Q. E, F#, G and B and what other chords could go with it to make a nice chord progression. Thankyou for your time.
A. Em (add 9)
That could fit anywhere in any number of progressions in lots of different keys. Maybe you could do something simple, but always keep that F# ringing out in the topmost voice... something like Em (add 9) - Am (add 11) - Gmaj7 - B7
Lots of stuff you could do, but I'm not going to write your song for you.
What are some piano composing techniques?
Q. so i was curious about some different composing techniques to maybe help writing piano music a little easier. i was curious if there was specific composing techniques (like the 'mannheim rocket' used in Beethoven's 1st piano sonata), or maybe just common strategies used with scales (not chord progressions though, i already understand that).
i kinda wanna play around with different types of techniques and experiment with them, rather than just writing line after line with no real variation and the sheet music itself doesnt look very interesting
A. One way is to start with a nice texture in the left hand. You can play the notes in the chords in an interesting rhythm that gives the piece some movement.
Then add the melody with your right hand. The melody should follow the chords and rhythm.
Also, you should add a part that breaks up the rhythm with chords in both hands.

Some melody writing techniques:
Compose a sequence by taking a few notes and repeating them, starting on different notes sequentially. Many times, a full melody is just two successive sequences.
Have notes sustain over barlines with tied notes. This breaks up rhythm.
Start with an arpeggio of a chord - one note on the first beat of each measure. Then fill in the notes in between.
chord progressions for enhancing improv skills?
Q. I'm a guitarist and I'm trying to work on my improv skills. I'm looking for some chord progressions to practice over that are a little more complicated than the standard ii V I stuff. Any suggestions?
A. here is a little progression I wrote a little while back. (feel free to change key if it is a bad one for guitar)
| are barlines
the FM7 is not dom 7th, it is major 7th (or delta 7 if you learned it that way), the one with E natural
Am7 | G7 G6 | FM7 F6 | Em7 E7|
Work with some standard 12 bar blues progressions also, there are no limits to what you can do with blues progressions.
I will write it out in case you don't know how they are
Key of E
E7 |A7 |E7 |E7 |
A7 |A7 |E7 |E7 |
B7 |A7 |E7 |B7 :|
nice progression piano jazz man!
