Well seeings as i play guitar im not 100% about bass

.

But when you hear the term 6th, 7th etc.

It refers to a particular not in the scale.

For example.

The C major scale is

C D E F G A B C

If i was playing a C major chord, and someone told me to change it to Cadd7.

i would add the 7th

Which in the case of C is a B note.

OH and if you are refering to key signiture,

say if the key sig had a B# in it.

(i cant tihnk oif one of the top of my head =P cuz im a noob).

But it just means whenever a B note is written on the score, you play it as B# UNLESS it is notated otherwise.

It just saves haveing to write the # sign out 10000000000000 times,.

On a 5 string bass guitar what are the notes on the E string?

The same as on a 4 string.E F F# G G# A which is where the A string takes over and continues up in semitones. The 5th fret of each string is the same as the next string open, except where the B string is involved (the 5th string). If the B is the highest pitched string on the guitar then its open note is the same as the G strings 4th fret, not 5th


In music What is a perfect fifth?

A perfect 5th is an interval that covers the range of 7 half steps. The name Perfect is used to distinguish it from other intervals, like 3rds and 7ths, that have major and minor versions.

What is the difference between chords?

That's a rather vague question, but I'll say that specific chords are made of specific notes, and different chords are made up of different notes. from a listener's perspective, it doesn't matter what the chords are specifically, just how the song moves from one chord to the next. I suggest taking a few piano lessons to better satisfy curiosity in this area.


Analysis of prokofiev no10 from visions fugitives op 22?

The humor implied by the heading, Ridicolosamente, clearly places No. 10 in thegrotesque line. The "ridiculous" quality comes from the pairing of the incessantaccompanimental pattern with the humorous repetition of the slurred two-note motives in the right hand. A vague yet identifiable key center of G-flat is established in the first two measures. As the left hand pattern continues softly on a first inversion G-flat chord, the right hand plays a sharply contrasting F-natural. At this point it becomes unclear whether the piece is in G-flat major or B-flat minor.As the piece progresses, new motives consisting of augmented harmonies are introduced (measure 11). An unusual cadence based on the tritone occurs in measures 20-21 and at the end in measures 37-38: E dom. 7th to B-flat minor. A stroke of genius by Prokofiev in measures 36-37 results in a halt of the incessant rhythm before concluding with five brief beats on a I-IV-V-I cadence in B-flat minor.3rds are a prominent factor in the makeup of No. 10. The left hand pattern is almostalways in 3rds. Prokofiev also continues the pattern in this particular set of starting thepiece with harmonies based on a 7th: the F-natural in measure 3 against the G-flatharmonic backdrop. As in No. 5, the disjunct melodic element creates a humorous effect.Reference: http://digitalcommons.unl.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi? article=1008&context=musicstudent
