Harmony and chords is probably the most complex part of music, but this course will teach you some basic tricks to get you composing chord progressions straight away.

It starts with the basic chord patterns in ‘in key mode’ like diatonic progressions, 3rd and 4th patterns and more. 

After, we touch on progressions we look more in depth at chords and chord types like major, minor, 7ths and how these are constructed in key mode and chromatic mode. 

Finally, we demonstrate some tricks you can use for making chord progressions quickly using Ableton’s built in midi and Max/MSP plugins.
