The SongCraft Pack

III: The SongCraft Pack

UPDATED: April 12th, 2020 v1.4

I wanted to create the perfect starting point for songwriting. There's plenty of guides, software, and apps to help with this task, but none of them displayed everything that I wanted to see at once. Rather than just starting with the basic seven diatonic chords used in each key, I wanted to see ALL the triad options for every mode. Secondary Dominant and Secondary Leading Tones are included. These guides also quickly show you how each mode has altered the original chords once the scale has changed. All 24 possible keys are covered. Hit the button below to download the whole pack as a single multi-page PDF.
