Wow! Nice school.

That must be second semester, right?

Elantracey: break ke


we are almost at the middle of a semester .

Tell me, which school is that?

Elantracey: lol , not really , just kinda stressed out .

With school things?

Ain't you supposed to be on break by now?

Elantracey: hmmmm really cool , I like the sound of that .


am good but could be better

Could be better?


Does that mean you are missing out on some fun?

Elantracey: I won't , I can't even if I want to .

That's good!

how are u?

I'm cool, really cool.

U?

gameboi: Pentatonic songs are specially written songs. You'll need to expertly fit them into any song you want to play. For more help you can download any Korean or chinese songs, most asian songs are played with pentatones. For your second question, those are chord inversions. Most keyboardists choose the one that helps them in smooth transition from one chord to another. Modern day keyboardists now add an octave i.e 1-3-5-1(octave), 3-5-1-3(Octave). Etc. To balance between the high and low pitch.

I actually meant, what and what key would I press to give me a chord on pentatonic scale, although I don't think I'll need that now since it really deals with the Asian music.

gameboi: hmm..! why do I have this feeling that you already know the answer to what you're asking me? Anyway, Pentatonic Scale is composed of 5 notes. In the common type played by most keyboardist, the IVth and VIIth note is removed(i.e it is not played when playing through a normal scale). Rather then play a complete Cmajor scale as C-D-E-F-G-A-B-C, it would be played as C-D-E-A-G-C' (the F and B has been omitted). There are different types of pentantonic scales like the major, minor, blues,harmonic minor, etc. The major purpose of a pentatonic scale is to give any solo an Oriental feel.

Wow I thought as much.


But, does that mean that I can use it to play the normal songs?

BTW, what's the formula for choosing the cords, like we have the "1 3 5, 3 5 1 & 1 5 3".

gameboi: I stop at 'etc.' because I don't like giving stories. But you should Know what I mean. Or don't you?

Now I do!

Can. You pls tell me more about pentatonic scale?

Elantracey: yes you are

I've not really gone far o , I can only play a few chords and just one song I learnt which I must have forgotten since I've not touched the piano for a long while .

I suggest you stick to the theory, the one you call gibberish until you get a personal piano.

...and pls don't quite on keyboard, I beg you.


#sorryforthelatereply

spanzed: let's start from the keys sir...I also notced that without constant practise its like a waste of time..how true is dat bro

No it's not sir!

I'd suggest you visit this link to get the scale of the twelve keys.

http://www.pianoscales.org/major.html

spanzed: Was learning keyboard b4 but I backslided who can put me ryt on track

What part do you wish to know sir?

Elantracey: play in church ke



I never reach that stage o

I guess you're afraid of playing badly, right?

Ok! stop being playingbadophobic for once, and try to press something even if it's after service, you could try out the root cords you know?


Or am I talking gibberish?

http://www.pianoscales.org/theory.html



For your musical theory, visit that site.

Elantracey: 1. Not long but I've stopped because of lack of keyboard

2. I don't and u seriously need one.

Actually, I have one small keyboard like that and it's really helping.


So, urmm have you ever played in church?

gameboi: here is what I mean. If for Instance you're learning in the Key of Cmajor, The Notes would be C D E F G A B C. Most keyboardist would say Do Re Mi Fa So La ti Do'. Then when learning the chords they would say pressing Do-mi-so gives the Do-chord, re-fa-La gives the Re-chord et al. Like, what the hell is Do-chord? Is it not actually supposed to be CMajor(C-E-G), Dminor(D-F-A) Eminor(E-G-B) etc. ? I hope you understand me.

and why do keep stopping at etc

Pls explain into detailsssss

Elantracey: am still learning

Wow, that's nice

Ok! Time for questions

Q1: How long have you been playing piano?

Q2: Do you have a personal piano?

Q3:...

08100693218 abeg add me asap!

Elantracey: yea my teacher told me that but now I need a new teacher

*clears throat*

You mean you also play piano?

gameboi: My advice to all those that want to learn chords is DON'T LEARN CHORDS BY NOTE BUT BY NAME. How? There is nothing like Do-chord, Re-chord, et al. Rather, there are Major, minor, suspended, diminished, augmented , etc chords.

Pls elucidate more, I beg you!

Elantracey: Shey you will sponsor it?

I will go and think about it.

Elantracey: I've been told before


yea , just on Nl though.

Plastic surgery is not that expensive, you know?















Na joke o

Elantracey: am an edo girl , why did you think I was Yoruba?

Errmm the look, you know?

I guess you and Abu are pals, right?

Elantracey: Make I do go learn Yoruba o , lol

So you're not yoruba? Wow!


So what tribe are you? Abi na which

buemene: And this trash you spew here is the advice students should follow huh! Priding oneself in making a first class in school but a woeful failure in real life skills. Park well bro, school dropouts are changing the world and while first class grads are answering sir sir to them.

.. and what is wrong with going great in academics and also in real life skills? Huh

I guess the aim of this thread is to console those who didn't make it up to second class upper.

I weep for a student who's gonna go ahead and follow the poo op wrote up there, I didn't read it tho'.

If you as a student did not graduate with at least 2.1 it probably means that you did not do well in your studies, in fact the last time I checked there are many things to do with your first degree and one of it is pride although the topic actually deals with the employment thingy but my stance is that; it will be a grave mistake for you as a student to finish with anything less than 2.1.

GIYAZZ: My little sister just died yesterday, I'm emotionally paralyzed, can't even think straight! Can't even contain the thought of her lying dead!

She died after a thunder striked before it rained, she had seizures. . . and now I hate rains! I hate thunders!! Ffuck Death!!!

Bro, here is my sincerest condolences.

May her soul rest in perfect peace.



Chai! Death why?

cbrass: range is not a big deal, so it doesnt look like i dont want to get married, you dont even know my worth sef

Egbon! On a more serious note I never underestimated you! I only made that statement due to the fact that you said you'll marry after buying RR and RR to me = luxury.


In other words, you only consider our sister after eating the life of your head to stupor.




Anyways, bros I need 50k?

cbrass: Until I buy a range

Egbon this your decision is what I call smartchoice.



But does that mean you are marriagophobic?

nairakobo: The kiss from Jolie woke her, meaning Jolie's love for her was true. True love exist

I guess Jolie's message was that true love does not have to come from the opposite sex.

cbrass: ahhah so na that one you see bai, anyway me no send anybody o, na achievement be the koko

Bros! Wait o, since the time will soon be after quarter o'clock, are you not thinking of adding a miss win to your mr wan so tht the sum of you two can be one
