Here's how country is growing more experimental in its chord structures and why it matters.
But in the current environment, the genre's key, signature sound may be undergoing a minor adjustment.Nine might be on the high side, but the truth is that country is growing more experimental in its chord structures. Standard three-note triads are subtly giving way to more complex four-note chords, and songwriters are increasingly likely to inject a flat or a sharp into a chord that bends it ever so slightly out of the key signature.
The"weird," or unsafe, chords often heighten the sense of tension and release that makes music work. The major seventh guitar intro in Old Dominion's new single,"Never Be Sorry," spikes a standard chord with a hint of dissonance.'s"I Should Probably Go To Bed" uses a major three chord, injecting a sharp note from outside the key signature that practically begs for resolution.
"The tracks are still obviously very prevalent and should be because they're fantastic," says songwriter."I love writing with track guys, but I think you're also getting more guys, when they have a day to not write with a track, they're maybe getting a little more adventurous musically."
