Harmony, or the chords that support a melody, is an important element of music, and sad guitar chords and chord progressions are required if you want to write sad and emotional music.
A chord is a collection of notes performed together, whereas a chord progression is a series of two or more chords played in succession.
Every chord expresses a different feeling, and some chords are sad, dark, or depressive in nature. In this lesson, we’ll look at five of them.

When a chord is seen in the context of a chord progression, it expresses emotions more clearly. A chord progression may even contain chords that, when played individually, sound happy or bright, but when played as part of a progression, sound sad. In this lesson, we’ll look at five different chord progressions that convey sad emotions.
However, as you’ll see in some of the examples below, this is not a hard and fast rule, and major chords and chord progressions in major keys can be utilized to portray sadness as well.
There aren’t dissonant intervals within this chord, but it has the other three elements present: a minor third, a low voicing and an open string.

The chord becomes dissonant as a result of this. This holds true for both sus 2 and sus 4 chords, though sus 2 chords tend to sound a little sadder.
Note that a 9th interval is the same as a 2nd interval, but played an octave higher. The difference between an add 9 chord and a sus 2 chord is that in add 9 chords, this interval does not replace the minor or major third as it does in suspended chords. Rather, it is “added” to the triad that already exists.
In simple words, the A minor add 9 chord contains a minor third and a dissonant ninth, both of which contribute to the chord’s sorrowful feel.

The minor 7th (b5) chord, also known as a half-diminished 7th chord, is formed when we harmonize the 7th degree of the major scale or the 2nd degree of the natural minor scale.
It is more usually utilized in minor keys and has an empty, depressing sound. The second sad chord progression in the next section makes use of this chord type.
A minor 9 chord differs from a minor add 9 chord in that the seventh degree of the scale is also included in the minor 9 chord.

Though each chord evokes a distinct emotion, the emotions shift when the chord is part of a progression. For example, “happy chords” such as major might be used in a progression that conveys sadness.
Note: If you don’t know how diatonic chord progressions work, I suggest you go through the linked lesson first. For the purposes of this lesson, I’ll presume you’re familiar with the Roman Numerals that describe the chord’s function in the key.
Minor is the place to start if you want to convey sad emotions and this chord progression can be used to create a depressing feeling with the music.

Though songwriters who aim to communicate sad emotions commonly choose minor keys, chord progressions in major keys can also be unhappy and emotional.
The following chord progression uses three major chords and one minor chord, however the transition from the first (C) to the third (Em) degree of the scale is the saddest you can obtain from triads in a major key.
Despite being in a major key, this progression, also known as the minor plagal cadence, borrows a chord from the parallel minor scale of A, where the chord on the fourth degree is minor rather than major (D minor instead of D).
