Q. I need a new song. I'm making a 'cool choir' at my school, with popular songs, but it would be good if they had a simple chord progression for guitar. Piano could work too! I really need some songs, and if you have the chords, or where I can find the chords that would be great too! Links are great! Thank you in advance!
Thanks for responses! I just want you to know that this would be for gr. 4 to 8's so maybe heavy metal isn't the way to go! Yea thnks!
A. Knockin' On Heaven's Door - Guns N Roses
Killing Me Softly - Roberta Flack
Let It Be - The Beatles
HOPE THIS HELPS :)
What's the differences between a chord progression and a melody?
Q. Thanks. Are they both the same some examples of classical music would be nice as well.
One of my friends says that they're both completely different.
Thanks
Joe
A. I think we all know that a melody is the tune - the series of notes that is played or sung by the solo part. A chord progression is the order of the choices of harmony, and is sometimes played by the pianist's left hand, and sometimes played by a multi-note instrument - piano, guitar, harp, etc. - and sometimes by three or more one-notes instruments. When you consider the Mozart flute quartets, the melody is most often played by the flute, and the violin, viola, and cello join to play harmony; the movement from one harmony or chord to another is the chord progression, or harmonic progression. If you consider the Bach Siciliano in g minor from the Eb major flute sonata, the harpsichord is playing the accompaniment, and the flute plays the melody. The chord progression is usually notated in Roma numerals indicating function, in classical music - you see things like I - V7/vi - vi - ii - V7 - I. In popular music, you usually see the chords themselves written, with no regard to their functional analysis: C - E7 - amin - dmin - G7 - C.
Do they make sheet music for piano that isn't solo pieces?
Q. Every time I look at pop songs or rock songs for piano, it's al solos with the let hand playing a part and the right hand usually playing what the singer sings. However, when the people perform these songs (for example, Paul McCartney performing Live and Let Die) they don't seem to be playing the solo part of them singing, just a chords while they sing. Where can I get sheet music that's just the chords? Is there a name for this kind of sheet music?
A. You might be thinking of what is referred to as 'cheat sheets' that players and even learned musicians use all the time. An aid to quickly learn basic piano, and even new composition material.
But saying you just use the piano chords is really looking at the lower, left hand staff (instrument) of sheet music in conjunction with the upper, right hand (stave) staff melody or voice measures.
If you can read music (piano) script, then you are already performing the chord, key accompaniments.
Most all popular song books are presenting the voice melody and instrument accompaniments (only) with the upper and lower along with guitar chords along and above the melody line.
Better sheet music and manuals designated (exclusive) for piano keyboard, will include any note pattern (combinations) signatures showing the chord progressions and shifts on the music, staff measures itself.
