    I was intrigued about phrasing .
    I searched wikipedia and there was something about cadence.
    It seems that knowing a resolution chord in this scale like CDG could solve all problems in forming a musical phrase. But some people don't want to compose something so nursery as "Yellow Submarine".
    I would really like you to go ahead on this subject of chords , scales and phrasing.
    Not that I want to be a composer, I just want to solve some problems in my mind since I was kid.
    Any musical instrument gets me tired and music does not go in my family blood. I just don't how I got intrigued about phrasing.
