In my never ending quest.....


In my never ending quest for world domination, I have begun to wonder about the power of the "four note progression" or the "four chord songs". It's stupid really, but kind of eerie at the same time. The universal draw that this same four note progression has shown up in so many different songs, spanning time, genres from hip hop to jazz to pop to reggae to metal to rock to whatever else.... People are drawn to it. And the masses are drooling over these songs by sometimes mediocre artists who happen to come across the "holy grail" of note progressions that seems to draw attention because for whatever reason, people are able to groove to the rhythm of a certain tune...... Why?I mean, everyone "resonates" at a different "frequency". There is no arguing that we have all come across people that we can "groove with", as well as people with whom we can't. We don't necessarily know why, but it happens.
And yet we have these four notes, in a certain progression. It could take on a different tone, but the "frequency" but the progression of the notes is still the same none the less....It seems to span across the many genres of music from opera to rap to hip hop to rock. From the renaissance to modern times.
What is it about this pattern that draws the masses?
I believe it may be the key world domination for me.... It seems rather unfortunate that I lack any kind of musical skill or talent or singing ability to try and bring any of my plans to fruition...... Further explorations and investigations into this will need to be made...... TO THE INTERWEBS!!!!!!!!
