When a landscape artisan wants to get the essence of a finelooking scene, they make a quick pencil sketch of it.

The artisan doesn’t want to represent the entire landscape as it is, but as they feel it to be. A few lines scribbled here and there indicate the sensations the artisan wishes to convey. We musicians may do the same thing! We may speedily sketch out our ideas on paper by using chords and a chord chart.

A chord chart is just a way to notate when chords modify through time. You may write out 8-bars to commence with (as I do). Now let us suppose you have the urge to capture something musically. What do you do? Well, for starters, you may pick a key to compose with.

For example, let’s choose the Key of C. Now after resolving that, we know that the piece will have a Major sound to it. We also recognise that we have 6 chords to develop with from the C Major scale. With these indispensable conclusions out of the way we now may focus on notating our musical ideas and capturing a mood. Here’s how I do it:

I commence by just improvising and letting the music come out naturally. For example, I play a C Maj. 7 chord and I like what I hear. I’ll write down the original 2-bars of the melody, then place a chord symbol on top of the chart so I now have the musical idea in place.

My goal is to finish charting the 8-bar phrase with chords all the way through. Once this is accomplished I have the introductory division of music. If more is to come, I plainly write out another 8-bar phrase and keep adding more music.
