Q. I am listening to minor chord progressions and stuff, and the composers I am listening to make the minor chords into really beautiful songs. When I play minor chords, they just sound really sad/mean, and not beautiful or deep. What are some beautiful chord progressions I can do with minor chords? I'm sort of new to piano playing. Thanks!
A. well, as a general rule songs in minor sound sad (most of the time) so these songs are probably "special cases"
good chords in minor (Am)
Am, C, G, D, Dm, Dsus2, Dm9, Cmaj9, Bm11, Bmaj7#11, F6, C7, Asus2, C/G.
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!
Are F and F6 chords the same? What are the notes in those chords?
Q. Just need to see the difference between the two
A. They are not the same. There are a couple different ways of playing it in my book. I play piano, so these are the notes on piano:
F: F, A, C
F6: F, A, C, D
In any combination (like A, C, F or C, F, A).
Remember that any major chord starts off with the note in which the chord is called (In this case, F major starts on F... A major starts on A), and is played with finger 1 (or finger 5 on your left hand). The next not is played with finger 3 and is two steps higher than the first note (each half step is one key on the keyboard). The third note is played with finger 5 (or finger 1 on the left hand) and is three - half steps above the second note. This is consistent with all major chords. The 6th is one step above the third note, and the 7th is one step above the 6th.
