Can anybody identify these chords

[azzr10]

Hi guys. I'm not the very best at chords. I'm still learning atm. If anybody could possibly tell me the chord progression in this track starting at 1:24. I really like this track and am trying to re-create it for the purposes of learning.



BTW the track is: Andrea Martin - I still love you (eSQUIRE vs OFFbeat remix)

Thanks alot if anybody can help me

My response to someone else who had the same question (different track):

Here's why yer not getting responses. I only hear double stops most of the time. Frequently in electronic compositions like this, the writer is not even thinking about chords, he/she just wrote a couple superimposed melodies.

It's in G minor, [censored]
And there's a high-pitched drone on G throughout.

Not complete chords. but it is what it is. if you fill in the third voice of the chords in your version it will be badass.

edit - deleted the transcription of the melodies because I completely agree with jancivil below

... sigh ... those aren't supposed to be smileys, they're supposed to be end-repeat barlines

So do that. If you think you will learn by having someone recreate it for you, you may be unclear on the concept.

What you are doing is canvassing for people to work for you for free.

If you do find something out about what happened in that track, but have a particular question you can't answer, do ask that, I for one would want to help you.

You know, I heard that David played a sacred chord that pleased the lord. perhaps you should ask him about the chord.

I got pretty close with these chords;

Dmin, Amin, Fmaj, Cmaj.

Gonna try and figure them out for myself as that's when I will learn the most. Thanks anyway guys!

Wow, you guys actually taught one developing musician to fish. Maybe this tough love thing is okay after all!

Awesome, glad you're trying. I'm completely hypothesizing here, but my guess is that you're using trial-and error on a guitar, and playing along to the recording trying to fit chords...?

Try it again but instead, do it in your DAW. Create a midi clip 8 bars in length and set the grid scale to one bar (cause the harmonies are all one-bar long). Then transcribe it one note at a time rather than trying to just pick out the chord (it takes a bit of practice to be able to do that).

I also suggest this because as I said above, those are not complete chords in the song... and it takes even MORE practice to be able to hear a missing voice in a chord.

The notes in the first bar are G and Bb (we're in the key of g minor). See if you can get the rest using intervals. but try to pick out the melodies one at a time, as in listen for the upper line starting on Bb and the lower G one separately.

forgive me if I sound stupid but you say notes G & Bb. I look in my DAW and there is no Bb on my piano roll. I take it Bb is guitar only?

I'm gonna keep trying for these chords because they are really interesting me now haha

it may be notated as A#

[jancivil]

for the piano, and for the piano roll if you don't use something that alters the midi, that's the same note.

but if the key is G minor, it's a Bb. This is called spelling: G to B to D are THIRDS (which is the structure of your TRIAD, or three-note chord by thirds). G to A is a second. So, G minor: you have G, & a minor third to Bb... Rather than an augmented second to A#. This may seem arcane but understanding this will pay off very quickly, first of all you will have the clarity of what the thing actually is before you.

A# is the minor third of F double sharp. Not that that can't per se be a useful way to spell that note, but here you have G as the basis for the other part, which is a minor 3rd. When you start transcribing things you need to know from thirds... this seems to be running thirds.

ok guys. Here is my attempt at recreating these chords. Tell me what you think and if I'm going wrong anywhere. thanks very much everyone for all your help aswell
