List of chords that resolve to other chords?

Anyone suggest where I can find a list of the chords that resolve to other chords?

Wow - many thanks for the detailed reply... I feel much more enlightened now. BTW, the reason for my question is that I'm often working out guitar arrangements for songs where it's easy enough to work out the basic chord sequence, but I'd like to take it a step further and add some "tension" chords in, resolving to the final chord in the phrase. I will experiment with your 5th 7 suggestion.

Wonderfully helpful. Thank you. (Thanks to everyone for the other replies too). On playing around with your suggestions and looking for other possibilities, I noticed that an easy way to create a sometimes-appropriate filler chord is simply to play the augmented version of the following resolving chord. I realised this after reading my piano theory book (The Do-It-Yourself Handbook for Keyboard
Playing by Shanaphy and Knowlton) which describes how old-time silent-movie accompanists would play an augmented chord whenever danger was present - to create suspense.

In a chapter on chord substitution the same book mentions polychords.
I've started experimenting to see if the polychord concept can be applied to the guitsr. It lead me to realise that if I want a chord that sounds like a combination of Em and an Amajor, I could play:
022220 (which is actually A(add9) or E6sus4, I believe.

Speaking of which, I rather like the sound of this chord. A similar-sounding one is the sus2 chord. I am often substituting Em amd
Amajor with Esus2, even when it's the final chord in a phrase, because that often sounds nice to my ears, ever since I heard the intro to
"Castles Made of Sand" by Hendrix..

On each progression map is a way to get back to home.

A lot of good answers here, but the infamous Circle of Fifths might help you out. Do a Google search on Circle of Fifths and theory for some tips.

The traditional rules of cadence state that:

· The I chord can move to any chord

· The II chord can move to any chord except the I

· The III chord can move to any chord except the I or the VII

· The IV chord can move to any chord

· The V chord can move to any chord except the II or the VII

· The VI chord can move to any chord except the I or the VII

· The VII chord can move to any chord except the II or the IV

That's very useful - thanks!

Sorry; I was talking rot; it was the diminished chord that the silent movie pianists used to create suspense, I think...

I'd like also to know how to figure out which chords other than 7th chords that make good unresolved chords for any given basic major chord. ... things like diminished chords, add9 chords etc., etc...
Is there a rule for this too?

Just been delving into a music theory book for piano players. It mentions how one can use the circle of fifths to choose "Passing chords" and "filler chords" to insert prior to the final chord in a phrase. It seems to

For example, S. Calder responded to my earlier post about tarting up the "happy Birthday" song. He propsed:

...which sounded great to me... then he also figured out you could change the final G chord to C6...G
I think the C6, in this instance is an example of what my piano theory book calls a "filler chord". It's an unresolved chord which resolves nicely to the G, yet it doesn't comply with your 5th note rule. Maybe it complies with some other rule? If so, I'd like to know about that rule too! If Stephen C is reading this, perhaps he can comment too..... (thanks Stephen!)
