Q. I am trying to write a song and am wondering if anyone knew chords that produced that sleepy wonderful sound. Thanks so much!
A. Well, you'd have to choose a scale first, a good scale would be G major or C major. In G major, whenever you play "C" or "F", you change the not to a sharp. Some chords you could use include G, B, D, or C, E, G (the most simple chord), but you should experiement different key combinations.
Good lullaby chords usually use three keys each spread out by one note.
How do you know what piano chords go together?
Q. I wanna write a song on piano, but I haven't really learned chords and stuff. I know a few chords but they don't sound like they go together to write a song. Could you guys give me some tips on writing songs?
A. I'm been composing for a LONG time so I can tell you where you need to start. I know exactly what your problem is and how to fix it. You need to practice remembering what chords are compatible to one another.
For example a D G (Bflat) chord is compatible with a G (Bflat) D chord.
Did you see how they contain the same notes but are arranged differently?
Look at a d minor scale:
D E F G A (Bflat) (Csharp) D
Any of those keys are acceptable for a d minor song. So if you used chords that are combinations of any of those keys, you can be 90% sure to be fail safe. That's a good place to start.
Now look at an a minor scale:
A B C D E F (Aflat) A
Play the following chords:
(A C E)
((Aflat) C E)
(F (A flat) C)
(E A C)
Those are all in the scale and you just created a tune to an a minor song
Recognizing what doesn't sound right is the beginning of learning what DOES sound right.
Experiment a little and find out what works what doesn't
Hope this helps
Do piano key signatures sound different from each other?
Q. Does the sound change as scales are played away from key of C? Are some happier or sadder sounding?
A. Major chords will reflect happiness /cheerful situation
Minor Chords will reflect sadness / grief / intense situation
However Minor Chords with 7th note will reflect calmness and relaxing situation
Those are the only differences in terms of the sound meaning. The key letter itself doesn't hold any meaning. i.e. C major is the same as A major, F major etc.
The meaning of the sound lies on the chord you are playing. (i.e. when a note is mixed with other note to perform major,minor, or minor7th chords)
