Wait...what?!

Thank you.

Evan's cover is hilarious!

How did you like the "Party of one..." It sound interesting from what I've seen about it on the Internet.

Wow, in my book that's a lot. What did you finish reading? And what are you reading now?

Positively tired, I've been cleaning, hence the picture in the picture mood thread. You?

In an attempt to give you rep points for the "Post your mood in the picture form" I was informed that I must spread some reps on other members before allowed to give you some again, so this way I'm giving you some "lol to you too" reps

You're welcome I mean what I said, after all xD

it is i can only hear it so rarely these days, but when i do.. ahhhhhhhh total bliss

LOL

thx, i'm opening it right now. I'll look through it. sounds cool.

Hehe! So cute ^.^.

venting about what? work? hope things are ok. i'm just browsing. have a safe trip home.

so what are you up to?

yay!!

hey i'm fine thanks, how are you?

Well the chord progression for D major is D, Em, F#min, G, A, Bmin, C# dim, and the relative minor is B. The resting tone built out of the chords and the progression makes it likely to be in D major opposed to B minor. Hotel California is in B minor, and your progression is distinctly different from it so I'm pretty sure it's D major.

The way to determine a key is figuring out what notes make up the scale. For D it's DEF#GABC#, and Bm is BC#DEF#GA. They have the same notes but they are tonally spelled differently. The trick for figuring out what chords fit in a major key is remembering how major keys are spelled. Chords in major progressions are Major minor minor Major Major minor diminished (I think).

Basically what I do is listen for resting tone which is usually the first or fourth chord in a progression to determine the possible major key and its relative minor. Then I listen to the structure of the song to determine the pattern and see if it fits a major or minor pattern to make logical sense (I listen for I IV V I progressions and such). Yours just makes sense in D.

You diviate from D when you throw in that C and A minor because the half step gets out of whack, but it makes for a tonally interesting transition that sounds good, and it kinda "pops" out to the listener. It would be a good place, if you have lyrics, to put something you find important or catchy because of the key change. It's guaranteed to catch attention.

Dude, it works! It's in the key of D and I really like that you used C instead of C# for the transition. It breaks the chord structure of D, but it stands out and sounds good. Intentional or not, you've got the ear for making interesting progressions.

You and your tricky chord variations!
