Hi

I appreciate that this isn't a very rational viewpoint (and no, I haven't been on the booze yet tonight), but there's something about F Major that I despise.

Its pompous, leering 'blaaargh' really gets up my nose: for goodness sake, we have C Major to occupy the bossy show-off role of the keyboard, so quite why F Major needs to come out with its mocking car horn noise beats me.

Give me a crisp A Minor or mysterious E Major any day.
And I've even time for that jolly fellow, G Major, which sounds to me like a naive puppy dog chasing its tail.

But F Major: I loathe its smugness and refuse to put it into my songs.

Anyway...

Which chords do you seldom use?

And am I the only one to attach 'odd' characteristics to chords?

Cheers

Depends if I'm playing F on the piano or the guitar.

If it's on the guitar then.......

Major chords are just minor chords trying to be sarcastic.

I have to agree. I don't like it on the guitar or the keyboard. On guitar, I just go to Fmaj7 when possible and I'm good. On the keyboard, I throw in the 6th and I'm good. Add Bb in the bass and I'm usually onto something nice.

Cheers

Heh, I always drop open strings to the black keys.

I figure if my schlong is getting lazy, why not my strings?

Bm F

And Richard Wright has done one of the most beautiful chord progressions on history. A.K.A The Great Gig on the Sky.

You sound angry. Have you considered writing an open letter?

It's all the rage!

I combine F Maj with D min and get some really sad hatred out of my songs

Is F Major the most hateful chord? (AKA what chords do you least like to use...)
