5 Chord Patterns for 5 Different Emotions 

0:56 Happy Chords 4:40 Sad chords 8:12 Uplifting Chords 11:10 Powerful/Aggressive Chords 17:00 Dark Chords

For chord writing: What i recomend you guys to do is download a favorite song with as few instruments as possible and a clear main instrument. I used Rihannas song - Stay. Then import that into daw. Then i put repeat region on for each chord pattern the song has and put on solo. Then i try to imitate each and every note each chord has by ear until i completed writing off the entire song by ear! - You can do it to! Its called Ear Training & is extremely useful! 👍

Tips for music making: don’t be afraid to go out of scale. There also is no right or wrong to music making. My favorite type of chords to end a progression are the c suspended and then g major, which kind of gives it that sort of Disney movie vibe.

it's so crazy how these smaller content creators can make really good stuff like this, it's real helpful, probably great for people experiencing writer's block as well

Hey everyone! What types of tutorials would you like to see more of this year? I'm going to stop taking month-long breaks and begin posting weekly stuff. Reply here and let me know what you want!

"Un-cheeseify the chord pattern" - Alex Rome 2021

I-vi-V-IV prolly my favourite happy and poppy chord progressions, it sounds heavenly when played on a guitar with some chucks and mutes.

Guys, remember that it's also important whether or not your progression is moving down or up in pitch. A chord progression that moves down causes the listener to feel sadder since the progression imitates a sigh and lack of hope. On the contrary, when your progression moves upwards, the feeling of happiness and motivation is underlined :D

What an incredibly likable and talented teacher.

that aggressive one was actually I, VI, V, VII and III chords as opposed to the II chord. Awesome video Alex. Your stuff is so helpful and inspiring.

what a joyful man , he makes me happy every time . I pray for your happiness and peace Alex

Great stuff! Although I'm no beginner when it comes to chord patterns, the TONIC note and the importance of that is something I had very little understanding of. I always take away at least one songwriting/production technique away from your videos regardless of whether I'm a beginner, average user, or advance in the subject. Thanks for what you do, Alex!

You are a wonderful teacher👍

Alex makes me so happy. Keep it up!

I think that I - vi - iii - V is an interesting progression since it sounds sad but is also in a major key. The Weeknd uses this on Save Your Tears and it just sounds so good

Hey Alex, great video as always! Just wanted to let you know that you can transpose any note/notes an octave up in Ableton by pressint shift + up. Hope this helps ;)

the best production teacher

First time I watched I get impressed and after many times, so after music theory is very very simple but helped a lot. It is like you playing 1-5 in i-v-iv-v happy chord v and IV major chord at C progression, and using 1-3 note kipping much closer as possible the hand movement, note that 3 note define if it is minor or major I'm many cases, puting up will enhance the sense of the note obviously. Second variotion: almost same chord, A is the relative of C major. So it will allow you to put Sad tendency melodies or major scale, vi-v-iv-v progression, has you see for me doesn't exist sad chord it depends in where you came and go, there're all tendencies, if you go through left direction you get black, sad feeling tendencies a bit up is like you are living that situation, as you see at I, second and 3 variotions when the chords go up and down, you can make happy chords with sad tendencies or happier tendencies, Third emotion: iv-v-iv-i as you see the most important notes are iv-v you can variate the way you want to feel and the note I or vi( relative). So when you add the main chord witch is C it make the chord sound like the same with a bit of variotions, this determine the distance of the notes, so jumping to the last chord just want to let you know that the 3 such major chord note used Has changed the way after diminished because it is minor now, it is an instable dark note tendency, so in fact for me doesn't sound good, when you play in high note it is trying to convence you. So there no rule in music if sound good to you it is good to you.

Okay but your comment section is so helpful, knowledgeable, and sharing.

Thanks for the tutorial how to make the emotion music🥰
