Analyzing Chords of Piano Melody in B Major

Video Transcript

"RYAN LARSON: Now, we're going to take a look at our next two measures and we have a couple more chords to learn. Again, the first couple of segments we get our chords and then we start reusing them. So, we have this G sharp minor and that is actually A flat minor. If you search for A flat minor, this will come up. But this is its enharmonic equivalent. G sharp and A flat are the same note. So, we have G sharp minor and then this is A sharp 7. And that should actually be B flat 7. But since we're playing in B major, all the chords are going to be sharps and you'll notice that in fake books. So, if you can't search for a chord and you don't know what's going on, try going up a step and then making it a flat. So, instead of A make it B flat. Instead of G make it A flat. So, I just went up a note and flatted it. And then we have B major. If you search for that, they'll come up in my first fake book, B major. So again, these ones you won't be able to find but if you search for their enharmonic equivalent A flat and B flat. And then we have our melody line here 3, 2, 3, natural 4, 5, 7, 6. Now, with the chords it sounds like this. Very pretty. So, we'll go over our next couple of measures in our next scene."
