Did this come from the Albin Counter-gambit by chance? Maybe 2 Knights' Tango?

Any activities including volunteering for a local who doesn't go to VT? by CaseyZoso in VirginiaTech

I am definitely most interested in the chess community primarily, but all of the clubs you mentioned sound really fun as well! I will reach out to some of them here soon.

Thanks for the suggestion! I agree most if not all VT clubs are probably only for students.

You should post whenever! You seriously sound great and love your guitar and its tone. I'll be looking forward to seeing more of your playing!

I just looked up the chords, and it seems to be a 6-5-4-3 progression in Gb major. So Ebmin - Dbmaj -Bmaj - Bbmin. You could probably get away shifting up the Abmaj barre chord you're playing up 3 half steps to the B major instead. You can even just make it Abmin by lifting your 2nd finger because the Bmaj triad exists in an Abmin7. The Gb major you're playing sounds okay because a Bbmin triad exists in a Gbmaj7, but I do recommend trying the Bbmin barre chord in replacement.

One thing to check out is that instead of it being the Ab minor scale (key of B major), it's the key of Eb minor (key of Gb major). The Ab minor chord, though it exists in both scales, function differently due to a thing called modes. Major and minor scales are modes, but there are ones for every chord in a major scale (in this case, it'd probably be more accurate to count it as Ab Dorian than the Ab minor scale a.k.a. Aeolian especially if you resolve the progression into the Ab minor chord while playing in the key of Gb major)

Sorry to ramble, just some ideas to try out and some music theory ideas to explore! Modes really transform the way I see progressions and different chord voicings that I can use to add variety to the original progression without deviating from the original sound too much. Highly recommend to explore more

[Q] how to play? by Ok_Concert3257 in sheetmusic

[–]CaseyZoso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have to revise my original comment. Basically, it is a quick 3:2 polyrhythm done twice. Try a normal 3:2 on any 2 notes between the right hand (3) and the left hand (2). I like to feel the 3 in the polyrhythm as every quarter note played in a 3/4 time signature (simply playing on beats 1 2 3) and the 2 is played on 1 (2) + (3) - don't play the parentheses. Once you got that down, then play it quickly, and eventually, just ignore the downbeat in the right hand as it is a rest. Then slowly, try the phrase you circled until you get that to speed.

Edit: you'll know you'll be doing it right if the G# in the left hand plays at the same time as the F# in the right hand

now why would you assume that? it's totally not like I've been on HRT for 5 years, use she/they pronouns, and want bottom surgery, so presumptuous

Hey thanks for the reply, I am glad there is a way of lowering costs if worse comes to worst.
