Hahaha. I'm so musically sensitive to errors that any slight one would reduce my momentum. Really I'm not as good as professionals who are good in covering up immediately there is an error. But sincerely just knowing the chords is not all but its really knowing what comes next. Apart from that A part playing chord Bb/G (G bass line and Bb chords) was really pleasant to my hearing.
I would sincerely appreciate it if you guys share more .amr or .mp3 files of how you play praises with the split function. No be Ariaria o, I mean correct Western. LOL.

Hehe! 'twasn't really an error per se. It's something I just thought of trying.

The mp3 or any other file will come Later. The Procedures for Joining the musical department of churches here is something else. And I don't have a personal keyboard.

Karleb:


I noticed the awkwardness too but since it's gameboi and Dramadiddy endorses it, who am I to say otherwise?

That apart, as time goes on the ear will get used to it, the last time I checked, music is solely based on tension and release.


I'll go check them out, you should try out "smoothchord" too, they major in scoring songs.

I was talking about your video turned audio.

Yea, I wanted a bit of tension in it. Most times I play a III7#5 chord for a bit of tension. It just depends on Preference.

I'll visit that site too.

You won't believe if I tell you that I've not gone to church.

Karleb:


I'm good. How's Uyo and your single?

Uyo is cool.
Hehe! Which single?

I wanted to recommend PianoClub House to you. Ever heard of it?

Visit their Youtube page. Those guys are good.

EzePromoe:

I had to quote this because this is really what I can relate to. I do play on the key of F and C also with a bit of F# , Bb and G. I tried what you posted on my piano but that of C-E-G-B/A was sounding out of place to my hearing. Please if possible you can give any song that correlates with those chords. I still have more questions I would like to ask as we go on. Thanks.

L L
I was hoping no one would notice that. It sounds awkward 'cos of the B note. The B note doesn't belong to the scale of Fmaj.
You need a lot of confidence when playing it. See ehn No look anybody face when you try that chord. Just play it #LikeABoss.

I hail oh. How have y'all been?

Karleb, how far now?

zbone:



seriously, you don't know what mo, fe, zi are?
e be like say na julliard you learn piano

No, before now I didn't know what they were.

I learnt how to play the keyboard on my own. I can only recognise the notes by sound not by name.

By the way, who's julliard?

Dramadiddy:
di/de is a sharpened do/flattened re, mo is a sharpened re/flattened mi, fi/fe is a sharpened fa/flattened soh, zi/ze is a sharpened so/flattened la, tau/toh is a sharpened la/flattened ti.. U get me now?

Okay. I understand you now.

Dramadiddy:

I don't know what mo, zi, fe is.

Karleb:


Ok.

But wharrabout the 7th in a 6minor you were talking about?

Yea. The dom7 is allowed.

I'll try to post an audio of how I added it to a song later.

The Summary for your style of play in One word is... WICKED

You Love harsh chords.

This is what I wanted to share:

In the key of F( F G A Bb C D E F), the minors are G A D.
As usual, one would expect the G(being a minor) to be played as G Bb D(or in any of its inversions). Well, I just discovered another way of playing minor chords to give them a new feel. It's by Substituting the Minors with a Maj7 chord.

Rather than play Gmin as G-Bb-D, use the major of Gmin and add a major 7th to it.

---

The major of of Gmin is Bb. Therefore Gmin should be played as Bbmaj7( A Bb [D] F ).
The Combination then becomes, Bbmaj7//G D(i.e Bbmaj7 chord with the right hand and G D on the left)

Same thing applies to Amin. The major of Amin is C. Therefore Amin should be played as Cmaj7(B C [E] G). The combination then becomes Cmaj7//A E.

And for Dmin, the Major of Dmin is Fmaj. Therefore Dmin should be played as Fmaj7( E F [A] C). The combination on both hands becomes Fmaj7//D A.

NB: the notes in square brackets are optional

Cc: Karleb, Zbone, dehero1, et al.

Drammadiddy welcome back. I know you know what I posted already. So there's no need to refer you to it.

Karleb:


Seriously, nothing.

hehe!
It means that you can sneak in some of those notes in brackets when Improvising. It's allowed.

Karleb:


Where you take get the 7?

L L
You see? I talk am.

Take a Look at this:
Cmajor Scale = C D E F G A B C
Cminor Scale= C D (Eb) F G (Ab) (Bb) C

What do you notice?

Karleb:


You are right about E and A, I only play them when I have to.

BTW, do you play minors too and other scales like modes, bepob, diminished, whole note and all those brouhaha?

the truth is, I use them without knowing.

If I'm playing in a particular Key(F# for Instance), I tend to borrow notes that are in the scale of E(Like A) or its minor.

All those borrowed notes belong to either the Minor, Mixolydian, et al.

By the way, do you know that the 6th of a major scale is actually a min7 chord? 'cos I'm sure you only see it as an ordinary minor chord.

DeHero1:


Pls which one is 'vamp' again?

vamping means playing a particular set of notes Repeatedly for a particular phrase in a song.

zbone:

I know what circle of fourths is, Its probably the way you wrote it out that didn't make me understand you.

okay.
Do you understand it now?

DeHero1:


Thanks Bro... it's really delicious interesting.

you're welcome .

Karleb:


Do you vamp?


But this one that you are postponing the video like Nigeria's election, hope we are safe sha?

Yea, I vamp. But it's usually with two or three notes.

Hehe! We're safe oh. It's only a matter of time.

wetindey11:
Pls does anyone know any free software dat can en enable me to merge mp3 music & overlap d end of end of one track to d beginning of another track?
Thanks in adv

try Accoustica Mp3 mixer.

zbone:


I didn't get your circle of fourths idea though

Circle of fourths is playing fourth of the fourth.

In Key C, the notes are C D E F G A B C. The fourth of C is F.

Then in F, the notes are F G A Bb C D E F. The fourth of F is Bb.

In Bb, the notes are Bb C D Eb F G A Bb. The fourth of Bb is Eb

Therefore, playing in Circle of fourth, starting from Key C is C-F-Bb-Eb-Ab-C#-F#-B-E-A-D-G-C.

Understood?

Pr0ton:



Lol. You can play how many keys?

I can play all keys, it's only a matter of fluency.
I can play C# D Eb F F# G Ab Bb B.
I didn't mention C 'cos It's too straightforward. I hate it. E and A are A bit complex, I only play them during worship.

Karleb:


@gameboi it seems what you just wrote applies to any key of a scale. So when moving to any key at all one can play the very key before it as a diminshed7 and the key after it as a minor or major if the key is minor, right?

something like that.
The rules I posted apply apply to any key.

Hey guys!
I have something to share with y'all. It's on Chord substitution, substituting Majors for minors.

@Karleb.
Abeg, don't be vexed yet. Postpone the vexation till April 1st. Abeg

@Pr0ton
You're referring to passing chords.
There are different ways of moving to the fourth of anykey. I'll just give a li'le recap.
In moving to the fourth:
+ Play a 3dim7 chord.
An instance is when moving to the F from any note on key C, you can play Edim7( E G Bb D) before moving to Fmaj(F A C )
+ use circle of fourths.
Before moving to F note on key C, you can play the fourth of F. The fourth of F is Bb(I.e F G A (Bb) C D E F ). Therefore, you'll play a Bbmajor chord (Bb D F)
+ play a Vmin chord.
You could as well play the Gmin chord before moving to the F major chord.
Example. C- G- (Gmin)- F. Gmin is G Bb D.

Try them out and give me a feedback.
