A Epic Borrowed Chords — I – bVI – bIII – bVII
The A I–bVI–bIII–bVII progression (A – F – C – G) borrows chords from the parallel minor to create an instantly cinematic, heroic atmosphere. The contrast between bright and dark chords is powerful. With sevenths (AMaj7 – FMaj7 – CMaj7 – G7), it becomes even more grandiose.
