Can a F chord be permitted in a song of G key?

Answer 1

Yes, an F major chord in the key of G major is just as common as C major.

Answer 2

Sure, during a modulation or as a pivot chord. Or, as an altered chord, or part of a non-diatonic cadence. For an example, listen to the end of "Nobody Does It Better," by Carly Simon. (I don't know if the song is in G, but it has that altered chord at the end - if the song were performed in G, then the chord would indeed be an F.)

Camille St. Saens, at the end of one of his orchestral compositions (I forget which one), uses an interesting device. The final cadence actually "glides" up from a flattened seventh to a diatonic seventh, then to the tonic. For a contemporary example, Emerson, Lake and Palmer's "Karn Evil 9 (1st Impression, Part 2)" is reminiscent of St. Saens's effect, although it's basically a glissando on the synthesizer on the very last chord. But the minor and major seventh are evident.

Answer 3

It all depends on the chords around it, but the short answer is heck yeah!

In Balkan and Middle Eastern music, there is frequently a cadence going from something like Fmaj to Gmin. It's called the subtonic.

In western (classical) music, you'd find it mostly as a modulatory chord...maybe something like:

G D C F G C CCCCC...C7 G Or whatever...

Answer 4

I agree with the rest. Try chording an E, an F, and then go home to G. Beautiful!

Answer 5

Yes... Dude, get yourself a book on guitar theory... It will show you all the relative chords for any key...

Answer 6

Yes, being the seventh of G not very common in classical music unless it's going to G minor, in jazz most likely used to modulate to G as noted earlier F,F# to G

Answer 7

No. It's absolutely forbidden. If you dare play one, the harmony police are going to show up and drag your *** to musical prison.

Don't even try it ...

Answer 8

Absolutely - esp in jazz
