FAQ's

🎹 Which 4 chords form the basis of countless hit songs?

Most popular songs rely on four chords: the tonic (I), dominant (V), relative minor (vi), and subdominant (IV).

  • In the key of C major, these chords are C, G, Am, and F.
  • In G major, the same pattern gives you G, D, Em, and C.
  • Listeners find it satisfying because the chords move smoothly from rest to tension and back.

A music production tutor can show you how to vary this sequence with inversions, rhythmic changes, or genre-specific tweaks.
