Members BrokenSpades Posted March 12, 2017 Author Members Share Posted March 12, 2017 V chords mean the number 5 chord or the chords that number 5 note chords can lead to ? which number is true in this pic ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 1001gear Posted March 12, 2017 Members Share Posted March 12, 2017 All those Roman numerals are function numbers. They mean the chord built on that position in the scale. The V chord has a dominant function and has a tendency to move to I or VI. You can technically go to any chord from the V chord but for traditional music this will have to lead back to the I chord; usually within a few measures or less. This stuff is actually way more technical than your question but it's hard to explain without the theory behind it. Have you covered major and minor scales?

Moderators daddymack Posted March 12, 2017 Moderators Share Posted March 12, 2017 'OR' means either or any of the options listed.Although the 'for dummies' book may make it seem like it should be simple, there are rules that get broken all the time, and theory that can be bent...
