Get a bunch of people together, put on some great funk music, and if someone complains, they aren´t your friend. Simple as that!
The combination of syncopated drums and bass, dominant 7th chords, pentatonic scales, and a tight horn section is universally irresistible
Interestingly, even though funk music is all about the groove, the chords that do show up are anything but simple.
All manner of jazz chords can be found in funk: 7ths, 9ths, 11ths, 13ths, altered chords, and chromatic movements are all common.
Dominant-type chords are favoured above all else, and of all the dominant-type chords, the chord that most screams funk is the 7#9(no 5th) chord.
Funk progressions in a major key are often based off the blues.
This means that the natural chords of the major scale are forgotten, and dominant-type chords appear everywhere.
Modal chords are also extremely common. This creates a mixture of major and minor tonalities.
Minor key progressions are usually more [weiterlesen…]

Off-beat hats, four-on-the-floor kicks, and punctuated bass lines – these are the elements that unite the myriad sub-genres of house music.
What began in the 1980´s as an evolution of disco and drum machines, has gradually evolved into one of the most popular styles of electronic music.

In most house sub-genres, and in both major and minor keys, extended chords play a huge role.
Chords with 4, 5, and 6 notes are not uncommon. Specifically, the inclusion of the 9th within a chord is commonplace – maj9, m9, add9, madd9, maj6/9, etc.
Modal chords also feature prominently. Anything that sounds sophisticated, complex, tense, or deep will work well.
A harmonic technique known as planing is also very common.
Planing occurs when a specific chord voicing is moved around in parallel.
In other words, you build the exact same chord on various root notes, irrespective of key or scale. An example: ||: Cm9 – Ebm9 – Fm9 – Bbm9 – :||

Pop – popular music – is both a meta-genre and a specific genre.
Whatever music tops the radio charts could be considered pop by definition.
The primary characteristics of contemporary pop include a strong focus on vocals, repeating song structures, simple harmony, and a fusion of acoustic and electronic elements.
In recent years, pop has borrowed heavily from hip-hop and electronic music in its structure and instrumentation.
Though extended chords are not absent from pop, there is no doubt that triads reign supreme.
Diatonic major and minor chords are used in almost every conceivable configuration.
Of all the chords used in pop, there are 4 that show up most often: The I , IV , V , and vi chords, derived from the major scale.
In terms of extended chords, maj7, m7, and add9 chords are the most common.
The same I , IV , V , and vi chords mentioned above will often be used but with these extensions instead of as triads.
You will see modal chords in pop on [weiterlesen…]
