Karleb:
@gamboi, how are you doing?

Bro I've got a question, for instance I'm playing on the key of Fmajor which automatically makes my fmajor7 chord F A C E, so if I'm going to play my bflat7 chord and I'm still on thesame Fmajor key will it be Bb D E F or Bb D F A?
a Bb7 chord is Bb-D-F-G#. While a BbM7 is Bb-D-F-A.

Is this explanation for me or it's just to settle the duel between Dramydidy and Gianno? undecided grin
Anyways, it's quite helpful.
I forgot to add 'TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN'.

Karleb:

@in bold, why hasn't somebody put it in that simple term, huh?
because a Lot of keyboardists know it as Tritones.


Karleb:

...eerrm gameboi, warrabout the slash chord you said you'll give me?
I'll do that Later. I've been very busy.


Karleb:

One last question, why do we call it Tritones when the sound come from the combination of two keys?
it's TRI - tones. Meaning that the notes are separated by 3 whole steps.

The other names for tritones are augmented fourth or diminished fifth. There are only two tritones for any particular scale. And tritones are gotten by counting three whole steps from the present note. In the key of C, the tritones are C-F# and F- B. So, what's the argument about?

Giannakopoulos:
(1)Have you tried this on key of C while moving from III-VI chord,you play Bdim-(Emin#5#9)-F#dim7-G#dim7-(Amin7), F# & G#dim7 are accidental passing chords.(2)Apart from using dim & tritones as passing chords,can one replace them for the main chords,for instance,instead of playing G major(G-D-G//G-B-D) one substitute for its tritone(F-B//E-A-C#) or (F-B//A-D-F#) as the case may be(ie LH//RH).(3) what makes a chord have a dissonant sound for instance,the chord I'm should stay on is G(ie "soh" for key C) but I hear a dissonant,weird sound coming out instead of the very common,harmonious sound we use to hear,what do you think the keyboardist added to the chord to make it dissonant,& please don't tell he added a dom7 or maj7 bc I may not agree,I hope you understand my contributions as well as questions.
sorry for replying late. I actually saw your post but didn't read it fully. I only read the part with chord names. Your questions and contributions are fully welcomed. I'd reply you when I get back from church.

I actually have a thing for F# though and C# always come in handy.


Btw, Can we talk about tritones pls.
I hope you didn't see the previous post. I wasn't referring to you. By the way, you asked of tritones. Just observe dramadiddy and Giannakoupolos' post. I'll give mine later when I get back from church.

Just when I thought I was alone. cheesy


ssooooo, is fmajor your favorite key?
No. My favourite are the black Keys(C#, Eb, F#, G#, Bb).
Music/Radio / Re: A Thread For Keyboardists by gameboi: 5:55pm On Oct 10, 2014
Karleb:


You mean it's common for beginners to very familiar with key fmajor?
Not only beginners. Many keyboardists prefer to play in Fmajor.
Music/Radio / Re: A Thread For Keyboardists by gameboi: 5:05pm On Oct 10, 2014
Karleb:


F major of all time! I can even play it with my eyes closed. undecided
okay. Very Common.
Music/Radio / Re: A Thread For Keyboardists by gameboi: 10:00am On Oct 10, 2014
Karleb:


yeah! The basics!


Let's do the basics!?
1. V-IV(Cmaj)=> [Gmaj]-[Dmin]-[Fmajor]
2. II - V(Cmaj)=> [Dmin]-[Dmajor]-[Gmaj]
3. III- VI(Cmaj)=> [Emin]-[Emaj]-[Amin]
4. I- IV(Cmaj)=> [Cmaj]-[Bbmaj]-[Fmaj].
These are the few I can think of for now. I'll formulate the rest of these passing chords and post them here when I come in contact with any keyboard. I've not been playing and practising for weeks.
By the way, what's your favorite key?
Music/Radio / Re: A Thread For Keyboardists by gameboi: 6:52am On Oct 10, 2014
Karleb:


Why am I having the feelings that this passing chords things is wider than it seems?
Yeah! It is. There are passing chords when moving from the V - IV, II-V, III-VI, I-IV etc. These ones are the basics.
Music/Radio / Re: A Thread For Keyboardists by gameboi: 10:07pm On Oct 09, 2014
Karleb:


How about giving like two more examples so that I may know much about passing chords. smiley wink
I'll give instances of songs where passing chords were used.
1. Kirk Frankiln- Now behold the lamb{Bbmaj}: Fmajor Dmajor Gminor(that I may Live again).
2. Joyous celebration-In the shadow{Cmajor}: Dminor Dmajor Gmajor.(Confusion and Fear)
NB: the Notes in the curly brackets indicate the Key in which the song was played. The notes that are bolded indicate the passing chords. The words in square bracket indicate the place in the song's Lyrics where such passing chords were used.

This I know nothing about, care to explain?
Passing chords are like links between two or more chords. Some of them either give a calm and soothing sound while others give a rash sound. An instance is that Cmaj- Bbmaj9- Fmajor progression I posted earlier. The Bbmaj9 is actually a passing chord.

So, are you explaning more about it or we are moving to the next one

vex ? For what reason?
Music/Radio / Re: A Thread For Keyboardists by gameboi: 1:08pm On Oct 09, 2014

No reason precisely. You've given your answer already based on your Idea.

Karleb:


sorry about the typos.


I mean it's a way you play a chord which might be thesame or different to the way I might play thesame chord/s.


e.g You say subway, I say subway/underground.

You say lift, I say lift/elevator.
okay. How do you typify them? Or what do you liken them to?
Music/Radio / Re: A Thread For Keyboardists by gameboi: 11:28am On Oct 09, 2014
Karleb:


chord progression is are ways a keyboardist play chords which might be different or thesame to the way other keyboardist play the same chords.
I don't really understand you.

Yes! grin cheesy


Now that I know about tension, balance and release, shall we move to the next one? wink
sure? In what way do you see Chord Prgressions?
Music/Radio / Re: A Thread For Keyboardists by gameboi: 12:11am On Oct 09, 2014
Karleb:


ok.

for one that I'm very very sure of is the first one, which is the f major, the rest? I just thought selecting an option is necessary.
Correct. Fmajor balances the Bbmaj9. With Dmin another chord is needed to completely balance it. Same as Amin.
Music/Radio / Re: A Thread For Keyboardists by gameboi: 9:18pm On Oct 08, 2014
Karleb:



1. The three chords consist of a form of tension, balance and release (you don stylisly answer am for your question wink)

2. i. F major
ii. C major
iii. C major


hope I got it.

errrm sorry for the late reply, na water pass garri.
Not all of them balance the tension created by the Bbmaj9 properly. That's why I was asking which of the three progressions Balances the tension.
Music/Radio / Re: A Thread For Keyboardists by gameboi: 1:14am On Oct 07, 2014
Karleb:


The first one's minor chord, the second? I don't know. sad

lemme just say Major. undecided
you're wrong oh! I'll give you a little assignment. On the key of Cmajor, play the following progression. 1st progression: [Cmajor=C-E-G][BbMaj9 =Bb-C-D-F][F major=F-A-C]. 2nd Progression: [Cmaj=C-E-G][Bbmaj9=Bb-C-D-F][Dmin=D F A]. 3rd Progression: [Cmaj=C E G][Bbmaj9=Bb C D F][Aminor=A C E]. What do you notice about the three progressions? and in which one is there a balance from the tension created by the Bbmaj9 chord?

Music is the combination of sound that please the hear.

Edited

As a keyboardist, Music is the combination of painstakingly combinated and created sounds which follows a pattern.
Haha! Grammar.

I'd score you 60% on that one. What if I say all sounds mustn't always please the ear? Would you agree?
