Some Music Theory

[andyyhitscar]

What are your guys favorite chords?

[wub]

Depends on the scale.

[SunkLo]

That's like asking what my favorite letter is.

I guess if I had to choose I'd say Lydian delta 9.

omicron persei 8

If you really want to learn some theory there are quite literally dozens of threads on that in here. This is just from this week on this very page:

gotta be about those min sus2's and min sus4's. Boring I know for all the jazz massive but they sound pretty nice (when they are resolved!)

[SunkLo]

All about the modal floating tonal centers that never resolve.

Which sus chords are also really good at. A sus4 is like a ii-V progression in one chord so it establishes a tonal center quickly.

Just put on a beret and play a bunch of seemingly unrelated sus chords that never resolve to anything. Folded arms, lips puckered, B-boy stance, givin other cats the side-eye. Hip as fuck, namsayin.

min add 2 & min add 4, you mean?

[SunkLo]

Gettin all pedantic about naming conventions n shit.

[mromgwtf]

I don't know shit about music theory, so when I do chords, I just press three buttons in the scale that have at least one key space between them. (one key in the scale). Sometimes I do 4 keys. Sometimes I don't leave the space between two last keys, so it comes out as a sus chord. Like, press any keys you want just keep them in scale and do music

I dunno I like C D# F chord. And D F A#. And D# F# A#. Every chord is nice

I just feel it when making a chord progression, than there is only one chord that fits after previous, and my job is to find it.

[andyyhitscar]

Ok here is my favorite chord.

It is the min9th

The way I shape is as follows:

Take the Bmin9

Take a Dmaj7th chord in its second inversion and put a B under that.

So now you have: B,A,C#,D,F#

That min2nd crush on the C# and D add beautiful dissonance for a nice jazzy approach
EDIT:

The chord is actually in my soundcloud tune right under this

[Add9]

I'm not sure what to call this chord, but here it is from bottom to top:

C, G, D, E flat, B flat, F.

It's like a Cminor 9th with a sus4 or something, but when you voice it that way it sounds dope
