Guest tysen Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Any minor seventh chord, I'd say. tonic + minor 3rd + perfect 5th + minor 7th Invert it as you please.

Cryptowen Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Actually I'm not sure if I can think of a definitive "sweetest" chord because in my opinion it's all about context. Something that sounds totally sterile on it's own might suddenly become beautiful when used properly in a song (or vice versa). It's all about finding the song's voice. Well that wasn't very helpful at all...

Guest welcome to the machine Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 For me, major 7ths are still out of this world, and minor 9ths without the b7. Or a minor 7th with the b3rd in the bass. word. Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/58330-tell-me-the-sweetest-chord/#findComment-1384381 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cryptowen Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 When I'm writing tunes I tend not to think in terms of chords, but of two or more independent melodies on the same instrument at the same time, which happen to sync up as chords a lot.

wahrk Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 On 8/1/2010 at 3:55 PM, chassis said: Its all about the V-I baby. lol The love child of V and I? You mean I in second inversion? (Reeeaally want to write I64, but there's no way to put the 6 above the 4.) Also, I agree that M7 and m9 are good, especially inverted.
