I could need some help writing my music. I'm still pretty new to writing music. And I have a love for progressive rock such as Yes and King Crimson. But, I'm struggling to come up with music? Any help?

Okay, the question is, do you have any experience in music? If so, what kind and what instrument(s) do you play?

Great! So I'm assuming you know quite a bit about chords and progressions right?

Yeah, of course! I've made some, but none of them were very spectacular.

Nope, never heard of it. I know what scales are, if that's even related.

Okay, the universal scale system assigns each note of a scale a number and stacks them into chords like this

 

CEG - I

 

DFA - ii

 

EGB - iii

 

FAC - IV

 

GBD - V

 

ACE - vi

 

BDF - vii^o

 

CEG - I

So all of those chords will "go together"?

You can put them in order to make a progession like this

 

I-V-vi-IV

 

This translates to

 

CEG-GBD-ACE-FAC
