Q. I'm so confused! I have a chart with chords on it but this chord is not listed. I have also tried Google and and found tons of lists with chords on them but none of them have this one listed.
A. This chord is normally called B-flat major. It is based on the note of B-flat instead of A-sharp. B-flat and A-sharp are enharmonic, meaning the notes are written differently but have the same pitch. Because F is the low note, it's in 2nd inversion.
An A-sharp major chord is a real thing, but you won't find it on any chart because it doesn't occur until you hit the theoretical key of D-sharp (where the notes would be called A-sharp, C-double sharp, and E sharp). It's theoretical because, in practice, it's a nightmare to work with, and that's the reason you would use flats instead.
How can I learn to memorize my piano chords for my music faster?
Q. At my school they have a program called Winter Drumline and it's like a drumline show whenever marching season is over, the pit and the battery are in it. I am in the pit for winter drumline this year and I am playing the synth (electric piano). I am new to playing piano and I am not used to treble clef, I play trombone and baritone so I am more familiar with the bass clef, although I can read treble, it takes me a minute. So the chords I have to play are kind of difficult, especially for someone learning to play. How can I learn these chords faster so I can learn the show faster? Please help and thanks in advance :)
A. Hey Good for you! I was in Winter drum line to0. I marched snare, and now I am a Jazz Piano major. A good way to memorize chords is to take one measure at a time very slowly. Ms=Measure
Example:
-Memorize Ms1.
-Memorize Ms2.
-Play Ms1&2 very slowly until you have that memorized.
-Memorize Ms3
-Play Ms1-3 very slowly unitl memorized
-Memorize Ms4.
-Play Mes1-4
Bump up the metronome 5 clicks and repeat for awhile.
Then do the same thing for measures 5-8
and then play measures 1-8 very slowly.
And continue learning the rest of the show like that.
That method is to learn specific chords that are written out like you said on a treble clef. But You should start to read chord charts too and chord symbols, so when you see a C-7 chord you know to C-Eb-G-Bb or when you see a G7 chord you know to play G-B-D-F.
If you don't know what 7 chords are, start to learn ALL your major and minor triad chords.
C=C-E-G
Db=Db-F-Ab
D=D-F#-A
etc.....
and then the next step would be to learn those major and minor triads in different 1st and second inversion, meaning the middle or last note is on the bottom.
First inversion chords:
C=E-G-C
Db=F-Ab-Db
D=F#-A-D
etc..
Second inversion chords:
C=G-C-E
Db=Ab-Db-F
D=A-D-F#
etc...
Piano is one of the most technical instruments to play because not only do you have to consider rhythm and harmony but also melody.
If your really interested in piano see if you can find a teacher that teaches both Jazz, and classical.
If your in the Detroit area I give lessons!
Good luck sorry for the rant!
If my chord is a E major chord, must the root note of the chord be an E?
Q. I'm trying to figure out the chords for a piano song. The 2nd part of a bar has a bass part that consist of the notes G# (3rd octave) as the first quaver, B (3rd octave) as the second and E (3rd octave) as the 3rd.
It has the same notes as an E major, but the lowest note is a G#.
If it were to be a G# chord, it would have the step "1-â3-â¯5/â6", and I don't know what would the chord be called.
I'm a drummer and a self taught keyboardist, recently started studying about chords online, because I plan to pick up the bass guitar. =)
A. iPodlord is right. E-G#-B is root position of an E major chord, G#-B-E is first inversion, and B-E-G# is second inversion. And you can spread them out -- E-B-G#, G#-E-B, B-G#-E -- any combination of those three notes makes an E major chord.
Sometimes guitar or piano will play an E chord and bass will play a G#. That's still an E chord. In a chart it would be written as E/G#. And an E chord with B in the bass is written E/B.
Hope that helps.
