Hey Folks,

Happy Sunday! Quick question! I am not at all a piano player. Fat Fingers. Please excuse me if this question is obvious.

In reviewing where I am weakest, I have found that it happens to be within the game 'Route VI'. In the lead-up before the chords found in the answer play, what are those notes? I know it is to give you an idea of the key you are in, but what is played there? Basically, how is this hint helpful to me?

Thanks!

I believe it is a tonic triad.Other than giving you an idea of the key you are in,i think there is nothing else.

Thanks! So if I am in C, that whole lead-up is CEG, then full chord?

Yeah,once arpeggiated,and once harmonically.It basically tells you what the I in the progression is.

I wonder if the mislagnment of the lines means bass clef could soon be an option???!!! 🙏

Being a developer myself, I don't think so, they don't need to do that to add the bass clef :) Is your browser zoomed in or out maybe?

One thing contributing to that may be that the levels after the red star do not give as much TPI.

I was wondering about the difference between a 2 chord and an add 9 chord. I found a great explanation here:

@Andrew Shewaga Nice clarifications, yes!

@Benjamin Jack Yes, it could be that the person who wrote the score didn't exactly know the difference. As @Andrew Shewaga was pointing out, I wasn't clear in my definition: the 9th is a chord extension (the second round of available notes after the first octave has been used), while a 2nd is not.
