So I’m currently messing around on banjo and discovered a beautiful cord and want to make a nice little song. A simple pinch pattern song
However the cord is a E minor 7. ( bar on second fret pinky 4 fret 3ed string ring 3 fret second string) Now I have no clue to what other cords to use in conjunction to add to the little song. I have no knowledge of music theory but want to make just a simple little somber song.
What other cords would you all recommend I try to make this one little cord actually turn a song.
If any y’all actually are curious to what sound and vibe I’m thinking I can post a snippet of what I got It ain’t much.
So with that logic if I wanted to go up my steps would be Em7 Am7 Bm7? I’ve never been able to grasp the concept of cord progression especially the concept of 7th cords and cord progressions other than reading music. Is It just a matter of going up the steps of the scale?
Dumb question but trying to experiment and write a little banjo song and have no clue to what will sound good.
