Seriously, take d step. We, especially me, will appreciate. I told u last time that I appreciate videos more that audios. But I don't get this one you're always saying u wanna stay anonymous. For how long?

trust me, i ll do something this sunday

bxcode:
Am not conversant enough with the theory aspect.

but u know ur major chords(d m s) and minor chords (r f l) ?

thnk God ure alive...was already sad for a moment yesterday

k4kenny:
looks like its fraudsters at work here, but then again we can't always jump to conclusions. I'm currently on the site. They have about 2 aaddresses, one at ikoyi, the other at ajao estate. This is their link to d address 484.ng/ContactUs.
Also tried the phone number on the site; doesn't exist. Something isn't right here.

hmm detective kenny

Elegbede205:
wait this also applys to keboardist abi??

yes and every musician

Elegbede205:
wow so i have to learn every song the person is gonna sing that day or sing after that day if i want to play the guitar...not making sence atol tho

ure shouting..na dis tin dey make pple fail audition..u have to know songs...what is hard there?

zbone:
noooo... its about sharing knowledge with people o and trust me people will appreciate it. I know people who aren't as good as you, but they still post stuff on YouTube. it will be really NYC if u can see it as another means of developing urself. Its something I'm looking into myself.

hmmm okay sha

zbone:
yes u do o. we need more Nigerian pianists on YouTube giving us a naija perspective. I don't get to see many of them who really share good stuff.

lol sometimes I think I'm not up to the task thats why I just stayed on nairaland where I'll b anonymous

Elegbede205:
lemme shoot it straight.

How do you kno the chord progression to use when playin in a church mayb during praise?

U have to learn the song from someone

zbone:
thanks. I will try to use these ideas. hopefully I can come up with the right questions. you're the best.
how about a video on YouTube?

yeah I ll definitely do somethng..I guess I have a lot of videos to make now yeah?

Elegbede205:
Hello keboardist.

Erm if a guitarist wana backup in a church or a band or even anywhere.how does he get the chords to use?
Is it the porpular 1-4-5 or some kinda sequence?,(if so) in what key?
Thanks guys,awa guitarist thread in not really functionin like that.

sorry the question is not clear

zbone:
yeah, I just took a proper look at the chords. I couldn't make some of those stretches on the L.h though. I like the voicings, they sound really open with the fourth chords on the R.h. do you have like examples like on what bass note I can use any of these chords and what chord it will usually resolve to?

any minor can work for the 2,3,5,6,7 nd sometimes 4...the dominant can work for the 7,6,5,4 and 3 while the major can work on the 1,4 and sometimes 6...that one of what it will resolve to, i seriously dont knw hw to explain it thru writing

zbone:
yeah I've seen them. its just that I have been quite busy recently, I haven't been able to study the chords and fish out the fourth chords in them. when I do, I'll let you know.

i did that already, just look at the right hand chord

zbone hope u got the chords I sent to you

kilokeys, if you say ure really good on the guitar, move to lag now..they pay hundreds of thousands for your work yu know...and im sure u know how it goes, no be 8am-8pm job

Greatomotoy:
@gameboi and dramadiddy i need more highlife tune to add to my arsenal

tune?

bxcode:
Sir, u just ended up confusing me the more

hws that confusing?

bxcode:

Well I can't really say much becus am still a rookie, started learning it on my own and it messed up my fingering real big, have managed to re address that with the help of a friend, I can only handle key C comfortably and a bit of F. I can play rhythms and solo to some extent. But the aspects of C#, F#, chords etc are still a bit confusing for me. What do you suggest?

Lol u aff work to do...u have to start practicing how to run ur chords of the major scale like

C//C E G
D//D F A
E//E G B
F//F A C
G//G B D
A//A C E
B//B D F
C//C E G

Then do this same thing for other keys, also play their inversions too...if u get speed well..u should be done in two weeks...you will know how to play all your keys perfectly!

zbone I got some chords that have fourth chords in them, we have(On C) :

1) Dom13 : C G Bb E(hope ur hand cn stretch for this E sha),//A D G
b) Dom13 : C G Bb// E A D

2) Domb13b5b9 : C G Bb E//Ab Db Gb

3) Dom#9#5 : C G E//Bb Eb Ab

4) Min13 : C Bb Eb// A D G

5) Minb13 : C G D//Bb Eb Ab

6) Minb13b9 : C G Db//Bb Eb Ab

7) Minb13#11 : C Gb D//Bb Eb Ab

Minb13b9 : C G Db//Bb Eb Ab

9) Maj13 : C G B//E A D

10) Majb13b5b9 : C G B E//Ab Db Gb

Am very greatful, dis is very edifying n I've learnt alot.Wat does circle of fifth means? Sorry to bother u

its a series of fifth intervals...Im sure u know what intervals mean, a circle of fifth means...the fifth of C is G, the fifth of G is D, the fifth of D is A, etc until it takes u back to C(tthats why its a circle...its also used to create progressions for songs, rock songs especially), we also have circle of fourth...all u do is just apply the same method i used fr circle of fifth, the fourth of C is F, the fourth of F is Bb, etc

zbone:
yeah I understand the theory behind them.. I just need tips on how to use them. its funny u say u don't like them, I think they sound jazzy. I guess everyone has their own taste, style.. like u always say. however I would like you to share those examples when you do get them, thanks.
yeah, I can create extended and altered chords.

start with creating extended minor and then dominant chords, when ure done..take a chord first, fish out its notes and see if a fourth chord is in it, do that for other extensions/alterations

waiting fr your question/contributions to the thread bxcode

zbone:
fourth chords

Ok of course you know fourth chords are chords which the notes are a perfect fourth apart, In study of structure of chords, you'll find out that some of the chords have fourth chords in them or maybe they're scattered and you have to arrange them and get your fourth/quartal chords, I would hve loved to give examples but I don't hve them off hand, Cos I dont really use them...their sound doesn't seem appealing to me...I ll add that to my list of upcoming videos, but you know how to create extended and altered chords right?

jeeezz im so sorry about ur loss ma...please take heart and be strong...God is with you

zbone:
guys, do any of you use perfect fourths in your playing? if you do, how do you use them? I'll like us to discuss abt dis thanks.

By saying perfect fourths, you mean circle of fourths or fourth chords?

Yedo:
Thankyou sir for opening up to help me.My question is about deminished chord, I know it but I don't know how to apply it in a song. Deminshed chord is gotten by lowering the third and fifth notes by a semi-tone. How is it applied in a song?

a dim chord is one of d popular passing chords...its used to create a transition to either a maj or min chord.....for example : on key c...if i want to mve to my 6th degree(la), the dim chord that will work is E//F Ab B
E//Ab B D
Which will lead u to :
A//E A C

If im on Emin, and I want to play a nice transiting 6th(la) chord to take me to Dmin, i can use :

A//Db E G or
A//E G Bb or
A//G Bb Db

Which will lead to :

D//F A C.

The last one is when moving from F(fa) to G(so), in between that F and G, U can use

F#//C Eb Gb or
F#//Eb Gb A or
F#//F# A C or
F#//A C Eb

which will lead u to either

G//G B D

or

G//E G C(in the case of this chord, you will still have to play the chord above after playing this one below before going to Cmaj)


Sorry for the late reply, was really busy...Hope I answered your question

Yedo whats ur question
