Cycle Chord Progression (improvising)

This page illustrates how the notes of the key relate to the cycle chord progression in C Major. Recognizing how each note will react to the sound of the chord will inform you on how to resolve melodies and how to build melodies in general. I break down the notes into three categories:

  • Notes than blend
  • Notes that blend with the chord that are not part or the chord
  • Notes that conflict
