What guitar chords sound "happy" to you?

Question

My friend and I are writing a duet together and we want to see what yhe public thinks are "happy sounding" chords!

Thanks. <3

Answer 1

Any major chords-c major, d major, and so on. There are too many to name. Look in a book of chords and anything that doesn&#039;t have and m (minor) after the name of the chord is one from the major scale. Good luck!

Answer 2

any major chords are going to sound &quot;happy&quot; and minor ones are going to sound &quot;sad&quot;

Answer 3

Generally, any major chord is going to sound happy

my favorite &quot;happy&quot; sounding chords are D major, E major, and A major if that helps : )

Remember in writing the song though, the occasional suspended chord might mix it up a bit and add more flavor than using just one type (in this case the &quot;happy&quot; major chords) of chord. Hope that helps!

Answer 4

ummm i think is the F7 chord but im not sure. its the chord at the end of each verse in Under the Bridge

i love playin that one

but yea... C, D, F, B, Csus4

Answer 5

i don&#039;t think Major chords are always happy, come on Titanic sound track is major and it&#039;s sad oriented. However, Major chords are more successful to give you a &quot;happy&quot; atmosphere.

You can rely on the American model &quot;turn around&quot; C Maj/ A min/ F Maj/ G Maj, it&#039;s a popular cliché and out of it try to make chromatic variations, like going F, F#, G ... you know the rest, one on the rhythm and the solos should be altered notes and moves.

Best Luck
