- Theory about chords

- Music Box

Chord = akkoord

A chord is 3 or more notes played together as one sound

Chords is like the glue of the band

Chords add the feeling of tension, more tension or  no tension "home" to the music

Why can't you play a chord on a recorder (=blokfluit)?

1. A recorder is not suitable for popmusic
2. A recorder sounds too high to play chords
3. You can only play 1 note at a time on a recorder
4. No one should ever play the recorder, it's awful
