If you play a major triad and a minor triad to most people, and you ask them which of the two is more 'tense' and less 'happy', then the overwhelming majority will tell you that minor triads are more tense.
So it stands to reason that if you want to create more tension in your chord progressions, you should use more minor triads and less major triads.
This is a clear, reasonable, even obvious deduction... and it's wrong.
Why?
Because it does not take into account that the quality (major or minor) of the chords is not the only factor that determines tension.
Another important factor for instance is how the chords in the progression relate to the tonic chord in the key.
In this video we are going to see how changing two triads from minor to major (counterintuitively) can substantially increase the tension in a chord progression - and how you can do it too in your music
In the process we'll also learn about the Neapolitan chord - this is a 'secret weapon' for songwriter, and it is worth watching the video if only to learn about it ;)
