What types of chords are the following chords?

Q. For example, "augmented 7th" or "diminished", etc.

- C F A#
- C F A
- F A# C
- F A C
- C Fb Ab
- C F A
- C E B
- C E A

I found myself playing these chords a lot in my piano improvisation, and was curious as to what they are called!

A. cfa# -that is an F chord, 2nd inversion (because the c is on the bottom) with a dissonant 4th--it's actually a Bb and it can resolve to the c.

CFA--F chord, 2nd inversion

FA#C - again, that would be a Bb instead of an a# (dissonant 4th resolving to the A or the C

C FbAb- C E Ab--

what you're really liking the sounds of are called dissonant chords because they sound like resolving. Most pop music today (even christian music) loves these sounds. It's good!!! keep experimenting. All the other chords are just inversions.

Original Question

how can i sing a high b flat in 2 weeks?
Q. i need to be able to hit a high b flat in 2 weeks for an audition, but i can only sometimes hit a high g! what are some quick excercizes that will make me be able to hit it more? right now im just going up the scales with 'do re mi fa so la te do'. i practice it every day for right now cuz im on break.
i have a vocal coach [but i dont see her untill after this audition]
also its only one note that i have o sing high b

A. I don't want to put cold water on this, but attempting to sing three half-notes higher than your highest note in your current range in two week is not safe. Not at all safe, no way. I agree with the above that you might be auditioning for a soprano part when you are really a mezzo; this is dangerous, as forcing your voice into performing that higher tessitura will be an overall painful and damaging process.

If you still want to go out for this part, I suggest working with the piano to see if you can modify that note. For example, if you know solfege, there is a place in a song I'm singing where the actual music is written to go from Do to Fa, but it sounds just find going Do to Sol or Do to Mi as well. Also, you might be able to sing the note down a third, as that would be a G-flat and within your range. Or look at the chord in the accompaniment when you are supposed to sing the B-flat. Is there a G-flat in the chord? Try singing that and see if it sounds okay. No G-flat there? Try picking another note in the chord that is below the B-flat. Don't forget to look in the bass clef accompaniment, too, as you could just sing one of those notes an octave higher.

I'd e-mail your voice teacher and tell her/him about the situation; I suspect they will advise you strongly against trying for such a large extension of your range in such a short period of time, warning you of possibly damaging your chords. Please find another way around this note than trying to screech it out in two weeks; take care of your instrument, you can't get a new one!

Original Question

What are the piano cords for the song Lucy by Skillet from there new album Awake?
Q. Ok so I think the repeated notes are a D and a B natural but the lower ones I cant tell would love to do this song for my talent show but I need help! Please&Thankyou
Your Fellow Panhead. :)

A. There's not really a short explanation I can give but I'll try.

Anytime you want chords to a song, google "(name of song) chords"
It doesn't matter if the instrument it is, they all have pitch that has to match.
So it makes no difference if it says guitar or what ever. As you improve you just
learn to improvise to make it sound good on what ever instrument you play.

Also I recommend that you learn the Nashville Number system and start improving your relative pitch so you'll begin to sound songs out by year. The NNS is just like shape notes except with numbers.
You have 12 major musical scales which all contain "Do rei mi fa so la ti do" but instead of the shape notes (the do rei me) you use numbers "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 1" Do = 1 rei = 2 mi =3 fa=4 so=5 la= 6 ti=7 and do =1

C scale = C=1 D=2 E=3 F=4 G=5 A=6 B=7 C=1
G scale = G=1 A=2 B=3 C=4 D=5 E=6 F#=7 G=1

If you start using numbers you will notice that all songs follow a certain pattern they are just keyed in different keys and your relative pitch will develop and you will start being able to sound songs out on your on. The song you want is chorded in G major

When your relative pitch starts to develop you'll notice alot of patterns like how 6 minor usually resolves to the 4 chord or how every time you play a 2 major chord it resolves to the 5 chord.

Remember the C scale your teacher made you do when you first began piano? You have 11 other major scales to learn to play (with the same fingering) (12 in all) and as you play them, don't forget to count.

Last thing. When the chord says C2 or C SUS, you don't have to play it that way, you can play just the normal C chord which is easier, the 2's and sus' just sound better. Your chords are in the link I gave you.
