[color=#DC143C]Wait a minute.

When the left hand is on E, the right hand should be on E-G-C like you said. Should that on the right hand be simultaneous or alternating? I need a better explanation. It will be best if you upload an MP3 or .amr file of what an appergio looks like. Thanks.[/color]

appergios are broken chords so you play single notes at a time. I don't have my keyboard at the moment, so I'll do a Voice recording later.

So guys, this is just an idea on how to structure a chord and use it as an appergio run over a number of octaves, up the keyboard.
Before if I wanted to do an appergio, I would just strike the chord over three octaves going up, that's OK, but a cooler way is to play an inversion of the chord you are appergiating(i don't know if this word exist), cross over with left hand and play a single note which is a member of that chord, then with your right play another inversion, a note with the left hand another inversion and it goes on and on like that.
I will use a Cmaj chord to explain better. if I want to play an appergio of a Cmaj chord as a run up the keyboard,
-I will play the first inversion of Cmaj which is (E G C) with my right hand
-cross my left hand over my right hand hit E (which is a member of the Cmaj chord
-naturally my right hand will fall on Cmaj second inversion (G C E)
-cross my left hand over my right again, but this time I hit G
-finally with the right hand play the Cmaj chord in root position, but double the root ( C E G C ).

N.B: it is good to practice this slowly, then build up speed. playing your appergio like this helps it to be connected and flowing with a sustain pedal.
you could use this idea on any chord(triad), major or minor
Hope this helps

nice, really nice!! I enjoyed that
this is what I have been talking about.
eagerly waiting for the second part. well done

[quote author=gameboi post=30986868]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? [/quote)

I was just kidding. julliard is a music institution abroad

gameboi:
abeg, transcribe these chords. Tell us the chord names.

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

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

Pianistsegz200:
Nice question...I know dat becos of d notes in the dim chord(Eb,F#,A) dis notes can be manipulated in various ways apart from being a dim chords to voice ur 7,3,6. I Ave a video on dat I posted here. For d 3 u might also use on your right hand :Ddim7(D,F,Ab,B,addD) and appregio matters a lot to...for A maj (B,D,F,Ab,B) dis are just variations using dim chord for ur 7,3,6...I might post d tritone version later to but I Ave d videos already on previous pages here. thanks

I just love diminished chords for the dissonance it adds to ones playing. like the fact that you mentioned appeggios. thanks

Pianistsegz200:
Wanna share dis simple trick to manipulate 7,3,6 movement in every key just by using diminished chords.
Let's look from C Major
7- Lh- B. RH. C Eb F# A(C)
3-. E. B E F Ab (B)
6. LH.AEG. G.B.C.E
On d 7 u hold d Cdim7 and go half step below for d 3 and resolve to d 6.
Let's look from A Major
7- LH..Ab. RH. A C Eb F#(A)
3-. C#. Ab B D F(Ab)
6. LH. F# C# E. RH. E Ab A C#
One beautiful thing most pianist don't discover on time is playing on all keys makes piano easier and sweeter. This is my charge to every privileged pianist in d house to work upon. U will be proud of urself when you are tru with dat stage. Thanks
I remain humble

you are right. learning all keys is very essential for serious keyboard players.
I have a question for you tho, how do you know what diminished chord will work with a particular bass note? in the first example you gave, how did you know Cdim7 will go well with the 7 on the bass, or is something one has to learn by ear? tanxs

my phone has issues... Rectified it though

yeah

Dramadiddy:
Yeah don't go too low unless you're gonna create a muffling sound with the bass player and everything won't sound good at the end

Arhhh... drammy is back ooo

gameboi:
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?

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

@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.
Cc: Karleb zbone dehero1 et al

cool bro
I use the 3dim7 as a passing chord to the 4 a lot in African praise songs, though I usually leave out the flat 7 (D), and play it as a triad.

the 5min for me, is the same as the 3dim7, they sound alike, so I use them interchangeably on the 3 (mi)

I didn't get your circle of fourths idea though

Keneking:
This is one Nigerian I respect in the past...but his romance with FDP and Jonathan has made me dislike him.

All the others in Nollywood in this light are under my watchlist. No doubt followership would decline for most of them. Youth Earnestly Ask for Abacha comes to mind .

dislike him ke? the man is hustling for his daily bread, and you are here saying another thing. you better throw that your dislike nonsense into the bin because, if you were in his shoes, you'd do the same.

great job guys, (Mr touchi and co). Welldone

i hope OP has not jinxed Buhari's victory with this gloating of his.

Dramadiddy:
wait what I mean by open space is that there's a part in a song where you hear the "fa" sound for quite a long time, you can have one chord like F C E//A Db E A, an then substitute it.. Then it sounds like you're playing a lot of things..

hmm... I get you noww. tanxs

Dramadiddy:
what I like about this is that, if a have a big and very non-diatonic chord, that is, where the notes are out of scale, I can play one chord and its substitutions in any open space in a song.. Lol just try this method, walai u ll love it

wait..slow down.. if I have a non diatonic chord lyk say
a G diminished or a ( A // F Bb B Eb ) in the key of Db, I can play any of the substitutions I create using your method in any open space and it will fit?
