Q. well, i wrote a song the other day but i used tabs to write it, and i want to know how to play it on the piano, but i don't know what chords i'm playing. i've tried to find sites that may tell me what i'm playing, but they're no help. the tabs i am playing are:
1. 079900
2. 002200
3. 024400
according to my voice lessons teacher, the second tab is A2.
help with this would be much appreciated. (:
A. The notes for the first Tab are: E E B E B E. This is an E5 Chord or E 5th, it's the same thing. These are the same notes you play on the piano.
The first E is the same note as the guitar open 6 string.
The notes for the second tab are: E A E A B E. This is an E sus4 Chord.
The notes for the third tab are: E B F# B E. This is a B sus4 Chord.
The low E and the high E notes would be the same notes for all three chords when played on the Piano.
Hope this helps.
how do i transpose chords?
Q. i have an assessment soon, my teacher said he was going to say the notes from a chord, and i have to tell him what the notes would be if the chord was raised or lowered one key. don't know if this makes any sense to anyone, it certainly doesn't to me. he said something about a table that can help, and apparently all i have to do is count up or down 3 notes, if anyone knows where i can get one of these magic tables please tell me, I've tried google, not sure if he even knows what he's talking about
A. If you know your alphabet (backward and forward) you can make one of those tables yourself. Thye tricky part is including the sharps/flats. LEt's start with an easy chord:
G major G = Root, B = the third, D=the fifth
How did I get those?
G1 (Root)
A2 (2nd)
B3 (3rd)
C4 (4th)
D5 (5th)
E6 (6th)
F#7 (7th)
G1 0r octave (8)
Now, we want to transpose G to either Ab (A flat - one half step up) also known as G# ( I am using the small b as a symbol for a flat here)
or Gb (Gflat - one half step down) also known as F#
G - B - D
1/2 step up
Ab - C - Eb
1/2 step down
Gb - Bb - Db
you can see this on a piano if you have one handy
the G is between the first and second black key of any group of three black keys
The B is just above the group of three black keys
The D is just below the group of two black keys
If you move the G up one half step - It becomes the second, or the middle of the three black keys G# / Ab
If you move the B up one half step, there are no black keys to move to, so you move up to the next white key, which is C - immediately below the group of two black keys C natural (uncommonly known as B#)
If you move the D up one half step - it becomes the second, or top of the group of two black keys. D# / Eb
Let's move the G chord down now
The G is wtill the white key in between the first and second black key in the group of three black keys
If you move the G down one half step, it becomes the first of the three black keys, or F# / Gb
The B is still the white key sitting just above that group of three black keys
If you move the B down one half step, it becomes the third, or the top right black key A# / Bb
The D is still the white key in the middle between the two black keys
If you move the D down one half step, it becomes the first, or left black key in the group of two black keys C# / Db
You can even put a drawing of a piano keyboard in front of you if the teacher will let you. Label each of the notes and just go up or down as many half steps as you need to. If this doesn't help, just make a chart of whatever chords you need. Start with C in the middle and go up and down by half step until you fill the page.
