Cinematic

A mix of many chord types, using the "Electric Choir" instrument, which sounds like an ethereal string section and slows the tempo.

Neo-Soul

grade

Mainly minor ninth chords. Super interesting harmonic changes, using borrowed chords from parallel key.

Simple Pop

4-chord loops using the I, IV, V, and vi chords. Many of these will be very common progressions.

Simple Minor

i, iv, and v chords only: common in styles like 'dark R&B'. Can start on any chord; therefore, the key may be open to interpretation.

Borrowed chords

Major progressions with some modal mixture, including: ii°, bIII, iv, bVI, bVII.

Secondary Dominants

Major key seventh chords with some secondary dominants: V7/ii, V7/IV, V7/V, and V7/vi.

A very different-sounding set of chord progressions. A bit like Breath of the Wild ambient music.

Ear Trainer Lessons:

Lesson 1

Each progression is I-IV-I or I-V-I. Therefore, the goal is to determine whether middle chord is IV or V.

Lesson 2

The I, IV, and V are the most fundamental chords in functional harmony for the Major scale. Each loop will start on the I chord.

Lesson 3

Adding the first minor chord: vi. The vi chord functions similarly to the I chord. Many of these will be common pop progressions, for example: I-V-vi-IV.

Lesson 4

Now, the ii chord has been added instead, so each progression can contain: I, ii, IV, or V. The ii chord functions similarly to the IV chord.

Lesson 5

The vi chord is added back, so each progression can contain I, ii, IV, V, or vi.

Lesson 6

Can contain I, IV, V, or iii chords. The iii chord is thought to function either like the I or V, depending on context.

Lesson 7

vi chord added: each progression can contain I, iii, IV, V, or vi.

Lesson 8

Now, the ii chord has been added instead of the vi, so each progression can contain: I, ii, iii, IV, or V.

Lesson 9

All diatonic chords: I, ii, iii, IV, V, vi, and vii°. When you master this: congratulations!
