Q. Scary or haunting that sound proffesional
A. All of them?
The joke is that every minor chord on a modern piano is the same shape (that wasn't always true, by the way). The chords' feeling depends on what key you're in. For instance, in the key of A minor, a C# minor chord would be very surprising (and probably not sound very good), but the key of F# minor, it's pretty tame.
Maybe what you're looking for is a sequence of chords. A lot of Renaissance and Baroque composers liked something called a "lament bass" for a sad sound. Try playing A, G, F, E in the bass. You can put different chords on top of it, like: Am, G, F, E, or even sadder, Am, Em/G, Dm/F, E. Or, for the chord over F, try an F half-diminished 7th--that's an Fm with an Eb added. Experiment with it!
By the way, the "scariest" chords are diminished 7ths. For a "haunting" sound, just play several in a row.
Dominant Chords - Piano?
Q. Could someone help me here? What is a Dominant + Major chord in the key of C? And also, what is a Dominant + Minor chord in the same key of C? The instrument, by the way, is a Piano.
Thanks!
A. OOOH! ANOTHER PERSON WHO PLAYS THE PIANO!! lol
Anyways, when you have a Dominant chord, its just a chord that is built on the 5th note of the scale. Therefore the dominant chord in the key of C major is
G(5th note) B and D
and if you need a Dominant 7th chord, it would be
G B D and F
The minor Dominant chord would to just build a chord on the 5th note of the minor scale. Therefore G Bb D
Dominant 7th
G Bb D F
hope i helped!
How to practice piano chords?
Q. Piano
A. (assuming you are very new)
well major and minor chords are really simple and piano is really simple
play a major C you play C,E, and G, from C count to the keys to E it is 4 half steps, then 3 half to G this is the same for every major chord, you have the root(C) then 4h/s(E) then 3h/s(G), minor chords are the same but you have the root(C) then 3h/s(Eb) then 4h/s(G) now you know how to construct every major minor chord just by counting half steps, then you just have to practise until you memorize each, I suggest you play start by just by learning these basics and understand that no mater what the chord your thumb and pinky are alway static you do not move them when switching chords you'll find that almost every chord has these finger the same distance apart, except Bm/B and Bbm/Bb this is the odd chord where you'll have to think about possitioning your pinky if you play a B and count 7 half steps you'll find that you're pinky is on a black key and your thumb on a white while with all other major/minor chords its white white or black black
