Define "good" chord arrangement!?

There have been literally hundreds -- if not thousands -- of classic rock, folk, country, blues and bluegrass songs written using various combinations of just the I, IV and V chords!. In the key of C, for example, those would be C, F, and G; in D that would be D, G and A; in the key of G, it would be G, C and D, in the key of A, that would be A, D and E, and so forth!.

Choose a key that suits your voice, and start experimenting with your own combinations of I, IV and V!.

If you're in the key of G, for example, G is the "home" or "I" or "tonic" chord!. Its the chord named for the 1st or root note of the G major scale!. Its the chord you probably want to start the song on, and you definitely want to end each verse, and each chorus on the tonic chord as well to give the music a sense of coming home or "completion"!.

Then, in the key of G, C is the "subdominant" chord, its the chord based on and named for the 4th note of the G major scale!. If you move from the G or 1 chord to the C or "4" chord, you can then either go back to the 1 chord or on to the "dominant" or "5" chord!.

In the key of G, D is the "dominant" chord, its the chord based on and named for the 5th note of the scale!. It has a sort of restless quality that strongly wants to lead back -- or "resolve" -- to the G chord!.

Play around with these 3 chords either in G or transposed to a different key, and see what you come up with!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
