Chord building help -- any music geeks like me out there?
Started this discussion. Last reply by Benjamin Luce Apr 29, 2010. 10 Replies 0 Likes
I'm writing a song on my non-native instrument piano, and my college music theory is old enough to be failing me. The song is in the key of E, and the main melody/harmony moves while keeping an E as…Continue

Jeremy Tuel replied to Allan Midgley's discussion 'On stage or Off stage?'"Not to invalidate the question, but is this really an issue? Should there be a debate? I've played in numerous churches and worship gatherings, on many different instruments. I've been the main leader, a supplementary leader, an…"

Lorraine Doswell replied to Jeremy Tuel's discussion 'Chord building help -- any music geeks like me out there?'"I'd prefer something much simpler like an Em/F#. I know this takes away your A note but I love the emphasise on the B. Having said that, it depends what you are looking for and what fits with your harmony, I swap and change chords all the time…"
Jeremy Tuel replied to Verah Vashti Okeyo's discussion 'use of secular beats and hook lines in gospel music,Harmful or not'"Right. Beats aren't secular or sacred. The content of the lyrics is what determines that."
bet nich replied to Jeremy Tuel's discussion 'Chord building help -- any music geeks like me out there?'"I would go with the Esus2 or maybe F#m/E - another alternative is B/E (if you are using D#)
E Esus2 A/E
or
E B/E A/E
both are common P/W guitar progressions..."
Benjamin Luce replied to Jeremy Tuel's discussion 'Chord building help -- any music geeks like me out there?'"Yup, grab your guitar and figure it out!"
Jeremy Tuel replied to Jeremy Tuel's discussion 'Chord building help -- any music geeks like me out there?'"Normally if I was writing on guitar that's probably what I would have done. But I heard this intro on piano so I sat down to figure it out, and ended up with not only the A there, but also the F# for a harmony line. I suppose the guitars could…"
Andrea Neustaeter replied to Jeremy Tuel's discussion 'Chord building help -- any music geeks like me out there?'"Hi, Actually E11 has a dominant seventh - so just a D natural which can work. Emaj11 would have the major seventh and I'm with you...ick!! :-) Good luck. BTW, I noodled with different guitar chords and the piano chord and I thought my favorite…"
Jeremy Tuel replied to Cory Zipperle's discussion 'We just can't keep going like this.'"I do agree with that. I suppose I'm just saying the whole issue of labels makes the issue appear more black and white than it is.
But I wonder what the people who created this study think is the answer? I bet I wouldn't agree with them.…"
Jeremy Tuel replied to Jeremy Tuel's discussion 'Chord building help -- any music geeks like me out there?'"Thanks everyone for your thoughts. Definitely not an E2/Eadd9 because of the A in it.
Andrea, I originally notated it as an E11 but as you said that assumes the 7th -- and I believe it's technically the Major 7th that is assumed, which would…"
Matt Allison replied to Jeremy Tuel's discussion 'Chord building help -- any music geeks like me out there?'"I would say, in the nature of the pedal tone being E and the chord sequence I guess you are creating, it sound more like Esus4+9-5! Hope you're good at algebra! Just that it sounds like a very suspended E with the addition of the 2nd (9th), and…"
Andrea Neustaeter replied to Jeremy Tuel's discussion 'Chord building help -- any music geeks like me out there?'"Classically you would form the chord from the bass note as root. If the chord is E major then the F# is the 9th tension and the A is 11th tension. You could write it as E11 (because that includes the 9 but that chord would also assume the seventh -…"
Samuel Sutter replied to Jeremy Tuel's discussion 'Chord building help -- any music geeks like me out there?'"Eadd9 or E2 ??"
Jeremy Tuel posted a discussionChord building help -- any music geeks like me out there?
I'm writing a song on my non-native instrument piano, and my college music theory is old enough to be failing me. The song is in the key of E, and the main melody/harmony moves while keeping an E as the bass note. So the first chord is E, made up of E, B, and G# -- just your regular major chord. The third chord in the line is an A/E, made up of E, C#, and A. The chord in between them is an E, A, and F#. What would you call that chord? It's not a D/E, because I'm not using the D note. …See More
Jeremy Tuel replied to Cory Zipperle's discussion 'We just can't keep going like this.'"Interesting article, but I don't think any one study is definitive. You have to remember that the way a question is phrased makes a big difference. If someone specifically asked me "Would you consider yourself more spiritual than…"
