Chord Site?

Post by Durgal » Sat Aug 26, 2006 9:02 am

Anyone know a good site that lists chords and scales that work well together?

This one is ok, but I'd also like one that told me what chords and scales go together. Anyone?

Actually, the exact chart you want is: http://www.apassion4jazz.net/jazz-chords-scales.html

But you might find the other links at the bottom useful as well 8)

This is perfect but sadly it only lists root C. Is there a complete one anywhere?

LOL - this is complete. I invite you to consider learning to work with intervals. Transposing is not difficult. What you can do in C, you can do in any other key. Just count the steps and apply them :)

Using the chart at: http://www.apassion4jazz.net/jazz-chords-scales.html you can see what scales work when you play a Cm6 or a Cm chord. If you wish to apply this information to Fm6 or Fm you would just count the steps from C to F, which is 2 and 1/2 steps.

So raising these scales "C minor bebop, Eb Major bebop, D in sen" 2 and 1/2 steps is: F minor bebop, Ab Major bebop, G in sen.

To look up these scales, use the link at the bottom "Jazz Scales Chart" which points to: http://www.apassion4jazz.net/scales.html

Brilliant, thank you very much. I wonder, is there a book anyone could recommend me that would teach me this stuff? I've looked around but it seems to be all geared towards guitarists.

For a very good entrance-level theory book, I recommend "Exploring Jazz Piano Chords" found here: http://www.apassion4jazz.net/theory_books.html .

For a more advanced book, and one of the very best, try Mark Levine's "The Jazz Theory Book" linked from the top of that same web page.

I'm afraid so.
But you only have to click on download at the top of the site.
And the program is really easy to use. No need for a manual...

I'm using it now, and it seems great. I can understand the basics, but speaking nearther german or 'music', an english manual wouldn't hurt :-)

So, I can use the chords displayed on the left hand side whenever I want, as long as I am using the scale displayed on the right hand side, yes?

You got it! :wink:

(+ did you notice that you can choose your soundcard on the right and you can hear the current chord you click on?)
