Not only for jazz lovers. I use them a lot, too. I like music theory in general. May I talk a little about it? I will just stick to the main aspects, which I think are pretty important. I hope, I'm not talking shit. I know, this will be just a little part of the whole music theory. So let's start.

The main scale is the major scale, everything comes from it. If you build triads over each of the 7 notes of the major scale, then you get 3 MAJOR CHORDS (I, IV and V), 3 MINOR CHORDS (II, III and VI) and 1 DIMINISHED CHORD (VII). But just using those triad chords is a little boring, so I suggest to use chord extensions as well. And now, that's interesting. We just take a look on the chord extensions, which are notes from the major scale.

For the 3 MAJOR CHORDS, the best extensions in my opinion, are the major second, the major sixth and the major seventh as natural chord extensions, with the exception of the V, which has a minor seventh. They usually don't need to just act as suspended notes. They make your boring triad chords sound much more interesting and beautiful!

For the 3 MINOR CHORDS, the best extensions in my opinion, are the perfect fourth, the minor seventh and the major second, with the exception of the III. There would be a minor second and this does only sound good when acting as a suspended note.

For the DIMINISHED CHORD, I don't know, which extension would sound best, because I usually don't use diminished chords in my songs.

So here we go, these were my thoughts about music theory. I hope you could understand, what I was talking about and I hope you liked it.

... wouldn't be anything special anymore, if there was a recipe for it.

I guess, as long as you can try to find the solution all by yourself, you won't find any pity.

... the most beautiful job can be annoying, when you aren't allowed to have a break.

To those, who wondered, where the hell I had been gone, I really want to say sorry! I just had been thinking, that my news posts were really stupid and so were some of my songs. By the way, I had been constantly unsatisfied with my username, not only because my parents didn't like it. I know, I should have become a supporter, so I had been able to change my username and I really wanted to become one, but there was a message, which told me, that I would not be able to pay with paypal, so I finally decided to first leave newgrounds and tell Tom, that I eventually consider to sign up again someday with a different username. And now: here I am again, I hope I will enjoy my second stay here with newgrounds and all of you. Thanks for reading this and until later.
