Harmony and Chords 1 for Ableton & Push

Harmony and chords are probably the most complex part of music, even so this course will teach you some simple theory and tricks to get you composing chord progressions straight away. It starts with 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 chords 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 plugins.
