Hey guys,
was just wondering if any of you have any methods of figuring out other producers chord progressions or notes? I just think a lot could be learned if these were somehow available. I my self don’t come from a musical background and have taught myself the basics of chord structures ect. But I really struggle trying to copy other producers “sounds” if you know what I mean :crazy:.
Seems to be you’ll find guitar tabs very easily on the internet, but try finding chords and notes of dance songs and I seem to have real trouble.
Any thoughts?
start pecking at notes and seeing how they sound. I would start out with three note chords… thats what a chord consists of… three notes.
i don’t currently have it with me as i loaned it to a friend but maybe someone could post up some of the popular chord progressions from the dance music manual for you.
*edit
there are loads of midi files about, check out this for example:[url=http://www.nonstop2k.com/community/midi_index.php]http://www.nonstop2k.com/community/midi_index.php[/url]
they are amateur transcriptions, but mostly very good!
