i dont know what any of this means!!! especially the F#-/A stuff.
can someone pleaseee help me!
A. Hi, if you know where abcdefg is on the piano, you can do it. ( Incase you don't know, d is found between the two black notes on the keyboard.)
B = B D# F# (d sharp, is the black note to the right of d )
F# = F# A# C#
F# / A means you play note A in the bass ( left hand or lowest note you play )and
F# A# C# in the right hand
G#7 = G# B# D# plus F#
Ema7 = E G# B D#
B/A = B D# F# with A in the left hand
C#7 = C# E# G# B
( E# and B# are the white notes, F and C )
Probably it would be easier for you to have a lesson or two, to learn the best arrangement/ order of the notes in each chord so you can shift smoothly instead of jumping from chord to chord.
What the heck is this PIANO CHORD?
Q. when you take C chord, and you know you got your 1st, 3rd, and 5th keys hit from that C, when you take your 3rd key and go up a half step and your 5th key and go up a whole step, what's that called? 'cuz you can do it for every chord and it sounds sweet but i looked up different chord types and couldn't find it anywhere. and it's gotta be common as all hell because it sounds like heavens bells jingling from a soft cloud made of pink roses.
A. If I'm reading you correctly:
You start with:
CEG, raise E a half step up to F, and G a whole step up to A?
You then have CFA.
That is a second inversion of an F major chord.
Inversions: the bottom note is jumped up on octave.
CEG (root position
EGC (first inversion)
GCE (second inversion)
Do that from F
FAC
ACF
CFA - your second inversion F chord.
The second inversion has a 'quality:' with its the fifth as the bass - it sounds less 'at rest' than the root position or first inversion.
The F chord in that position, if in the key of C, is a typical position to resolve (cadence) to the C chord in root position, the IV - I (F maj to C maj) chord sequence of many an 'amen' you hear in hymns, and also a most commonly used cadence in country and western music. (...play CFA, hold the C, lower the F,A to E,G)
P.s. the four basic triad types -- all spelled as rooted on C.
C, E, G = major
C, E-flat, G = minor (the third lowered one half-step
C, E-sharp, F-sharp = augmented (enlarged) the third and fifth each raised one half-step
C, E-flat, G-flat = dimimished (made smaller) the third and fifth each lowered one half-step
major - major third on bottom, minor third above
minor - minor third on bottom, major third above
augmented - two major thirds
dimished - two minor thirds
Best regards.
piano questionnnnnnn!!!!!?
Q. i have fairly small hands and i was wondering how i could increase my reach on the keys of the piano. i can play from middle c to the c above that (an octive) and for my band audition piece i need to play a tenth...
A. If possible in this piece, you can share the other hand in this chord, if not, the only way is to play it in two steps, playing the bass note first and then quickly jump to the tenth note.
