Q. I'm writing my own song on the piano, and all of the chords I try and out together clash horribly! does anybody know any 2 chords that sound good played at the same time? (eg: C&G (I know these two don't work, it was just an example)) I'll really appreciate anyone who answers! this song needs to be finished soon.. :)
A. After some French dude called Debussy proposed extending chords by adding thirds to the roots, you are no longer bounded to the basic chords. That's how you make your music more varied and attractive.
Example, add a minor third (Bb) to your C and get a C7 (C E G Bb)
Add another third and get a C9 (C E G Bb D). This can also be seen as a Gm over a C.
Yet another third gives you a C11 (C E G Bb D F). Also seen as a Bb over a C, or a Gm7 over a C.
Change the minor thirds to major and get for example a CMaj7 (C E G B)
As for what chord comes after another (how your song is built), since your name is neither Stevie Wonder nor Richard Strauss, do not try too adventurous chromatic harmonies. Stick with the basic chords in the key you're using (if it's C, use Dm, Em, F, G, Am) and dress them up a little by trying the added thirds I listed above. Of course not all combinations will sound good.
PS: Also do not try using different lower notes on the left hand (bass line) from your right hand chord roots. That's done all the time by jazz and contemporary classical musicians but don't try it on your first song. So if you play a C chord on your right hand, no matter how complex (say C11), play a C note on your lower left hand.
what does Bb/G - C mean as a piano chord?
Q. I am trying to learn a song that doesn't have sheet music but I found the chords for it. I have got the beginning done but I don't know what it means.
Can you tell me what notes to play and why it is those notes.
Thanks
A. The way this is written, it most likely indicates two chords in succession where the second is C. The first is a split chord a Bb with a G as the root (lowest) note. This first chord is really the same as a Gm7.
If i play a Fmaj7 chord on the piano for an example, how do i know what scale would fit to that chord?
Q. If i play a Fmaj7 chord on the piano for an example, how do i know what scale would fit to that chord?
Or lets say i play a G 7-5 how do i know what run scale would fit to that? what i acctually mean is, if i grooving in lets say G#flat? how do i know what run licks or run scale fits to that chord?
A. To know this, you have to know the whole chord progression where the Chord s played:
For example:
Fmaij7 fits in the scale of F and in the Scale of C
If the chord progression is Cmaj7 Fmaj7, or Dm7 G7 C, fmaj7 then you play scale of c
If the chord progression is Gm7 C7 Fmaj7, or Fma7, Bbmaj7 Am7 C7or its scale of F, and so on.
