[QUOTE=Spaceman Spiff;17196991]By removing that B, though, what's left is an E with a major third and sixth.

The voicing or whatever is not one that sounds like a C#m.[/QUOTE]

oh.

yeah idk why i didn't notice that

So we've learned that I don't know about chords either

e: I still like C#m7 better

My vote is a E6/B chord.

It's the last chord of the progression, the key is F#m. The chord before is an A with a maj6.

Also, as a tip of what I've noticed....

Almost any time you see this pattern:

[FONT=courier new]
|-|o|-|-|
|-|-|[COLOR=red]o[/COLOR]|-|
|-|-|o|-|[/FONT]

you can usually assume that's going to be the basic major triad (with the root note in red). The same thing goes for minor triads and this pattern:

[FONT=courier new]
|-|o|-|-|
|-|-|-|[COLOR=red]o[/COLOR]|
|-|-|-|o|
[/FONT]

:thumb:

Yeah, if you're playing in the key of A and have that A6 before it, it's definitely the E6/B chord.

Now... what exactly is meant by "triad"?


Is a triad a root-3-5 chord?

Yay I'm helpful.

A triad is 3 notes that make up a chord, the 1-3-5 in this case.

So, any 3 note chord is called a triad?

I do believe so, but I'll check on that for you as I wasn't 100% sure either.

EDIT: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triad_(music)[/url]

Okay, apparently it is only a chord consisting of the 1-3-5, 1-3b-5, 1-3b-5b, or 1-3-5#. It's a chord that can be stacked in thirds, which I did not even think about.

Let's look at the intervals between triad notes, it's simply a combination of major/minor 3rd intervals (denoted in parentheses):

Major triad: 1 (major third) 3 (minor third) 5
Minor triad: 1 (minor third) 3b (major third) 5
Diminished: 1 (minor third) 3b (minor third) 5b
Augmented: 1 (major third) 3 (major third) 5#



...the more you know...

C#min7/B or E6/B.


In the case of an ambiguous chord I like to play it and sing what I think the root should be. First impression, I heard E6. Having the 7th of C#m7 so low in the chord sounds pretty odd.

If it's tonal. Exceptions for tone-clusters, and atonal what-have-you.

A group of angry asians.

[quote=honeydutchautopsy;17197396]I knew it![/quote]

I said you were right depending on the chord's context within a piece.

It doesn't really make a lot of sense to voice a 7th chord with the root on top and the 7th on the bottom, let's be honest here.

i'm gonna grow myself a giant afroooo...

(incredible)

I tried having a beard for a while but it didn't work out....too many patches lol

And in reality it's harder to have a beard than just shaving

I tried having a beard, but I haven't shaved for 2 months and it just looks like I have pubes on my face. I'll be shaving tonight.

Everytime i get rid of a beard its food related haha

like i had a pretty mad one going a few months ago, that was going to be epic and i was never going to cut it... then i attempted to eat a kebab... then i saw myself in a mirror... that was the moment i decided the beard had to go :lol:

I think I'm going to sell my uncle's '96 MIM Jazz. I'm looking to buy a Stingray for $500 (black body, black pickguard, maple fretboard), and I think it'll finally be time to get rid of the jazz that sees no play time.

I wrote my first-ever tap piece on it, I recorded numerous times with it, I won a bass competition at SamAsh with it, ripped some funk songs and solos in jazz band with it, and still have a picture of my late uncle holding it (he was the reason I got into music), so I think it's time to let it go and let someone else create new memories with it.

By the way, it's a lefty bass. Do you think that re-stringing it for a right hander such as myself would pose a problem? I'm worried the electronics will get in the way.

The J or the Ray?

Look for photos of the bass player in Doves.

Sorry, J is righty. Ray is lefty.

you do know that the bass player out of Doves plays a right handed bass but does not have it strung lefty?

[quote=lemoley;17198734]you do know that the bass player out of Doves plays a right handed bass but does not have it strung lefty?[/quote]

No matter, do you think the knob placement will get in the way? It's got the 3-band EQ in it.

Yeah, the string placement doesn't matter Mike. The important fact is he has the bass upside down. He seems to manage alright.

I reckon if you took the knobs off so it was just grub screws it would work better too. It just might feel a bit strange in the balance department, and the way it sits on your body. Personally, I'd just get a righty Ray.

Wait why would you buy a lefty ray if you're right-handed...
