FL Studio – Music Theory – Chord Progression Based on an Adjusted Circle Of Fifths



Common chord progression based on an adjusted Circle Of Fifths. This is based on A minor. The Circle always moves: Up by 4 steps of the scale Or Down by five steps of the scale Not always by a perftect fourth (5 semi-tones) Not always by a perfect fifth (7 semitones) Hence the occasional tri-tone (6 semi-tones) to keep within the notes of the scale (Aminor) Note: Chord E (Chord 5/Chord V) is played as Major to create a nice “VI” Candence to end the progression.

    Hey how are you playing the keyboard? Do you have a keyboard controller?

    @habbtrillion it’s 93 I think ^^

  3. addeex1 Says:

    @xcheesyxbaconx Yeah if you count on the high-hats they are in tripplets so they hit 140 times per minute, otherwise this is like 90

  4. xcheesyxbaconx Says:

    I know for a fact this is 140 bpm. I just used a metronome and found it. It is the default BPM when you start a new project in FL Studio.

    No. Dominant 7th chords are presented in shorthand: G7, C7, (GBDF, CGB-flatF). Nothing extra. It’s important to know “what” we mean by dominant 7th. This is a clear progression. It needs to be transposed to every key, if listeners REALLY want to learn it. Since it is based in A minor, you start there. I’d do it chromatically, at first (easier). A to B-flat to B (all minor keys). This takes patience. Write out the progressions, every key. No staff paper needed. peace

    Hi,

    Yes, but whenever a chord is not a min7 or maj7 or min7(b5) I always write it as G7 or E7 or whichever letter7.

    I need to check if there is a 3 letter abreviation for dominant (dom?).

    I’m not sure?
    Thanks for bringing this up.
    peace.

    the g (5th) should be a domanint no?
