Help, Chord Pogression in E Flat Major

Featured Replies

So, I have three questions. (I think I posted this in the right section)

First off, I'm terrible awkward with chords. I want to know how to write out this chord progression, so that people can read it easily, and secondly can someone finish it off, I'm stuck on it.

The first chord is a G# major 7th. The second is a G#,7,5#. The third chord I have no idea how to write out. It's root is a G, with an A, a B, a C, and an F. The fourth chord's root is an Am7, without the 5th, and with an add 7#. (I'm not really sure if this chord fits, but w/e). And then my last one so far's root is an F minor, with a D, and E.

I'll attach the midi, if people can't understand what I'm trying to say.

And while I'm at it, can anybody recommend a good book or something helpful for me to understand chord construction. I know how to write major chords/minor chords, 7ths, and stuff like that, but once I get out of the simple triad formula, everything gets fuzzy to me.

Umm... Eb It would be A (1st chord, if the A and B and both flat) VIIc7+4, The 7+4 would be written smaller, and im not too sure... could u re arange the chord so the F is in the bass and the G is the highest not that would make it the above chord, i don't think there is a chord for it otherwise..

Your last chord would be written as VII4+6 with teh 4+6 written smaller.

I hope this helps, im not 100% sure with out seeing a score and writteing out keys and stuff lol :D

Sorry for double post...

Roman numeral chords are easier to understand from a professional pianist, and if you are arranging this into an orchestral piece!

3rd chord:C & B on G chord arent supposed to be in the chord vocabulary, unless its an inversion...

lets see, it could be a 5th inversion of a cmaj76 chord but there's F there, same problem.

so you could write it as part of F lydian chord-like this F#11/G.

4th cord is AminMaj7 unless you meant its with a b7 also which is totally wrong, last one called Fmin6Maj7, really nasty chords..well done!

Just write them with notes dammit!

(Half joking assuming you thought of that)

Uh...ok, do you mean #7? Accidentals go before the notes. G# major? If you are using Eb, then Ab holds presidence.

Yeh I meant Ab, I just wasn't thinking correctly/in the right mindset when I wrote that, lol.
