Hey! I am Mark Black and welcome to expertvillage.com
and we are going to be talking about the advanced
theory in song writing. Another thing, we
have non-normative chords, the chords that
do not use notes in the scale and secondary
motion are chords that are driving us to certain
place, another kind of non-normative are called
altered or borrowed chord and altered or borrowed
chord do not drive us to any particular place,
they just sound unusual. Here are some examples,
a minor 4 cord, and a lower 7 chord. I am
doing this I am walking down…that D cord,
I am in the key of D… that is a C chord,
C2, that is not in the key, the C is not in
the key of D, but we hear that sound and we
go that is unusual, I like that sound, but
on the other hand, we do not really know where
we are going to go with it. That is what we
will call it, a secondary, not a secondary
but altered or borrowed chord, meaning it
pushes us, it is unusual, but it does not
direct us to a certain place. So those are
the two primary kinds of non-normative chords
and what we are getting with that is unusual
sounds to add to our normative sounds.
