Pivot chord modulation in pop music!

[timmyk]

Hello,

 

can anyone give me an example for a pivot chord or common modulation in modern pop music? Meaning a modulation where the dominant of one key gets turned into the tonic of the key it's modulated to.

 

Thanks in advance!

A pivot chord is a chord common to both keys...it doesn't change from one type of chord to another.

I've only seen dominant chords acting as the tonic chord in blues and jazz.

Okay! Thanks. I thought so too. Any examples for a jazz/blues standard that contains that kind of modulation?

I don't know any...but there probably are some.
