Hey LGM fam... I know alot of chords in every key but i don't know how to use them in a groove or movement i just play around with them all time...
You first need to get a pattern for your chords. If you are familiar with theory, then u already know the music zip code: (7)-3-6-2-5-1-(4)
For a nice & simple groove, just make up a 3 or 4 chord pattern that sticks close to the zip code above, and loop it. For example:
time count in []
[1,2] 4
[3] 3
[4] #5
[1,2] 6
[3] 5
[4] 1
(repeat)
Pick a key and play around with the bass notes. Once u can play the bass good with that rhythm, then add in some chords. Here's an example in C:
Key C LH/RH
F / A-C-E
E / G#-C-D-G
G# /
A / G-C-E
G / F-Bb-D
C / E-Bb-D
(repeat)
That's all u gotta do man. Once u get good at theory, u will be able to come up with your own chord patterns. The bass notes will get u there, and the chords are an added bonus to make the progression complete.
