Title: Time for Chords!
Post by: Communist China on March 11, 2006, 09:58:13 PM
Since this is for people with real music knowledge, I'll post it here. If the mods feel the need to move it, that's fine too.

The game is simple: A test of your knowledge of chords.

Spell out the poster's previous chord and then name a chord for the next person to spell out.

Example: C minor 7
Spelled out: C Eb G Bb

I'll get you started: Spell out a Db Augmented 7 chord

Spell out a Db Augmented 7 chord

Let's see:

Db - Db F G#
Db Aug - Db F A
Db Aug 7 - Db F A B

Aaah, this takes too much time. Who uses a Db Augmented 7 chord anyway?  :nervous:

No one. But it makes for a weird sound if used in a minor progression. Sometimes it's kinda cool.

Next:
F minor 7 (b5) OR F half diminished (they're the same chord)

Bb - Bb D F
Bb minor - Bb Db F

^ I'll give it a shot.

E G# B D F# A


Whoever gets this wins the prize of my admiration. Spell out an entire 2-5-1 in the key of A.

Not quite. +11 means an augmented 11th note - A#. So E9+11 is:    E G# B D F# A#

Didn't quite understand that. An entire 2-5-1? What's that mean?

^ Sorry I was looking for a #, not a +. My bad.

2-5-1 is a progression where you take a key, and play the two...

Well, actually I'll wait to see if anyone else can get it.

2 - 5 - 1 in key of a

Isn't that a Jazz progression?  :nervous:

^ Yes, it is. You knocking jazz?! :rant:

In a 2-5-1 the 2 is minor, 5 dominant, and 1 is major

bmin7 E7 Amaj7

If you had a minor 2-5-1 in A minor you'd go: bmin7(b5) E7 Amin7.

 :hihi: Naw, Jazz is cool. Most good guitarists are Jazz players. However, I don't listen to it and hence I don't know any Jazz progressions...

When it comes down to it, if you got your 2-5-1s and your 1-6-2-5s you're more or less set. Maybe a 12 bar blues too.

I know the 12 bar blues progression. What others are there? (Blues progressions, I mean)...
