    Why are Minor Chord Songs so rare?

    May 26, 2021 /

    It's not unusual at all to find a song that only uses major chords. But songs that exclusively use minor chords are actually quite a rare find. Even when you do find a minor-only song they rarely offer much of a chord progression, generally sticking to just a couple of chords, if that! So why is it so hard to write a song that only uses minor chords?

    Songs that don’t have a chorus

    May 16, 2021 /

    It’s easy to assume that any given song will feature a chorus, and that we will hear that chorus three, four or maybe five times during the song’s duration.

    Songs That Use Augmented Chords

    May 13, 2021 /

    Augmented chords are certainly less common than your typical major, minor and seventh chords, but that doesn't mean they aren't useful! Despite their apparent dissonance when heard in isolation, when used tastefully, augmented chords can create ear-catching, highly cohesive chord progressions.

    Pop song lawsuits seem to be a weekly occurrence now, but since when was being inspired by another song an infringement of copyright?! Today I take a look at songs from One Direction, Green Day, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Portugal The Man and many more, that have definitely drawn from other classics but haven't been sued yet.

    10 Beatles Hits That ‘Rip Off’ Other Songs from David Bennett Piano. The Beatles were certainly innovators and trailblazers, but they also did their fair share of borrowing from the musicians who had come before them. Most of the time these liftings were harmless homages, but on occasion wearing their influences on their sleeve wound the fab four up in legal troubles!
