Hey whatsup guys?
I think I finally gotten to that level of what phrase determines what chord I play. And thanks to JonR he had understood or notice this forumla of what chords to play over what particular phrase before I did in my thread called: "Over Anaylsing". All in all, JonR had it correct the way he was doing things like determine what chord progression based upon notes per beat. I had it the opposite way around, and to get to my point is that I thought that the note you start on, in your phrase, would be chord you begin with and note you land on ending your phrase would be chord you end with. But thanks to JonR that was totally wrong it was opposite way around and that way was that the note you begin with in your phrase would be the chord you end with and the note you land on ending your phrase would be chord you begin with. I know it maybe confusing but trust me this idea from JonR works! And it works like this... for instance lets take the key of C (it's an easy key to learn this concept in)
Key: C Notes: C D E F G A B (no sharps or flats)
1. C = C major
2. D = D minor
3. E = E minor
4. F = F major
5. G = G major
6. A = A minor
7. B = B diminished
Now remember the numbers and chords in the scale because this is imporant of what I'm getting ready to say.
Now, okay this is how it works and I will give several examples of this concept. Say if I played in my phrase C, D, E, F, to G. Now okay, pay close attention none of the in between notes matter except for C and G - the note start with and the note you end with and rest of the in between notes are passing tones. Starting to make a little sense? Okay, so the note we started with, which was C and we ended with the note G; therefore, we have two chords based from off the scale degrees C major as your 1 and G major as your 5, but here's the trick how do I know which one comes first in my chord progression? Glad you asked! JonR concept tells me that the note I start with would be the chord I end the chord progression with, and the note I land on or end my phrase with would be the chord I begin with in my chord progression. So lets take a look at what's happening; therefore, I conclude that the progression fits this phrase C, D, E, F, to G perfectly would be an G major > C major chord progression. Makes sense? Lets take another look we started out with note C which was C major the 1 and we ended with the note G which G major the 5. I will emphasis this again until you got it down JonR says the note I start with would be chord I end the chord progression with, and the note I land on or end my phrase with would be the chord I begin with in my chord progression.
I'll give another illustration! Lets say the phrase was A, B, C, D, to E. Now okay, pay close attention none of the in between notes matter except for A and E - the note start with and the note you end with and rest of the in between notes are passing tones. Okay, so the note we started with, which was A and we ended with the note E; therefore, we have two chords based from off the scale degrees A minor as your 6 and E minor as your 3. JonR concept tells me that the note I start with would be the chord I end the chord progression with, and the note I land on or end my phrase with would be the chord I begin with in my chord progression. So lets take a look at what's happening; therefore, I conclude that the progression fits this phrase A, B, C, D, to E perfectly would be an A minor > E minor. Lets take another look we started out with note A which was A minor the 6 and we ended with the note E which E minor the 3. I will emphasis this again until you got it down. JonR says the note I start with would be chord I end the chord progression with, and the note I land on or end my phrase with would be the chord I begin with in my chord progression. Always remeber that rule!
