Q. Usually when I try to find gospel bass tabs or chords, I'm sent to sites that only have piano chords. Someone said that I could get the chords for the bass from the piano chords.
A. Typically the bass plays the same chords that the piano is playing, as both are concert C instruments. So an A chord on the piano is an A chord on the bass. Of course this is assuming you have the chords written above each measure. If this is the case, have the bassist improvise a line based on the chords. It's easy. If the chords are not written, you'll have to figure them out from the key of the piece and the melody written.
How to change a keyboard chord to piano?
Q. Hey! On the electronic keyboard, for example, the C major chord is : C - E - G, which is pressed all at the same time, now what i wanna ask you is, how to change the chord to a piano chord (piano chords are not all pressed at the same time), is there any formula or anything??
A. It is exactly the same. Yes, you do press them all at the same time. Playing a chord one note at a time is called a broken chord. Three or more notes played at the same time is a chord, regardless of the instrument.
How do I develop a piano composition?
Q. I can come up w/ a short melody or chord changes, but I have trouble developing it into a whole song.
A. I'm not much of a composer, but I'm beginning to dabble, and I've come to learn a few things, so I'll try to answer this one...
Composing is actually not that difficult if you plan it out properly. At least, that's how it works for me. Before I actually write a melody, I will plan out what form I want it to have -- like strophic, freeform, etc. (my terminology may be sceewompus, but I'm sick so pleh). I usually draw a big line and split it up into sections, naming the first section "A." This is usually the main melody. Then you can have a B section, a C section, and then finally resolve back to A. Or something like that, I don't know what you'd call that using form and analysis terminology, I haven't really gotten that far yet. Anyway, after mapping out the "timeline" you could probably decide where you want your "climax" to be, let's say it's in the C section.
Alright, so you've got a basic melody, but what about the other B and C sections? I usually figure out what chord progressions I want to use in the other sections, and build a melody off of that (that's what I usually do, as I'm a little more interested in cool chord progressions that actual melody lines). Key changes are always fun to do and there are a million ways to do a key change and switch up the sections, like moving into the relative minor and then back to major, using subdominants to move the melody into the dominant, etc. etc.. But anyway, there's usually a small few-measure introduction to different sections, or at least an intro at the beginning.
Yeah so... I'm no virtuoso, and I'm sure Mozart never had to do this, but I'm a huge music theory geek, so if you already knew all this stuff, feel free to disregard my music student geek-out.
