  • Amazing!

  • If a note belongs to a chord then it must have one of the above relationships to it's root. So if the note is F# for example I just pick one of the relationships from the list. Lets say the 9th! The I ask if F# is the 9th then what would be the root? The answer would be E. What type of E chords do I have? Major, Minor, and Sus! The pretty much narrows the possibilities down to Em9, E9, EMaj9, Em9b5, E9b5, E9#5, EMaj9b5, EMaj9#5, Esus9 (same as E11).

  • Based on the ads for such a great video, we have not progressed much

  • That was fucking amazing.

  • Wow, great video!

    Great musician!

  • hey i am new to all this theory but i really like the chord progressions such as shown in these videos. can any 1 suggest me where should i begin to improve my listening and observation. Thanks

  • Holding C as the top note and going backwards to each root I practise this a lot on the Saxophone in arpegios ==> (1) C maj, (2) C#maj7, (3) D min7 (4) Eb9 {add#11,13} (5) Eb13 {b5} (6) F min 7, (7) F# maj 7#11 (8) Gmin11 (9) G# maj (10) A+7#9, (11) Bb9, (12) B7b9

  • very cool ideas

  • wow that was nice

  • Norbit !

  • Naturally, the situation I'm referring to is that of composition or arranging. I'm assuming that I have a melody line that has no harmony associated with it because composition is taking place.  But if I was playing an established piece of music I would play the chords that I was given and only deviate slightly based on what the idiom would tolerate.
