Emelia Hi Tom,

What can’t you go to D minor instead of G major when you are harmonising The Saints?

You've pretty much guessed where I'm going in my next post however :-) I'm enjoying your blog by the way Tom Hi Stephen,

Absolutely you are right, but this post is about using just the primary chords. You’ve pretty much guessed where I’m going in my next post however :-)

When you say, however, "The D on the other hand isn’t in in our C chord, and it falls on a strong beat, the first beat of a bar. Therefore we need to change. Which primary chord has a D in it? G major (GBD)," I tend to disagree. I think that's very appropriate for pre-Romantic classical music, but, for instance, Avril Lavigne's "I'm With You" has a I, ii, IV progression in the chorus, and each of the notes is a non-chord tone, even on the strong beats. But I suppose you're talking on a basic level. Thanks for that. Most people (like myself) start assuming the readers know more than they do.
