These notes are the foundation of chord structure in Western music. When we learn chord theory, we look at the 1st, 3rd, and 5th of the scale. You will achieve the haunt.Ĭhromatic scale for chord building. Look for flat 5ths, major 3rds, and keep everything just straightforward minor. So, generally, don't look for 4th intervals and 5th intervals in your chord movement. We want our bodies to initially reject it, and then succumb to it.

We want unresolved, mysterious motion that does not settle us into any kind of comfort. If you go G minor to D minor, that will sound contained in a-yes, sad-but a familiar way. If you go G minor to C minor, that will sound kind of 'minor folkie'-not what we want. For example: If you have G minor (a fine, sad, spooky chord), look for a chord that is outside the G minor world for your second chord. What's unrelated? A chord that is outside the diatonic family of your first chord.

Take a minor chord and then combine it in motion with an unrelated minor chord.
