Hi audiophiles I'd like to know which chords are used in this clip

Thanks

[EDIT: file changed]

It's in Eb Major. Chord 1 is Ab major 9th +12th, and Chord 2 essentially the same chord, but in Eb, and voiced differently (with an Eb bass)

A nice way of spacing these notes out on a piano would be:

Chord1

Left hand: Ab

Right hand: G, C, Eb, G


Chord2

Left hand: Eb

Right hand: G, Bb, D, F

Put certain notes in different octaves to find the voicing that suits what you're doing.

Hope this helps!

Genius Tried that, sounds the same. Thank you very much!

Anytime mate

nice ear jblake =)

OK, round 2

Cant reproduce I hear there is 2 chords and in the 3rd bar it is same like in 2nd bar but one note changed.

So, which chords here?

Cool, it's late but i'll give it a go
lets say we're in F (guessing)

- A, E, G, A and D on a pad sound -
- F below middle C on a rhodes piano, then (really faintly) you get an A an octave above, then A and G together in that same octave. Then the higher note that comes in on the rhodes is an E, two octaves above the first F. -

It only repeats itself the second time, don't worry.

That should be about right. Its hard to seperate all the notes going on in that pad but the general jist is that it is an F major 9 chord with a major 7th and 6th, so the main elements of that overall chord feel are:

F, A, D, E, G

Fadeg.

Play around with those notes, put them in different octaves so they don't clash, and you should get a similar feel. (Remember the F is the bottom note of the chord, the others can go in any order)

Hope this helps!

i had 9 years of piano training on and off long road ahead good luck thou lol ur gonna need it

Thanks JBlake, i'll try...

sounds like an f bass note with a c e on top

or just an fmaj7 chord.. it just switch the bassnote so the function of the chord will get different. function = feeling

I thought too there have to be note C also....messed about 1 hour - got quite same sound, my sound and this sample even sounded well together but my sound was far away the same feeling:S Looks like just have to use this sample

well yea thats not really weird is it ? i mean you also need the sounds to make it that kinda trippin/mellow.

i thought i may aswell take advantage of your musical knowledge jblake.

could you tell me the chords being played in a skank style by the melodica

Ok it's in D minor

the first bit is just D minor then A7 (fiddle around with adding an A sharp to it to make it a bit snake charmy an' that)

the main tune chords are:

D minor, Eb Major (with G bass), D minor
D minor, A7, D minor.
D minor, Eb Major (with G bass), D minor
D minor, A7, D minor.

Well I learnt classically, which trained my technique, and spent a lot of my time playing piano to motown/jazz records as I was growing up, which trained my ear.

If you want to be a balanced player, i'd advice going that way of going about it. But I would say the quickest and the most enjoyable way of learning is to play to your favourite music, gradually fine tuning what sounds right. Oh and I can't stress the importance of practicing and knowing your scales and chords. It's all about hearing something and knowing what it is, nomatter what key its in (cause its always the same interval or chord type, whatever key you're in).

like that... Just learn the intervals of chords and melodical scales. Then learn the logical way of using functinos of chords. tonica, subdominant,dominant, etc. etc.
