Music/RadioRe: A Thread For Keyboardists by Giannakopoulos(f): 8:06am On Oct 11, 2014
Dramadiddy:
Lol...you have to change the way you think though..lol so now you understand why not every chord has a tritone, but in your former post, you were sooooo sure that no chord doesnt have a tritone, lol now youre here saying everybody understand..I'm done answering you, not that I'm angry but you don't seem to understand so go and meet someone that will make you understand the same thing I said wink
I never said anything about all "chords" having tritone,re read my posts,I only cautioned you of using chords to form tritone,I only talked about all "degrees" having tritone and that tritones are built from "scales",please take note & I don't expect you to be angry for nothing.
Music/RadioRe: A Thread For Keyboardists by Giannakopoulos(f):
Dramadiddy:
okay...now your definition of tritone is slightly wrong...a tritone is formed by the 1 and an augmented fourth...now, that being established...there are a lot of chords in music..these chords...can be broken down and rearranged to produce different sounds...now we r gonna take the chord min9b5..on C...if we r to play this chord in its default position, it is C Eb G Bb D Gb...now notice that this is a minor chord...but the notes of this chord can be joined together to form different things out of which I took Gb and C(which is a tritone)...from Gb to C is an augmented fourth interval...now i'll show you another chord which doesnt have a tritone in it...lets take min11...im using minors cos all dominants have a tritone cos of the 3 and b7...now back to min11...on C, a min11 is C Eb G Bb D F...now look at the notes of this chord and see if you can get any augmented fourth in it...no!...thats just how it is..u cant force this min11 to have a tritone,although it has a crazy sound...not all crazy sounds are tritones...if u study chords u ll understand...I guess i ll upload a tutorial on how to form chords and u can take it from there..hope u get me now
Don't upload a tutorial bc u don't seem to understand it,the way u r thinking is different from mine,I understand everything you are writing well,I never asked or said all crazy sounds are tritone,and mind you,a 1 and aug4 is d same as (3 and dom7) of a particular key,in ur first chord u had a 3rd and dom7 of the key of D(Gb-C),but in your second chord,there's no combination that can give u a 3rd and dom7th of any key,ie why u can't have a tritone there,not every chord has a tritone(everybody understands that,and its weird to think of forming tritone after you must have formed the chord) your thinking is different from mine & ie why you run into problems. Let d case rest, @Gameboi pls can u answer the initial question bc @dramadidy isn't getting the initial question I asked instead he wants to lecture me on sth I knew already and didn't ask for...**smile**
Music/RadioRe: A Thread For Keyboardists by Giannakopoulos(f): 9:49pm On Oct 10, 2014
Dramadiddy:
every degree not every chord hope u read what i wrote nt just skimming
tritones are formed out of scales of the key u r playing and not out of the chord you are playing,your statement is somewhat misleading,how can u form tritone out of a chord,you can only do that when the chord has a 3rd and a dom7 in it. Can u write out a tritone that has no 3rd n dom7 for me,there isn't,there are 6 tritones ie 2keys can share the same tritone like B & F,F# & C etc,never try forming tritone out of a chord that has no 3rd n 7th bc that wouldn't be called a tritone & ie y u r saying some chords lack tritone(which I would want u to explain what u mean by this)
Music/RadioRe: A Thread For Keyboardists by Giannakopoulos(f): 9:40pm On Oct 10, 2014
Dramadiddy:
Ur second question...yes...but that wud not apply to dim chords...no matter the degree you place dem on...tritone, well it can work on the 1 well, if you place it on another degree...it would demand resolution...same applies to dim chords...abt the dissonance...u shd understand dt its the alteration of ttensions that cause the dissonance...now at first i used to think that the way to form a tritone out of any chord wud be to use the formula 3 b7//the major chord or whatever chord u intended forming...but later on..i learnt that...not every chord has a tritone in it...u knw a tritone is 1-#4/b5...if you know hw chords r formed u will knw dat nt every chord has a tritone in it...he might have added another chord entirely that has a tritone...if u had a voice note, i wud have helped u out
Then you didn't get my question well,but I guess you really need to understand what a tritone is,every degree has a tritone and tritones are formed out of scale (of the key) you are playing,not out of the chord.I wouldn't go further bc u didn't seem to get the question well,any other person in the forum can try answering...

well i agree...wat sounds good might nt sound good to me
(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.
Music/RadioRe: A Thread For Keyboardists by Giannakopoulos(f): 7:44pm On Oct 10, 2014
gameboi:
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?

GMAT is 3000NGN,the workbook is 2500NGN making it 5500NGN,but GMAT doesn't treat mensuration,geometry problems comprehensively,so it's advisable after getting a GMAT,go for GSCE text that would treat Geometry,mensuration extensively,GMAT text is very ok for word & ratio problems though...all d best!

PoliticsRe: I Regret Having Akpabio As My Successor, Says Ex-gov Attah by Giannakopoulos(f): 12:33pm On Sep 08, 2014
etunoman76: A former governor of Akwa Ibom State, Victor Attah, has spoken of his regret at the emergence of Godswill Akpabio as his successor.

At a reception as the leader of the Ibibio ethnic nationality, Mr. Attah said his “one painful regret” was leaving office in 2007 with a “successor but without a succession”.

“Since leaving office I have frequently been asked if I have any regrets and my answer, without hesitation, has always been no, none at all. I have also been reminded that success without successor amounts to failure,” Mr. Attah said.

“So with the benefit of time, I must now confess that I do have one painful regret. The one regret I have is that, though I left with a successor, I left without succession,” the former governor said.

The remarks were Mr. Attah’s most direct comments about Governor Akpabio, who served as a commissioner in his administration.

The two men fell apart in the run-up to the 2007 election after Mr. Attah’s attempt at having his son-in-law succeed him, failed. Mr. Akpabio won the election instead.

Since leaving office, Mr. Attah has largely avoided the spotlight with his first major post-office duty being his participation at the just-concluded National Conference where he co-chaired the committee on devolution of powers.

The former governor’s reception Friday was organised by Akwa Esop Imaisong Ibibio, an umbrella socio-cultural group in Akwa Ibom State. The event attracted the cream of Akwa Ibom society across ethnic divides including first class monarchs, frontline politicians and groups.

In his acceptance speech after being installed as leader of the Ibibio nation, Mr. Attah, a former presidential candidate, opened up on his frustration with Mr. Akpabio.

He said his lack of succession plan has haunted him after office.

He also told the gathering how his ambition to become the president of Nigeria in 2007 was aborted, and how a “distinguished son” of the state openly claimed responsibility for the plot.

While acknowledging the individual lacked that capacity, Mr. Attah however questioned the benefits of such claim.

He advised Akwa Ibom people to forge as common front and support each other to gain the respect of other states and ethnic nationalities.

“If we do not want to continue to remain where we are and continue to have these insults and abuses hurled at us, we must learn to accept that, in a dark room, my candle does not burn brighter simply by my putting out the other person’s candle,” he said.

“On the contrary, the more candles we can light, the greater will be the brightness in that room. And in that situation, even the obscure one among us may become visible and recognised.”

In what he described as the renaissance of Ibibio nation, Mr. Attah advised the people to collectively choose a successor who will implement a people-based succession plan when Mr. Akpabio vacates as governor.

While he supported the call for the zoning of the governorship of the state to Eket senatorial district, the former governor however, noted that “certain other compelling determinants cannot be sacrificed on the altar of zoning”.

He reminded Ibibio people that in spite of their number, the tribe was in the past described as an ineffectual majority and challenged them to rise up, unite and face the common enemy of the state.

Continuing, he said, “We have shown righteous indignation at these insults but, undeniably, there is need for an examination of conscience, perchance we had provided the reason for the abuses.”

Also speaking at the occasion, the patriarch of Ibibio land, Essien Ekidem, thanked the people of the state for coming in large number to honour the former governor of the state.

Mr. Ekidem commended Mr. Attah for his contributions to the development of the state and the nation and urged him to continue to lead Ibibio people to greater height.

“You are all aware that it was Obong Attah who formed the coinage ‘Resource Control’ and fought for increased derivation for the Niger Delta region. Today, other people are using the derivation funds as they like,” Mr. Ekidem said.

OP I blame you for raising tensions with this thread,he never mentioned Akpabio in his speech,a successor is different from a succession plan,please. Secondly,Akpabio has performed far better than Attah,but since Ibibio are the majority,a lot of them wouldn't see anything good about Akpabio.
