The colours
Every chord belongs to a family with its own colour, so you can tell how a chord feels before you play it.
- Major. Bright and settled.
- Minor. Darker, inward, a little sad.
- Dominant. Restless, wants to move home.
- Major 7. Soft, dreamy, wide open.
- Minor 7. Mellow and smooth.
- Suspended. Neither happy nor sad, waiting.
- Added. Familiar chords with an extra colour.
- Diminished & augmented. Unstable, dramatic, in between.
