed chord and altered or borrowed chord do not drive us to any particular place, they just sound unusual. Here are some examples, a minor 4 cord, and a lower 7 chord. I am doing this I am walking down…that D cord, I am in the key of D… that is a C chord, C2, that is not in the key, the C is not in the key of D, but we hear that sound and we go that is unusual, I like that sound, but on the other hand, we do not really know where we are going to go with it. That is what we will call it, a secondary, not a secondary but altered or borrowed chord, meaning it pushes us, it is unusual, but it does not direct us to a certain place. So those are the two primary kinds of non-normative chords and what we are getting with that is unusual sounds to add to our normative sounds.
