Make a Valid statement when you choose your chords for that song! Use a Songwriting Technique

SONGWRITING TECHNIQUES.
Grunge type bands(Nirvana etc) generate compatible chords by modulating between Major and Minor.
WHAT?
Which Major and which Minor?
Well it's not obvious.
I've transcribed over 30,000 tracks to get here.
Lets manipulate the modes using a formula.
A common Grunge formula modulates between G Major and G Natural Minor(VI Mode of Bb Major)
or any Major key to a Natural Minor Mode of the same name
lets take the 3 major chords from G Major (G C & D)
and the 3 major chords from G Natural Minor(Bb Major)(Bb Eb & F)

The result is instant.You become King of Grunge! G / C / F / Bb / View the rest of this article
