I don't have a formal theory background, but I would say sus2 is a triad and add9 is an extension which comes after you already added the 7th? Sus2 is also a suspension, which means it resolves to a major triad. Am I right?
That is why I was wondering! Because a 9 means that 7 is included just like 11 means 7 and 9 are included.
But some chord sheets that I have have a add9 seeming to mean the same thing as a 2 chord. I thought this was a misleading way to notate it and it turns out I was right. (at least according to this video)
@Mark Tomato Alley you are confusing a 9 chord with an add9 chord. For example: C9 would be C E G Bb D. C Maj 9 would be C E G B D. And C add9 chord would be C E G D.
i'm not really sure what the logic is but thats just how it is written. to clarify: add9 means you add a 9th on top of a triad (4 notes). 9 means you build it on top of a 7th chord (5 notes) (dominant by default)
A sus chord means you are omitting the third for a perfect second or a perfect fourth. you can still have extensions on top of a sus chord. for example: a 7sus4b9 (a chord with root, perfect 4th, perfect 5th, dominant 7th, and a flat 9th)
also a sus chord can resolve to a major OR minor chord (or neither). i guess a sus2 resolves a bit more cleanly to a minor chord where a sus4 wants to resolve to the major (2 is a semitone away from minor 3 and 4 is a semitone away from major 3). but you can resolve to either. or neither. while thats how they are commonly used, you don't *have* to resolve a sus chord
I been quiet lately because I have a lot happening right now. Mostly good things! Just wanted to come on wish you a Happy New Year and let you know I'm still active if you message me. I train 2 or 3 days a week for now. I hope to get back to daily soon! 😀
Has anyone with a diamond grade stopped all the training for a while (over 3 - 6 months) and can say they retained their abilities? I’m getting bored of the training but will persist if needed. Thanks
I got sick for 3 months n wasn’t able too practice. I did loose a lot of abilities but it comes back quicker once you start practicing again. It took me 2weeks too a month too get most of my skills back.
Because the devs never added any bass clef games for sight reading or sight singing, and I am a bass, I went looking for an alternative.
I found this website: https://sightreadingmastery.com that allows you to choose what clef you want to sight sing in (either bass or treble) and they have musically valid exercises, as they hired composers to create never-before-seen melodies for each grade level. So not only are the musically valid, they are also of a consistent hardness within the hardness level (yay!)
It is less fun (not as gamified no scoring system) but for someone who really wants to learn, it is fun enough. If @ToneGym Community does come up with a game I will use that one as I would then renew my tonegym pro membership
At the very least the devs could allow a bass clef option under training preferences for Solfègiator
There is a trial at sight reading mastery that allows free training for seven days. Or for those of you who like to spend money, a paid option that IMHO is rather expensive, but also comes with a lot of other benefits, including one-on-one training with a professional once a month.
