I'm working on chord progressions and I need help with some theory.
So I start a progression and there are some that I know especially with the basic beginner chords that everyone learns how to play, but most of the time I'm just going along the fret board trying to find something that sounds good with the other chords i've already played. Trial and Error. Most of these chords you learn at the start are boring. You can only play them so many times before you feel the need to omit or add notes.
What I'm trying to ask is... There's limitless information out there that can tell me what my options are if I'm making a progression in the key of C. Well what if I want to use a chord like C#mno5addD or D/F#? Where do I find online or any kind of resource for using these kinds of chords? Or even better, what knowledge of theory do I need to understand to be able to know my options and build a progression without help?
