A chord map is a diagram that maps how the chord progression for any song actually works, visually revealing the nature of its effectiveness—or lack of effectiveness.
Use chord maps to map the chord progressions of your own songs, or songs you’ve heard that intrigue you.
As you’ve seen in this chapter, you don’t need to know how to read or write music notation. Chord maps are easy to sketch and will save you a lot of time while providing you with some real insight on how to create palatable-sounding chord progressions for your own tunes.
