Me

who cares nerd

idk enough to know be more specific but its a G# quartal chord
>>
>>62992576
never post this picture again
>>
It's an inverted C# sus4 or F# sus2
>>
>>62992611
so quartal chords are chords that have more than one fourth in them?
>>
>>62992649
Chords that are built of 4ths rather than 3rds like in most common chords yes.

also it might be easier since you're in A to refer to it as a A rather than G#
>>
>>62992680
>refer to it as a A
it was supposed to say A flat but the flat marker didn't show up for whatever reason
>>
>>62992576
sorry kid
i didnt go to music school, i went to avant-garde
>>
>>62992642
So it depends on whether I resolve the G# or the F#? It resolves into E major, so it must be C# sus4?

>>62992692
>>62992692
ah gotcha, will do in the future
>>
>>62992649
>>62992692
hey bitch
see>>62992622
>>
>>62992680
But A major doesn't contain an A flat, it contains a G sharp, so why would he refer to it as an A flat when it clearly is a G sharp?
>>
>>62992714
I do what I want
>>
>>62992576
C#sus4/G# - C#sus4 (6|4)
F#sus2/G# - F#sus2 (6)
>>
Post your rare chord progressions

Gmaj7/A, Gm7/C, F#m7/B, B7 (down an octave, 2nd inversion
>>
G# C# F# G#

Well, the C# is the perfect 5th of the F#, and the G# is the major 2nd of F#, so my guess is that the chord is F#sus2.
>>
>>62992731
well I'm no theory expert so I'm probably wrong then. I just thought it doesn't matter whether its g# or A flat since its enharmonic, and in the case of A major there's no G in the scale so in my mind its a helluva a lot more confusing than calling it a flat.

Unfortunately nobody ever explained to me what makes you want to call it one over the other.
>>
>>62992576
Can be G#7
>>
>>62992595
>cames to a music board to insult those who talk about music

Fuck you
>>
>>62992576
Can be F#9 F#maj9 f#m9
>>
>>62992838
G#7 wouldn't have the C# in it though, right?

also of all the answers I still think C#sus4 makes the most sense because the next chord is E major

Unless I'm thinking about this the wrong way?? Is there any right way of determining whether it's F#sus2 or C#sus4?
>>
>>62992812
Ah, well if you check the A major scale, the reason it doesn't contain a G is because that G has been raised into a G#. All major and minor scales make use of all notes from A to G only once, and some of those are either sharp of flat apart from in the scales of A minor and C major.
In the scale of A major you have the notes A B C# D E F# and G#. You can't have both an A flat and an A, and you can't just skip the G completely. Hope that cleared some things up for you.
>>
>>62992576
VI9, can be Vi9 (minor) Or VI79(V/ii)
>>
>>62992576
Garbage.
>>
>>62992902
I don't think we can tell from just the next chord, we have to know the movement of the progression as a whole.
>>
>>62992576
it's a G# quartal chord like was said before in this thread, you can also use a D# in addition and that gives a very open sound. Mccoy Tyner used this a LOT specially in coltrane's quartet albums so check it out. It's an awesome chord that gives a certain vibe that nothing else can give.
>>
I just call that open tuning chord, nigger here sans five, asshole. Sorry, i have typingtourettes. It's a new type, shitgobblecobbleswastika.
>>
>>62992965
A major, chord in op, E major, E G# B D G#, F# B D F#, back to A
>>
>>62992902
Could be, the F# is the 7 and the C# is a sus4, we should know more about the context, can you tell what chords are after and before?
>>
>>62992986
noob here, how can it be a quartal chord if it contains an F# and G# beside each other, they're not a fourth apart? Or do octaves of the root not count?
>>
>>62992986
What he said, fuckmice.
>>
>>62993043
Correct
>>
>>62992916
>Hope that cleared some things up for you.
Yes sir, thanks loads mate
>>
>>62993043
Yes they don't count.

That said, it is interesting because even though its still considered a quartal chord, it will have a *slightly* different feel than a quartal chord made from ONLY 4ths as the interval between between F# and G# still physically exists in the chord.
>>
I will just say that it's a neat chord in F# major

try playing it a half step lower on a guitar on the three highest strings ( xxx011 ) and then just add a bass note from F major while strumming that and change the bass note around and it sounds cool
>>
>>62993043
Because there's still a C# with can be considered the 4th of F# if you invert them. Quartal chords are all about inversions.
