Pianistsegz200:
Hello everybody! Boss "Dramadiddy" Gameboi" I salute una oo welldone guys

Thanks. I see you.

Dramadiddy:
sir!

ah! You said Sir? I'm your boy oh!

Karleb:


Oga mi, no be say I get a question per se, I just wan see the thing wey I never learn.


Btw, anythung for the boy?

Erhm... As a keyboardist, what's your definition of MUSIC? Let's start with that.

Karleb:

When I said a real website I meant a website that deal with music/piano theory alone.


Anyways, thanks for the reply, it's really helpful.

How about asking your questions here?

Largas: I am asking on behalf of my sister.
Will uniuyo offer Nursing science next year? She wants to fill uniuyo in her Jamb.

Nursing science in UniUyo sounds foreign to me. Though, I'm not sure of next year.

Fazi15: Pls i want to know the chord progression for makossa and uhrobo

Your question doesn't really sound direct. You should know that not all songs have the same chord progression.

Karleb:

but you also said something about you knowing only key C some nine years ago, care to explain?

as at that time, I was still learning. But I later developed hatred for the keyC tho' and decided to test some other keys out.

Karleb: gameboi

abeg, just think of something you think I should know that I don't know and teach me.

could be the chords name, cause I am still trying to wrap my head round those things.

thanks.


BTW, you once said on this thread that you're 17? c'mon tell me that's a joke.

Lolz. It's no Joke.

Bosville: Playing oN key Cminor, Fmajor, Db??wats re dos tinz......i knOw nothing bout dem...can soMeoNe put me through...?

Cminor means C D Eb F G G# Bb C'. Fmajor is F G A Bb C D E F G'. When you see the sign ''b'' it means Flat while # means sharp .

I'm aspiring for the position of the President of University of Uyo Medical Students Association(UUMSA) next year.

I will need a campaign manager for your class when the time comes

You have immense potential.

Btw, I've sent the mail.

Chisos! I'm actually speechless now. I don't believe this. Here was I thinking you should be a medical student from one of these prestigious Nigerian medical Luminaries. I feel Prouder(Permit my English) now with what you just told me. Thanks once again.

lomaxx:

I'm sending it now. Will arrive in no time.

I've been good. You were admitted into Univ of Uyo?

Yes Sire. The email is udoeyo91@gmail.com. Thanks

lomaxx:

This statement is not true. Normally, it should be true. But it's not.

First degree ain't no guarantee.

Everybody shares the same amount of stress. It takes smartness to equilibrate the pressure on all sides.

today has got to be my Lucky day, Sire. It's been a while. How have you been? I haven't received your reply.

jenbruce09: wow.. thumbs up bro. u talk like a 300-400level student in terms of advice.

Me? Whao! I feel elated by what you just said.

Karleb:

jenbruce09: yup.. wat level r u in? N which institution?

Starting next year, UNIUYO.

Karleb:

I guess you just want me to swallow my humble moimoi, alright I really don't know what minors are.



Care to explain?

The minor of any key is gotten by counting three half steps form the present key or the sixth note of that key. For instance, the minor of F# is three half-steps backward (i.e F E Eb). Hence Eb is the minor of F#. Like I said, another way of getting the minor of F# is by getting the sixth note of F#(F#-G#-Bb-B-C#-Eb-F-F#'). It therefore means F#(F#-G#-Bb-B-C#-Eb-F-F#') and EbMinor(Eb-F-F#-G#-Bb-B-C#-Eb') have similar notes.

Karleb: @gameboi



What the fucck!!!!

Of course I saw the familiarity, but I consciously and unconsciously chose to forget about it.

It didn't sound awkward because I don't know how to apply it, it sounded awkward to me because it sounded awkward compared to what C major and Db major sounds like.

that's why I asked you what the minor of a key is. And apparently, you don't really know it.

Karleb:

Do I know what a minor key or chord or scale is? Yes!

Do I know into details what a minor key or chord or scale is? No

Why? 'Cause I just started with C Minor this morning.


Abeg, answer Fazi15 question.

so, you mean you know what a minor chord and scale is, yet you didn't realise that playing on Cminor is same as Playing On EbMajor. And it sounded akward because you did not know how to apply it. What was Fazi's question?

jenbruce09: then I guess I'm on the right track.. @Gameboi.

well, If you say so.

Karleb:

Huh!?

You know what? I tried playing a hymn on Cminor and oh God! It was so off! But on CMajor? Ghen! ghen! It was the bomb!

If that's how a minor sounds, then when and where can one apply the minor chords s/he knows?

first of all, do you what the minor of a key is?

Karleb: Why does a minor always sound so off, hey I'm not saying it's off o , but it does sound off as in somehow melancholic.

Why?

'cos it's a minor.

Karleb:

Yes.

So sus2 can actually be called minor chords?

I'm not with a keyboard now. But I can imagine how it should sound. Sus2 chords are not minors.

Karleb:

But, wait o.

If the 1 2 5's are called sus2, then what do you call the 1 3 5's?


Anyways, you can try these on the scale of F and tell me how the sound feels.

Bass: F C F Bb D Bb C C G C Bb D C F

Treble: C A F D Bb F E C D Bb F.


Or does it seems familiar?

1-3-5's are major chords. Should these notes be played simultaneously on both hands?

Karleb:

Wao you know say you be oga now, but I'm gonna stick to my three fingers until I become a pro.

Lolz. I have other bosses Like Dramadiddy.

Karleb: I was just watching a keyboard tutorial I download from YouTube and the guy was playing with four fingers, a beg how many keyboardist play with four fingers here?

I do. I use 5 fingers most times.

Karleb:

No.

Care to give some explanation.

sus2 chords are 1-2-5 chords. i.e. Chords formed from the first, second and fifth note. For example. In the key of F(F-G-A-Bb-C-D-E-F'), the sus2 chords are: F-G-C(Fsus2), G-A-D(Gsus2), A-B-E(Asus2), Bb-C-E(BbSus2), C-D-G(Csus2), D-E-A(Dsus2), Esus2 is not available on key F. You can apply sus2 chords to pentatones

Robertsuccess1: I am number 10 in the list Medicine and Sugery,so happy

Congrats bro! Are you on whatsapp?

Karleb:

Another example pls

Lolz. Have you ever heard of sus2 chords before?

Karleb: @gameboi

Its sounds cool.

Could that be another way of playing the D F A, cause I think they sound familiar.

Not really, its application varies with the key you play on. That's one of the reasons you should learn chord by names 'cos there are no limitations to how a song should be played. And you should also learn to be creative. Most listeners don't want to know what you're playing all they need is good sound. And as a keyboardist you should learn to give them enough of it.
