sometimes when I writing a song I will be figuring out what chords go next and I have the exact sound of the jazzy chord I want to play in my head but im not very well versed with jazz chords and I don't have perfect pitch, plus when I just play around on the keyboard to figure out the notes I always end up forgetting what the chord sounded like, and I just end up disappointed and frustrated because I know exactly what I want to hear but I don't know how to play it. any tips for figuring out the chord playing in your head?
start by learning every song you know, but especially the ones with more regular chords (probably most of them..... Most songs have regular chords). just learn all those songs, and then try making some up. then learn more songs. then try making more up ...... this pattern will lead to greatness i'm sure
