I play it like this:
The index finger bars the entire neck at the second fret.
The ring finger is placed on the A string on the fourth fret.
The pinky finger is placed on the D string on the fourth fret.
(The middle finger does nothing)
It depends if you're playing a D flat major or a D flat minor chord. For D flat major, play D flat, F, and A flat. For D flat minor, play D flat, E, and A flat.
Play these keys: C, E flat, G to get a C minor chord.
You find B on the keyboard, then play the black key rightbefore it.
It depends on which scale of c-minor you would use: there are four basic scales, aeolian: this is the scale you extract from E flat major (c, d, e flat, f, g, a flat, b flat), harmonic: (c, d, e flat, f, g, a flat, b), melodic (c, d, e flat, f, g, a, b) - in classical music this is the upgoing version, the downversion is c, b flat, a flat, g, f, e flat, d, c. then you have the c minor dorian scale: this you can hear on so what by miles Davis and is often related to the modal idiom: (c, d, e flat, f, g, a, b flat). to know which scale to use you have to know something about functional harmony: what you play has to have some reference to what's coming (a different chord), f.i.: you cannot play an a in c minor when going to f minor. Notes are what is played that creates music that can be heard. Notes are also what musicians read when they play an instrument.
You will play in the key that is a major second or one whole step above the key the piano is playing in. For example, if the piano is playing in C major, the tenor sax will play in D major, if the piano is playing in Bb minor, the tenor sax will be playing in C minor, etc.
Play these keys: C, E flat, G to get a C minor chord.
It depends if you're playing a D flat major or a D flat minor chord. For D flat major, play D flat, F, and A flat. For D flat minor, play D flat, E, and A flat.
When descending the melodic minor scale, you should play the natural minor scale, which means lowering the 6th and 7th notes compared to the ascending melodic minor scale.
The natural minor would be: E flat, F natural, G flat, A flat, B flat, C flat, D flat, E flat. This has six flats (too many for me), and incidentally is exactly the same as D# minor, which has six sharps. The melodic minor is different on the way up and way down. On the way up, play C natural instead of C flat, and D natural instead of D flat. On the way down, play it the same way as you do a natural minor. And finally, harmonic minor: Leave the C flat alone and play a D natural instead of a D flat going both ways. Pianists tend to practice the harmonic minor, which strings practice the melodic minor. Just ask your teacher what type they would like you to use. There a lot of D# minor scales but i will give you one. |-----11--9--7--6---------------------------------------------E |-------------------9--7--6------------------------------------A |----------------------------8--6------------------------------D |----------------------------------9--8--6---------------------G |-------------------------------------------9--8--6------------B |----------------------------------------------------9--7------e
To play a C minor 9 chord on the piano, place your left hand pinky on C, ring finger on G, and thumb on D. In your right hand, play E flat with your thumb, G with your middle finger, B flat with your pinky, and D with your ring finger. Play all the notes together to create the C minor 9 chord.
What do you mean by this? If you mean a melody, it's the main tune. You play it either by ear or reading music. Or do you mean melodic minor scales? There are 2 types of minor scales; melodic and harmonic. I apologize if you are not familiar with music theory and don't understand what I am saying, but there are harmonic and melodic minor scales. Harmonics involve the key of the scale, plus the raised 7th note ascending and descending. Melodics are also the key of the scale, but with the 6th and 7th notes of the scale raised when ascending, and back to the raw form of the key when descending.
To play the melodic minor scale ascending on a musical instrument, start with the root note and follow the pattern of whole and half steps specific to the melodic minor scale. This means raising the 6th and 7th notes of the natural minor scale by a half step when going up.
Yes, you can play both a sharp and a B-flat on the piano by pressing the corresponding keys.
Yes, you can play a sharp or B flat note on the piano by pressing the corresponding key on the keyboard.
To play a flat on the piano, you simply press the key that is one half step lower than the natural key. This lowers the pitch of the note by a semitone.
To play D flat on the piano, locate the black key immediately to the left of the white key D. This black key is D flat. Press it with your finger to produce the sound.
To play A minor chords on the piano, place your right thumb on the A key, your middle finger on the C key, and your pinky finger on the E key. Play all three keys together to create the A minor chord.
