Question:
okay.. if a mod will move it to the appropriate place or tell me where it is then close this thread that would be most awesome.. okay so here!
I'm writing a song.. i start off with Dbm then move to a Abmaj then to a Bmaj then i need another chord.. i don't know where to go to make it sound right....
i need suggestions..
i didn't put this is songwriting because it's all full of lyrics.. mostly bad ones... and yes i post some of mine there too (they're pretty bad as well)...
Answer:
Theory and Technique. You could move back to Dbm... or back to Ab... or to E.

Answer:
don't like Dbm or Ab... i want a 4 chord progression.. and E doesn't nearly begin to do it.. think of it as a soulful dark almost ballad... (but the song is sarcastic and supposed to be humorous...)
1st verse
It takes longer
for empires to fall
than it takes you,
to put your makeup on
And we're always
late for double dates
we're the couple,
that everyone hates...
chorus
but i promise if you hurry
to buy you something
expensive and furry...
I'll take you dancing
i'll listen more
whatever it takes
to get out the door...
don't have a second verse yet, but kinda think almost like a blues ballad or like house of the rising sun or something like that...

Answer:
Try figuring out the notes in your vocal line and figuring out the chords accordingly. I just noticed that on my praise and worship team, the chords always have some reflection of the vocal line, and it's an underlying structure to the song.
Answer:
