CHORDS APPLICATION IN MOVEMENT A table was given last post showing possible applications of chords to different notes at the breaking of a song. The following hints will make you to understand it better. • Most of the time when a song break at note “l”, you strike the 4th chord “f l d”. • If the song breaks at “t”, you use the 5th chord “s t r”. • Most of the time you start and end major songs with the 1st chord “d m s”. • If a song breaks at note “d” within the song, you have several options of chords to use. At your level you can either use 1st chord “d m s”, 6th chord “l d m” and 4th chord “f l d”. • If a song breaks at note “r”, we will use two chords at your level depending on the style you are using. We use 5th chord “s t r” and 2nd chord “r f l”. At later post, other complex chords will be introduced. • If a song breaks at note “m”, you either use 3rd chord “m s t”, 1st chord “d m s” or 6th chord “l d m”. • If a song breaks at note ‘f”, you can either use 2nd chord ...

CHORD INVERSION

Inverted Chords on keyboard and piano and its Application Chords can be inverted for easy movement of one chord to the other on the piano. Two inversions can be done for a chord. The following are the possible inversion for the six (6) primary chords on the piano(keyboard) giving in the earlier post. CHORDS INVERSION d:m:s m:s:d; s:d:m r:f:l f:l:r; l:r:f m:s:t s:t:m; t:m:s f:l:d l:d:f; d:f:l s:t:r t:r:s; r:s:t l:d:m d:m:l; m:l:d Instead of moving your hand a far distance during progression of songs on the keyboard or piano, you can use the nearest inverted chords to move your hands a short distance on the keyboard(piano). For example the movement from 1st chord→4th chord 5th→1st chord which is played as d:m:s→f:l:d→s:t:r→d:m:s can either be played using inverted chords on the piano as d:m:s→ d:f:l→ t:r:s→ d:m:s or m:s:d → f:l:d → s:t:r → s:d:m or s:d:m → l:d:f → s:t:r or t:r:s → s:d:m etc. ASSINGMENT4: To be done for a...
