Theory

>real music

kek

how can our ears be real if music isn't real

I teach theory and piano lessons

I just throw minor chords at a wall and see what sticks

>>72415321
>only people that talk about musi theory are teachers, students and band members (orchestra n shit)

>>72415321
If I am attempting to play in A# for example, write down all the notes in A# and then begin to play various notes from the key in chords in different octaves - am i still playing these chords in the key of A#?


for example: C2 D#5 G5

is this chord in the key of A#?

>>72415552
wtf are you saying. Just play that shit who gives a fuck. Loser.

>thread about music theory
>just play that shit who gives a fuck

im just going to assume that you dont know the answer.

>>72415656
lol I don't

>>72415672
if im constructing phrases of my music then an understanding of the chords within a key of choice is very important, especially when working with sub/bass heavy genres.

>>72415552
>A#
Call it the key of Bb instead and then tell us if you think this question still makes sense.

>>72415698
lmao that sure is pussy talk

>>72415734
Or you could address the body of the question?

C major.

Is the chord C2 D5 G5 in a chord in the key of C major?

Why would the name matter when we both know what I am asking.

>>72415799
Or are you referring to the fact that Bb would have different notes to A#?

>>72415799
It matters because the key of A# major, depending on how you wanna look at it, either doesn't exist or is a fucking nightmare of double-sharps.

The chord you're describing is a Csus2, which has very 'cadential' characteristics, so you'll probably find more functionality for it in Fmajor or G major.

>>72415859
The actual notes I wrote dont matter, the point im asking is simply if i play chords, based over different octaves using semitones that are within the selected key - when combined, is the chord produced deviating from the key or not? or is this *not* a surefire way of staying "in key".


the example itself doesnt matter just the principle.

>>72415916
Octave doesn't matter. The seven letter-names are that key.

>>72415974
Yes, I know the octaves dont matter.

The notes in a scale, when played together as a chord, will always produce a chord in that key? Yes or no? Or is it possible that you could be playing a chord that is "out of key"?

Jazz is real music

>>72416004
Or do chords not have related Key signatures?

>>72416004

If you played all white keys on the piano it would always produce a chord made of notes from C major. Nothing would be 'out of key'.

It's a lot more helpful to take this kind of stuff as a set of names for historically-liked and utilized tendencies, than a list of rules and standards.

>>72416105
Except that I make modern music that is far, far simpler than the music of the past and focuses on mixing frequencies and fixing problems.

"Correct" understanding of a "list of rules and standards" makes it far easier to not have disharmony and unwanted frequencies.


In essence, all you had to reply with, "Yes".

>>72416179
I hope you know, you're a piece of shit.

>>72416232
Why do you think that?

You have taught me nothing and know nothing about me other than I make bass orientated music.

I would say that someone who makes that assumption based upon that is an anal bead, so we're even.

>>72416268
Not him, but you did just spend the whole conversation being somewhat rude to someone who was trying to help you and also not explaining your question very clearly

>>72416268
Because you asked a question you already knew the answer to. What are you expecting to learn if you just want to be told how right and how observant you are? Little fucking faggot.

>>72415552
It's just a C dorian scale if you start on C
As far as chords, it would be a Cmin7 in the key of C dorian
