Q. I know that there are more than just major an minor chords, for example, diminished but I only want to know how many major and minor chords there are...help :)
A. That is a really difficult question to answer...
Unless you just just want the number of major and minor TRIADS. So there are 12 notes in a scale. so.. 24? unless you counting each octave as well.
a piano has 6 or 7 octaves...so then 144 or 168... just major and minor triads... as in 1-3-5
it's pointless counting each octave since it's all the same notes.
So I leave my answer at 24.
1. C major
2. C#/Db major
3. D major
4. D#/Eb major
5. E major
6. F major
7. F#/Gb major
8. G major
9. G#/Ab major
10. A major
11. A#/Bb major
12. B major
multiply that by 2 for the minor chords.
What are the notes which makes up these chords?
Q. I've come across a song recently which is made up of lots of very complex chords. What are the notes which forms the four ascending chords heard in this video at 3:12 ? : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGGN3FVJh98
Thanks!
A. I count five chords, starting with the one sounding at 3:12, and finishing with the one playing when the singing starts, so I'm not sure which four chords you mean. Here are the five I hear, with the voicings as I'd play them on piano:
Bb9/13
RH: Ab C D G
LH: Bb
F/A
RH: F A C
LH: A
Gb/Ab
RH: Gb Bb Db
LH: Ab
G+(7)b9
RH: (F) Ab B D#
LH: G
GbM7
RH: Bb Db F
LH: Gb
See what you think.
The difference between major and minor chords on a piano?
Q. I was wondering how I could tell the difference between a major and a minor chord on a piano? Help?
Thanks! :D
A. That can't really be explained in a few words. But basicly Major chords are formed in triads of a whole step (WS) and a half step (HS) minor chords are the inverse, HS-WS for example: The 'C' chord is put together by the noes 'C-E-G' c to e is a whole step, and e to g is a half step. 'Cm' is the opposite, it's notes are 'C-Eb-G (b=flat, just go one half step down) so C to Eb is a half step, and Eb to G is a whole step. To make it a lot less confusing here is a list of all the chords major and minor triads.
MAJOR
C-E-G
C#-E#-G#
D-F#-A (#=sharp, go up one HS)
Eb-G-Bb
E-G#-B
Fb-Ab-Cb
F-A-C
F#-A#-C#
Gb-Bb-Db
G-B-D
G#-B#-D#
Ab-C-Eb
A-C#-E
Bb-D-F
B-D#-F#
MINOR
C-Eb-G
C#-E-G#
Db-Fb-Ab
D-F-A
D#-F#-A#
Eb-Gb-Bb
E-G-B
E#-G#-B#
F-Ab-C
F#-A-C#
G-Bb-D
G#-B-D#
Ab-Cb-Eb
A-C-E
A#-C#-E#
Bb-Db-F
B-D-F#
There are a few others, but i think you'll get the idea once you give these a shot.
EDIT: I just realized that you may have been asking about the sound, basicly Minor chords just have a haunting sound to them as opposed to happy. thats the best i can explain that
