Harmony and chords 1 for Ableton Push

Introduction on how to improve your understanding of harmony and chords on Ableton push

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 ‘key mode’ like circle progressions, diatonic progressions, 3^rd and 4^th 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 effects.
