can you change the key of a specific chord?

apologies Caine123 for the temp lock, this thread is not about any member so I hope the hint gets taken (a lot of posts gone)...any ot posts, any name calling, it's deleted and there could be further action. This going on in one thread is bad enough, but carrying it over to two is just completely out of line.

Thx for the info i hope i wasnt against some rules or i missed what happened there.

So far i learned some chords and stayed in 1 key and it worked so far! Still i think i miss something cause it sounds too boring with less emotional movement.

That’s to be expected though - you start simple then build on the knowledge you have gained.

If it sounds boring but you can explain why it’s boring then you learned a good lesson. As you learn more you will be able to give your music a lot more color, and will be able to analyze it and determine what might push it in the direction you want it to go.

Thx man. Next i try e.g. a 2-3 chord progression e.g. eminor scale and see how my song changes from the feeling. I might post a concepttrack

It seems im the trap genre most stay jut in 1 scale 3-4 minutes but e.g. in synthwave there is more happening

lot of trap that I hear sits there on like two chords, a minor feel. Get two chords going, E minor and D major and E Dorian mode and just meander; find out about that F# against the Em and then how it agrees with D; hold notes over the change, take notes mentally regarding what you found.

Here's Keith Jarrett with two chords:

Hint, guitar is useful for learning a bit about voicing if you transfer the voicing of common guitar chords to keyboard. I'd recommend to anybody starting out, to get a cheap guitar and learn some chords.

Also, once you are playing a chord on a guitar, try playing the notes of the chord individually. People can disagree all they want but this is a nice introduction to melody and it's far easier than the same exercise on a keyboard.
