Tension vs resolution....
Any good sources? I find I'm resolving, then repeating instead of tension, repeat then resolve. Suggestions welcome.

Maybe a few more details or examples?
Generally it's an ear thing worth exploring over chords one scale tone at a time, if I understand what you're asking. Rather than just tension, spend some time with resolving specific tensions. I worked on some of this stuff in a jazz context out of a method, and it was about practicing and learning to hear specific 2-1 or 7-1 resolutions etc... There's a lot to be done with "extending tension" compositionally, or in terms of improv, with the use of arpeggios as well. Analysis of great melodies is a great strategy too.

Lots of tension and release theory stuff on the internet.
However I mainly am just listening. When you listen to an tune, especially one that is new to you, can you be listening and predict what the next chord will be, and if so can you distinguish when the draw to a rather specific next chord or note (likely the resolution to a tension set up) is very strong and compelling? Occasionally for extra impact the resolution is delayed temporally or even left out with a build up another tension set up (more likely in some classical music than in pop music I would say. If you start to readily hear this stuff by ear you're getting somewhere.

If you play succeeding "away notes" over a given chord, you basically get something like a second arpeggio. So, Am arpeggio is a "tension source" for G major in a sense. You can practice resolving Am arps to G. ....All over G of course....
Different from viewing tensions one note at a time. Last edited by mattbn73; 10-29-2018 at 06:29 AM.

Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La, Ti... and then leave the room. The tension would continue to build and Mozart would become so agitated that he would jump out of bed to resolve the tension: Do! And he was up for the day.
