Hi there! smile.gif

Right now I am supposed to write a song in pop/rock style, but after going through different keys I noticed that standard keys aren't the best choice for that kind of songs. Do you know some good chord types (e.g. Major7 etc.), that fit into this type of music?
I'm not sure whether I've asked this before. huh.gif

Thanks for your help! smile.gif

Clapton does 12 bar blues along with diatonic major/natural minor harmonies. There are songs where he uses modulation and changes keys (like Layla, Tears in Heave etc).

Listen to his music, write down the chord progression and try to analyze it. See what comes from where, which scales can you use to solo, what is melody doing against harmony etc.


Hope that helps
