  1. that's cool and all but learning the language of music can really help you better express your snowflake emotions and such. "true" art can suck my balls. if you're happy babbling random shit on your guitar and calling it "true" art, that's fine. toddlers enjoy doing the same with their mouth and we don't call that art but that's fine. if however you wanna say specific things with your music, learning some vocabulary and shit is not gonna hurt. but you do you. please indulge yourself with your lame-ass riffs and pretend you're a "true" artist with a profound vision and shit. enjoy.
  2. those aren't that hard to play, you just need to play half the notes with one hand and the other half with the other hand (duh). if you don't know what fingers to use, that means you need to learn basic fingerings. it's not that hard, you just need practice. there are many solutions to this. for example you could learn the same voicing in all 12 keys, and decide in what key you're gonna play it before even touching the keyboard. one efficient way to learn a voicing in all keys is to use the circle of 5ths. if you don't know what that means, basically play your G chord, then the next chord is the same voicing but transposed up a perfect 5th, repeat. so the next chord is D, then A, E, B, etc. or you can play the chord that's a perfect 4th above (circle of 4ths). so G, then C, F, Bb, Eb, etc. this way you can build muscle memory in all 12 keys, which is the goal. another solution is to learn other voicings for a G chord. i hope you do realize that any chord can be played in a number of different ways. for example, if you play G Bb D for a G minor chord (G minor in root position), try the different inversions (1st inversion: Bb D G, 2nd inversion: D G Bb), or try this voicing: G D Bb (1 5 b3 instead of 1 b3 5 - you can even remove the 5th from that voicing for a more sophisticated). or you could play a G minor 7 voicing, like G Bb F for instance (this is called a shell voicing, you just play the root , the 3rd and the 7th - very much used in jazz). or you could play a bunch of rootless voicings like a true jazz wizard lol.
  3. guys, zeff is literally just an autistic loser, cut the man some slack.
  4. i literally came up with the greatest chord progression of all time (page 2). the boss.
  5. please xox do explain how music curves spacetime and how spacetime itself = will smith² i'm interested.
  6. assuming you're not a troll: i'm not trying to be mean or condescending but dude, your question and explanations make no sense. apparently you don't know the difference between melody and harmony, and you're obsessed with indicating the octaves for some reason, when it's completely irrelevant - plus your indications are wrong lol. my 1st advice to you: don't even try naming the notes/chords/whatever you come up with, you have literally no idea what you're talking about. it's ok, you just need to learn the basics. 2nd advice: learn the basics. by that i mean, you need to understand what a tonal center is (tonality), what a scale is, what a diatonic chord/melody is. your chord "progression" is in F minor btw, not F major. you need to learn the basics. and please stop with the octave/register shit, it's completely irrelevant here.
  7. @cern i was being serious btw, your question is pretty vague and ambiguous. maybe you could post your bassline and ask a more specific question, that would help. as is, all i can say is, play whatever diatonic chords from the F major scale and call it a day. lol
  8. it's unclear to me what it is you'd like to know. care to be more specific?
  9. "if you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough" - julio iglesias it depends on what you're after. clusters in the low register are cool but since they sound muddy af, they aren't gonna be of much use unless you're trying to achieve a certain effect. so there are acoustic reasons that explain why they're not used that much, it's not an arbitrary rule.
  10. i'll never forget the "music bends time / time equals will" fiasco xox, do you hear me? never.
  11. er, pretty much any person who studies music gives a fuck. i don't know if that's supposed to be a pun or anything but it's terrible in any case, lol. plus what do you mean? that jazz is some marginal shit that's unworthy of interest? cause if that's the case, i'm sorry but you don't even know what you're talking about. if however that was another one of your terrible jokes, dude, you need some coaching on that lol. again, it's all a matter of context. it is easy though, you just need to know what you're talking about a bit, is all
  12. i'm sorry but there's nothing inherently wrong with major 2nds or b5's. there aren't wrong notes per se in music, it's all a matter of musical context. b5's are used all the time in jazz for example and if by major 2nds you mean playing the 9th next to the root, in a diatonic cluster kind of way, that sounds perfectly fine in the middle or high register - not in the lows though.
