Mihan

It really depends on the melody that you have. You just want to find the chords that go best with it and sometimes that'll end up being a bunch of different chords. This ended up happening for a song that I wrote where I wrote the melody before the chords. However, a lot of popular music is written with only 4 or 5 chords. Take Creep by Radiohead for example. That entire song is literally the same 4 chords in the exact same pattern for the entire duration of the song and it's in my opinion one of the best modern pop songs.

Hi, My name is Mihan. I'm an aspiring singer/songwriter from Toronto. I love music but haven't had much time to devote to it due to work and school. I do have a few songs that have been sitting in the back of my head for years that I'm finally getting around to finishing. I've been looking for a community to share my original work and get some honest, constructive feedback and to listen to other people's original work. I hope this is the right place!
