Chords That Go Together

The seven chords of a major key, their three jobs of home, away and pull-back, four progressions worth stealing, and how it all shifts in a minor key.

What's inside

• The seven chords of a major key by degree, quality, and what each one does, shown in C, G and F
• Three jobs, seven chords — tonic, subdominant and dominant — and how harmony travels between them
• Four progressions worth stealing: the four-chord song, the fifties turnaround, the jazz cadence, and twelve-bar blues
• The seven chords in a minor key, plus three habits — borrowing, keeping the common note, and fitting chords to the tune
