i want to know how chord progressions translate into what notes you actually play, specifically whether you can repeat the same chord within the progression before "moving on" (i.e. play the I chord 4 times and have it still count as the I phase of the progression, then move on to V and play it 3 times…and so on.)

basically: if i play the "C" chord on a piano 4 times, can that be the first part of an I-V-vi-IV progression (i.e. it only "progresses" when you pick a new chord, but you can play that chord over and over as much s you want), or would doing that create an "I-I-I-I" progression because you can only play the chord once.

basically my question could be turned around to: on a guitar you can keep your hands on C and strum away while still being in the "I" part of this progression, on a piano can you keep mashing "C" in the same fashion? every time i've typed the note of a chord in a confusing way, imagine strumming the guitar or playing that chord on the piano. (i.e. Strum C, wait 2 beats, Strum C, Strum G 4 times, Play C, wait 2 beats, Play C…)

or if you like: is the key part of a chord progression playing the chord or the chord change? if you play the same chord twice, does that count as the second phase of the progression, or does it stay in the same phase until you pick a new one?

i tried this and ran into the problem i was content with music at a much simpler level than was necessary to understand it. like, i'm happy not playing chords at all and just finding melodic versions of tunes i like. that's relaxing to sit and play but it didn't teach me anything.

Well, anon, the learning comes from analysing what you've played. Could you give an example of a melodic version of a song you like?

NTA but this seems like more of a piano-playing question than a theory question. I'm no pianist, but as far as I know pretty much anything goes. Listen to the piano in Mr Blue Sky, for example, which has the pianist playing straight quarter notes for most of the verse, and then something like Don't Stop Me Now, where Freddie plays it as a broken chord and does some fancy rhythmic stuff incorporating both hands. It's just about whatever fits the feel of the song.

you could play C major for as long as you want and it would still be written as I-V-vi-IV, since that denotes the chord 'changes' and not necessarily how many times each chord is played

Ooooooh, I see what you mean now. This is an interesting question, because if the chord doesn't change, it wouldn't be a progression so much as a vamp. It kind of depends on context. Like, I'd say that the verse from Ever Fallen in Love by the Buzzcocks is a chord progression, albeit a very simple one. The first chord is held for almost two bars, then another is played, then it is returned to, then the second chord is played, then a third. I'd write that progression as

vi-V-vi-V-I

I wouldn't write

vi-vi-vi-vi-vi-vi-vi-vi-vi-vi-vi-vi-V-V-V

because that takes ages and is silly. If I wanted to show rhythm and meter as well as chords, I'd use a chart, either incorporating numerals or the Nashville Number System (but I don't know how that works, so don't ask)

its because theres natural talent involved anon. No matter what not everyone will be a good singer

Renzo Novatore approves this thread.

I'm curious: is there nihilist outlaw music? Nietzschean outlaw music?

I don't know, maybe this song counts?

People say I'm no good
And crazy as a loon
'Cause I get stoned in the mornin'
I get drunk in the afternoon
Kinda like my old blue tick hound
I like to lay around in the shade
And I ain't got no money
But I damn sure got it made

…
'Cause I ain't askin' nobody for nothin'
If I can't get it on my own

English Lyrics:
At the bottom of my futon in the pitch dark
I'm sinking further and further into this dreamy nightmare.
On the other side of a familiar screen
Is someone's malicious siege.

What fills the walls
between the gaps in the broken curtains?
Is it tirade? A rant? I don't really know.

Euthanasia is an easy and carefree way to die.
I don't want to commit suicide, that'd be too painful.
I'd rather die a safe and comfortable death.
In the dark of night, a dizzy mort d'amour.

American Idiot would be amazing for you to cover if your still playing (I know this was posted three years ago, but hopefully you still lurk here) Comrade, ✊😜! I am probably going to start playing guitar soon, though it will probably take me a few months to start covering some Green Day songs, but once I’m able too I might post some audio here if I’m in the mood for it, 🎸✊😜!

>or something that's going to blister the fuck outta me fingers
And I wanted to suggest flamenco a.k.a the best acoustic guitar music. But oh, well.

Play Highway to Hell or Crossroads ig.

this thread old as fuck and im not reading it all but if OP somehow hasn't learned any songs on guitar and also this hasn't already been recommended, you should learn "Come as you are" by nirvana. its really easy.

they flew to kill the other then suffered the consequences at the hand of local resistance groups like hamas from shit they do to this day like colonial settlering, no tears for consequences of their actions.

Drill disses are so much better.

Not true. Most Jews who came to Israel had zero choice.

Did they have a choice about displacing Palestinians there?

My Marxist take is: Kendrick Lamar's music funni, me like Kendrick Lamar.

Hard to say whether Desire or Blonde on Blonde is my favorite album but as far as single songs go, Ballad of a Thin Man takes the cake easily

Isn't he a giant Zionist?
