Post by: keyboardking on March 05, 2007, 09:48:45 PM
ok LGM i am a pianist and have been playing for about 15 months and i advance very fast on the keyboard and i practice about 2 hours evryday and i was wondering how to put chords into my music that are not written on the paper and give it a kind of weird sound yet it works....

Thats probably gonna be hard... because I think most of us here play by ear.  We know the chords we are playing, but we really dont use written music persay.  I may use a lead sheet once in a while, but its just chords written out like... just for example.. F/C  Eb7.. etc   Is that what you're referring to or an actual score?

I'm guessin I'm more than likely not gonna be able to help you.  Sorry

Agreed. When you get to that space where you want to add the chord. I would first find the single note,then just mess around with some chords for that note. Which ever one you like go for it. Be blessed

Experiment with different progressions or you can even do chords in the next key and bring it right back that works sometimes as fill ins
