Q. well, i wrote a song the other day but i used tabs to write it, and i want to know how to play it on the piano, but i don't know what chords i'm playing. i've tried to find sites that may tell me what i'm playing, but they're no help. the tabs i am playing are:
1. 079900
2. 002200
3. 024400
according to my voice lessons teacher, the second tab is A2.
help with this would be much appreciated. (:
A. The notes for the first Tab are: E E B E B E. This is an E5 Chord or E 5th, it's the same thing. These are the same notes you play on the piano.
The first E is the same note as the guitar open 6 string.
The notes for the second tab are: E A E A B E. This is an E sus4 Chord.
The notes for the third tab are: E B F# B E. This is a B sus4 Chord.
The low E and the high E notes would be the same notes for all three chords when played on the Piano.
Hope this helps.
Could anyone coach me through singing?
Q. Please I need someone with experience to coach me through singing. I can't afford to pay for a coach. Another thing is to me my voice does not sound good at all. Email me if you want to help. Shizu50@yahoo.com
A. I can't take the time to actually give lessons, but I can give some advice that helped me achieve a near 4 octave vocal range.
Some things are obvious..
1.Always stay well hydrated when practicing your singing.. Otherwise, you may damage your chords.
2.Don't push yourself to hard, you could damage your chords by trying to hard.
That being said, I'll get to the real advice.
Essentially, you have three voices.
Chest, mix, head.
Chest is your lower powerful voice.
Mix is the balanced voice in between chest and head.. Think of chest voice as your bass voice, mix as your mid voice, and head as your treble voice.
Head, as I just stated, is your higher voice.. Not to be confused with falsetto, which doesn't even apply to girls.
Some things that helped so much would be:
1.Always try to stay on key and sing the exact same notes as the song you listen to.
It doesn't matter if you think you sound retarded, IT HELPS... As a Baritone/Tenor (I'm both), I expanded into Soprano by constantly singing Nick Pitera's A Whole New World as a joke.
2.Go some place as private as possible, and just try to belt out as strongly as possible.
Note, I said as strongly as possible.. That doesn't mean you should push yourself too hard.
Just sing at a regular volume, and slowly start singing more and more powerfully.
3.Try to learn and instrument, I'd suggest the piano.
Learning an instrument refines your ears... But also, it allows you to learn a little music theory.
4.Range is good, but being proficient in your true vocal range (for me it's Baritone and Tenor, though even I lean toward baritone a little more). If you are a Mezzosoprano, it's awesome if you can hit C6, or A2 on the lower end, but what you need to be proficient in, is your true range. Which, if you are a Mezzo, that would be A3-A5. Or if you are a Contralto (lowest female voice) E3-G5, and Soprano (highest) C4-C6.
All that being said, I have worked my way to a range of F2-D6, and after warm-ups, I can sometimes go from E2-F6 and occasionally G6. I hope you succeed as well!
Need help transposing guitar notation to piano chords?
Q. I have started to play keyboard with a group. The music score has only guitar notations. I have found what each of the chords relate to on the piano except for "X"2 ("X" = note, like A or G) (For example: A2 or C2)
It's probably really easy like a second inversion triad / 6/4 chord where the fifth of the triad is the bass and the root and the third are above. But when they played it sounded as though it was a resolve or chord progression.
A. Anvil Studio is an excellent (and free) staff-ware music writing program. You can enter notes on screen with a standard piano keyboard or a guitar neck. You can enter the guitar tablature string an frets, and the notes will appear on the staff.
