[C] Let's take a look at the chords and progressions used in the [C#] song Love on [A] Top by Beyonce.
These [D] progressions used in the song are some of the most [C#] popular progressions used in R&B music.
[D#] So let's take a look at this.
This song is in the key [C#m] of C major.
So [F#] let's examine [Am] the bass line to the song [C#] because it will [C] give us some insight to the
DNA of the song.
So this song is in the key of [C#] C and it first starts [Bm] on a I chord.
So [C#] some type of C major chord.
So of course the root note is going to start out on [C] a C.
Okay and from there it's going to go, the second chord is going to go to an F sharp.
[F#m]
Okay now in this case, this F sharp is resolving [F] to the F which is the IV of the key of C.
But anytime you hear a I chord [F#] going to a sharp IV [C] which in this case is the F sharp
going back to the IV, this F sharp represents the [F#] tritone of C.
And we talk a lot about tritones.
In this case, [Dm]
here's my II, [F] V, [Em] to my III, to [A] my VI,
[F]
[Em]
[D] then it does that little melodic
pentatonic lick, then it [C] goes back to the top.
Very easy pattern but this is one that you need to learn in all 12 keys because so many
songs use these chord progressions exactly like this.
So [E] this is not the first time [C] we've heard these patterns and these progressions in R [D#m]&B.
So let's take a listen to it again.
One, two, ready, play.
