I think it started in e minor and it's mainly a mixture of descending 5ths and 4ths, it wanders around in F for a bit then ends in C. The sound is a mixture of the Mark II violins from Redtron and the tremolo strings preset from the Synth 1 VST. I recorded it using Reaper and added some extra reverb in Audacity.

did you guys know that if you put your fingers on the keys and kinda do, like, every other key and sometimes a black one here and there you get a better sound than when you push down a bunch that are right next to each other all at once?

Simple chord theory isn't difficult, and for popular music at least you don't need to know much, you could probably harmonize most popular music with 2 or 3 chords, 4 if you want to sound sophisticated! There are loads of tutorials available on the net.

My limited knowledge came from "The Pocket book of piano chords for dummies" which covers nearly every chord you could think of and "Music Composition for Dummies."

Once you get used to the various chord shapes on the keyboard you can improvise without thinking about what chords you are actually playing. I'm a bit like Fritz I often don't know what chord I am playing but probably for different reasons! However it does help to know what key you are in but even that is not essential.

There are rules but they are made to be broken. J S Bach did absolutely astonishing things with harmony which should sound dreadful, and admittedly do when I play them, but in the hands of a good player they sound wonderful.

Bernie I think it's holding down more than one key at a time.

Some arbitrary names were assigned to them by folks in the "way back times".

It's my guess, I could be wrong.

So Tony, have you actually seen these so-called "chords"? Being a scientist, I must have empirical proof that they exist before I can accept their existence to be anything but anecdotal.

I think it started in e minor and it's mainly a mixture of descending 5ths and 4ths, it wanders around in F for a bit then ends in C. The sound is a mixture of the Mark II violins from Redtron and the tremolo strings preset from the Synth 1 VST. I recorded it using Reaper and added some extra reverb in Audacity.

I think it started in e minor and it's mainly a mixture of descending 5ths and 4ths, it wanders around in F for a bit then ends in C. The sound is a mixture of the Mark II violins from Redtron and the tremolo strings preset from the Synth 1 VST. I recorded it using Reaper and added some extra reverb in Audacity.
