Q. I've been playing classical piano for ten years now, so i'm pretty good. i decided to try out for amis honour jazz band this year, but i dont understand a thing about the chord notation on the audition sheets. can anyone tell me what these mean, coz i'm not used to reading jazz music. (i know the basics like c minor chord and major sevenths and augumented fifths and stuff so if you can explain in those terms please)

A. C- = C minor (or an implied C minor 7th: C, Eb, G, Bb)
D â = D half-diminished (D, F, Ab, C)
G7+9 = G seventh, sharp nine (G, B, D, F, A#)
Bb7+ = Bb7 with a raised 5th (Bb, D, F#, Ab)
Ebâ = Eb major seventh (Eb, G, Bb, D)
(the others can be figured out from these)

These are just the bare bones of whatever it is you'll actually be playing on the piano. Better have someone show you some comping patterns! Here's a start: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqjAq81ok00 (then follow the links)
How soon is the audition?
link to piano chords?
Q. can anyone please send me a link of piano chords, and also which is the "sad" tune - major or minor?
thanks i'm just writing a song and i'm just clueless on how to make the lyrics and music up, and for at least now, i'm starting to write a sad song, so i wanted to now if u guys knew anything that could help me? Thanks again
A. Generally minor is thought to be more sad. However, almost all songs have major and minor chords in it.
If you want to write a song similar to what you hear on the radio, you'll want to use a lot of I, IV, and V chords. If you're in the key of C, the I chord is C, the IV chord is F and the V chord is G. If you're in minor, it would be C minor and F minor, but still G major. The V chord of any key is always a major chord.
A typical chord pattern would be I, IV, V, I or I, IV, V, IV, I
Good luck!
What are the best Piano Chords to create a Ballad track!?
Q. I want to know what chord region would be best to start in.
A. Several of these best chordal regions (use one chord for each measure, assuming that your ballad is in 4/4 time) are....
C major---A minor---C major---E minor
Or...
C major---F major---E minor---F major
Or....
C major---D minor---F major---E minor
For each pattern, you can repeat the 4-chord progression one or even twice for the verse (s), and then, go to the different pattern for the chorus.
