Writing and Producing Songs: using the Songwriter Chords and Scales Book

If you don't know every scale or every chord but still want to learn to write songs, or even write songs without learning scales take a look at our songwriters scales and chords dictionary:

songwriter scales and chords book

This will show you exactly how scales and chords are related and which chords you can use. Let's do a simple songwriting example using the C major scale.

If you look at the page you will see many possible chords. But only the ones you can use with a scale are high lighted.

A song in C major could use the following chords:

C major
D minor
Fsus2
G6/9
A5
Bm7b5

Just to name a few.

Mu by Amanda

How would I use chords when writing a dance tune??? I was hoping for abit more indepth of how to structure a dance tune using chords, chordal stabs etc. . .

Mu by Tom

I agree with Amanda. An example showing how one would construct a dance /techno song with a chord sequence would be really helpful

Mu by Tom

How would one play 'Bm7b5'? I've tried to look at the songwriter scales and chords book, but this shows guitar tabs rather than piano tabs. Help.
