Generally, downbeats demand harmonic consonance or dissonance in the form of suspension, and upbeats can either be dissonant or consonant. So, this iron ration of harmony lore might take a while to digest. But if nothing else, I hope you learn to think of harmony in a new way. The time for vertical, pitch-obsessed harmony is past. Think horizontal, think time.
Time is the backbone of all music.
