Why are fourth and fifth chords perfect?
Asked by Wiki User
A fourth and fifth interval, or as you called it, chord, is perfect is because it doesn't sound right in both a major or minor scale. Now, I know that isn't my most specific answer, but basically, one of the more plain major of minor chords, is a third. Let's say, if it was a C major third, it would have C and E, which would have to be major, due to the fact that there isn't a E in C minor, but instead, E flat. Yet, if it were to be a fifth interval chord, it would have to be perfect, because the G (fifth interval), appears in both C major and C minor. So...yeah...
How do you play a bar chord on the guitar if your index finger can't hold all the strings down enough?
Asked by Wiki User
You don't.

Can you have a double flat in a diminished triad?
Asked by Wiki User
Yes, B flat is lowered to B double-flat. It makes more sense though to call this particular chord D sharp diminished since the notes are D♯, F♯ and A (no double flats) and the Eb diminished triad is technically derived from F flat Major, which is certainly cumbersome, whereas D sharp diminished occurs in E Major, much simpler notation indeed!

Why do you use roman numerals for chords?
Asked by Wiki User
The number corresponds to the root note's position in relation to the tonic. By using Roman numerals, upper case indicates major chords, while lower case is for minor (and diminished), which can't be done with Arabic numerals.
What is the definition of chord progression?
Asked by Wiki User
A chord progression is sequence of chords that describe or give an outline of the changes in harmony during a piece of music. In tonal music, which is based on a musical key, the chord progression moves the harmony away from the tonal center to create tension and moves it toward the tonal center to create resolution.
In tonal music, chords can be built on each degree of the scale. For example, in the key of C major, the triads (three-note chords) on each degree of the scale are: C, Dm, Em, F, G, Am, Bdim. In the key of D major, the scale-tone chords are: D, Em, F#m, G, A, Bm, C#dim. The pattern of chord types (major, minor, minor, major, ...) is the same in every major key. The tonal center is the harmony built on the tonic note of the key.
For more elaborate harmony, four-note chords can be constructed on each degree of the scale in the same way. For example, in the key of C major, the seventh chords are: Cmaj7, Dm7, Em7, Fmaj7, G7, Am7, Bø (that's "half-diminished"). The same idea can be extended to five-note and even six-note chords.
The function of a chord depends on its position relative to the tonic of the key. Chord progressions follow a variety of patterns in which the harmony moves from one chord function to another. Since the pattern of chord types is the same in every major key, the patterns that chord progressions follow are similar in every key.
As a result, musicians find it convenient to remember chord progressions in terms of the chord positions relative to the tonic of the key, rather than the actual chord names. Customarily, Roman numerals are used to represent the relative chord positions. For example, in the key of C major,
- I = Cmaj7
- ii = Dm7
- iii = Em7
- IV = Fmaj7
- V = G7
- vi = Am7
- vii = Bø
So, a very common chord progression can be written as "vi-ii-V-I". That chord progression can be played in any key. In the key of C major, it would be "Am7 Dm7 G7 Cmaj7". In the key of D major, it would be "Bm7 Em7 A7 Dmaj7". The chord progression produces the same recognizable movement of the harmony, regardless of the key. If you memorize the chord progression, rather than the chord names, you can play the same tune in any key you wish.
As you learn to play different songs, you will notice that there are some chord progression patterns that occur frequently. By learning which chord changes lead away from the tonal center (create tension) and which ones lead toward the tonal center (create resolution), you will discover how to create your own chord progressions, in any key.
Of course, there's a lot more to it than that. There are various altered chord qualities that can be applied to the different chord types to make the harmony more interesting. There are the chords that are not built on the scale tones, which allow you to take the harmony even farther away from the tonal center. You can also borrow fragments of chord progressions from other keys, to modulate away from the key in which you started, entirely. That gets interesting, because you might not be able to come back by the same route that you left!

Who is the true ARTIST OF the song hallelujah?
Asked by Wiki User
There are two popular songs called "Hallelujah."
Leonard Cohen wrote a song called "Hallelujah." It was originally released in 1984. It has been sung by Jeff Buckley, John Cale, and many others. The first lyrics are "I heard there was a secret chord that David played and it pleased the lord." This song was originally wrote by Leonard Cohen. John Cale heard the song and he requested the lyrics from Cohen, Cohen sent Cale roughly 15 pages of lyrics, so Cale selected the few verses that spoke to him the most. These few verses selsected and performed by Cale make up the most popular and widely known lyrics for this song.
Over 200 years earlier, in the 1740's, George Frederic Handel composed "Hallelujah" as part of a much larger work called "The Mesiah." This song was orgianlly written for a four part chorus, and is frequently assoicated with Christmas time.

Scales can also be used to help write a guitar solo
A great way to learn about using scales and chords together is by listening to and learning 'little wing' by jimi hendrix. In this song, he plays chords, and then uses notes from scales (that relate to those chords) to form nice melodic parts.
scales can be used and improvised within to create scales and chords are chords, you just put them together in what ever way sounds good.
