A lot of good stuff there about piano chords of all kinds, see you there. If you haven’t already signed up for my newsletter be sure to do that, come over to and sign up for my free newsletter. See you tomorrow with another piano or tip. Okay, and you can do the same so have at it. That’s not a song, by the way, I was using chords that I made it up as I was went along. It’s just illustrating that the same chord can be used to play many many different styles and it’s all in improvisation. I hope you recognize that I played the same chord progressions on all three or four of those improvisations. That was kind of a formal full chord style. Let me do an entirely different style okay? In this article, we will learn which notes make up the G minor chord, which fingers to use to play it in each hand, and some of the music theory behind how some notes are turned into flat notes. Like all minor chords, the G minor piano chord consists of three notes. You can improvise in any style, of course. The G minor chord is frequently used, and appears in many different genres. Of course that’s is just one style, that’s kind of a fun kind of silly style. Use your pedal to hook the low note to the chord then let it up push it down again as you hit the new low note, hook it to the chord, and so on.Ĭombine that with something in the right hand and you’re off to the races as far a improvising is concern. It gives a little of rhythmic kind of a horse kind of plodding along that kind of thing. That was kind of a swing along kind of swing base, notice that I’m doing the same thing I’m plying a C chord but I’m playing a little thing here before the rest of it. Then if you are playing G augmented hit a low G and then play the G augmented chord. Then if you are playing D minor hit a low D and then D minor Chord. Then if your chord is A minor hit a low A and then an A minor Chord. Now, a simple swing bass is just hitting a low root, whatever it is, if you’re playing a C chord you hit a low C and then the C chord. The four note chords with sevenths are Dbmaj7, Ebmin7 Fmin7, Gbmaj7, Ab7, Bbmin7 and. The triads in the key of D flat major are Dbmaj, Ebmin, Fmin, Gbmaj, Abmaj, Bbmin and Cdim. Like every other major key the chords in this key follows the pattern major minor minor major major minor diminished. In the right hand I’m just making up that simple melody, in the left hand I was using a simple swing bass. The notes in this scale are Db Eb F Gb Ab Bb C Db. I may not do the same thing around this time, so you’ll see. Just take a simple melody, make up a silly melody that was a silly melody but its a melody, and it’s a motif, Its a theme and I just played around with the music. You can play you don’t have to play real complex stuff when you start out. That’s C major, A minor, D minor G7 and then G augmented major, minor, minor that’s the 7th chord I think I used and then that’s minor, and then I think I went like this, C major, C diminished, minor, G augmented and then C. I used all four kinds of chords right there, let’s take it slow, I went. Let me just play a little bit, using just those kind of chord and see if you can tell what they are. Complex stuff that we would like to use but you don’t have to. Now later you can use sixths and sevenths and ninths, elevenths and all that. When people start improvising I encourage them to take a real listen and use the basic chord. This is Duane and today I would like to talk about getting started improvising using just the four basic piano chords types. Here is a transcript of the video if you want to follow along: For example, you can play G Major Pentatonic over a C Major chord or E Minor Pentatonic over an A Minor chord.Piano Chords: Using Major, Minor, Diminished & Augmented Chords To Improvise By “being outside the key” means that you don't necessarily play chords and scale that match considering notes. The Pentatonic Scale is a flexible scale for improvising and apart from the standard way, which is combining a scale with chords in the same key, you could also be outside the key. The Pentatonic scales can also be blended into the Pentatonic Hybrid. Variants of the scaleīesides the two standard version of the Pentatonic Scale there are some variants and these are: The relationship is the same as for the Natural Minor and regular Major.
