10 Important Chord Voicings You Probably Don’t Know (But Should)

[@rillloudmother]

Thank you for another inspiring lesson!

[@lorenzotononmusic]

Thanks to have remembered me that I can omit the 7 on a Xsus4b9 chord, and move this position everywheree

[@slapmyfunkybass]

Very useful, but I have to correct you - in a friendly way of course - there’s a chord which most don’t know and is not only a beautiful sound but possibly the least known played harmony in all of music - minr7th(#5).

[@CalvinLimuel]

I thought they had specific names haha.
1. I used to write it like that but G/C is quicker.
2. this chord is all over SongSelect CCLI chord charts lol
3. I’d say it is an add2, because it actually resolves to 1 instead of the 3. Case in point, Pre-Chorus of Leeland’s “Inhabit”
5. in Gospel we voice with shell LH 1 b7 and RH b9 4 5 8. A would be in the melody so it could be Xb7sus4(13,b9)
6. from studying the block chords of George Shearing and Errol Garner, it’s easier to say Xmaj7#11/7 like interpreted by Chordie.
7. minMaj7(13). The chord tones should be noted first and then the tensions.
9. Also for speed and to get the musician to play exactly what I want to hear it’s just Bb/Ab.

I call that first one the bliss chord, since it lacks the minor triad. No sadness.

[@LonzCantiLife]

amazing as usual brother. what piano sound is that you're using?

[@allinthemind2006]

Just purchased harmony magic. Thanks Noah!

[@NoahKellman]

@@allinthemind2006 my pleasure, hope you enjoy it!

[@LeviClay]

I love these chords, and have spent years telling my students and guitarists to stop calling them m7#5 🤦

[@NoahKellman]

@@LeviClay hahah oh yeah I can see the logic there 🤣

[@GWIZZ2]

[@NoahKellman]

Thank you 🙏🙏

[@Ross_Sandoval]

you rock man

[@keftemee22]

Which programm is it bro?

[@ivansoto9723]

Oh shit, I've used the Sus4b9 before. But it was an A chord instead! I never found anything to do with it other than alternate between it and Amin9 though.

[@robinsarchiz]

I can name all the chords. It may not be the real name, but I’ll have a name for it.

[@NoahKellman]

@@robinsarchiz hahah that’s awesome- I’m curious what your names are

[@robinsarchiz]

@@NoahKellman for example a dominant7#9 might be The Philandering Grandpa, because it’s cool but also feels wrong.

[@rillloudmother]

@@robinsarchiz i have always called lamely voiced dom 7th b9 chords, "my grandme's oldsmobile." so i might be a little older than you.

[@jayd4808]

So real

[@meganeshop]

Can I name "Em7b13" instead of "Csus2/E" and "CM7sus2/E"?

[@pjbpiano]

Yes. The name depends on the function. Is it a C chord in the music? Or is it an E chord? That defines what name it is.

[@drumsandkeys4U]

name 3 chords...

[@ol4765]

my hands are to small for this, I hate myself

[@NoahKellman]

@@ol4765 nahh just roll the chords! Not necessary to hit all the notes at once. Sounds better rolled anyway :)

[@ValirAmaril]

first one, sue, second one, terry

[@Marvelous.Leonardo]

The tone of your keyboard makes it difficult to definitively hear the characteristics of each chord. Your instrument produces a very warm sound, and if it were brighter, it would be easier for me to hear the distinctive nature of each tone within the harmonic structure.
