  2. Euphonium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euphonium

    The euphonium is a medium-sized, 3- or 4-valve, often compensating, conical-bore, tenor-voiced brass instrument that derives its name from the Ancient Greek word εὔφωνος euphōnos, [2] meaning "well-sounding" or "sweet-voiced" (εὖ eu means "well" or "good" and φωνή phōnē means "sound", hence "of good sound").

  3. I–V–vi–IV progression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I–V–vi–IV_progression

    The progression is also used entirely with minor chords[i-v-vii-iv (g#, d#, f#, c#)] in the middle section of Chopin's etude op. 10 no. 12. However, using the same chord type (major or minor) on all four chords causes it to feel more like a sequence of descending fourths than a bona fide chord progression.

  4. Guitar tunings - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guitar_tunings

    The irregular major third breaks the fingering patterns of scales and chords, so that guitarists have to memorize multiple chord shapes for each chord. Scales and chords are simplified by major thirds tuning and all-fourths tuning, which are regular tunings maintaining the same musical interval between consecutive open string notes. [3]

  5. Chord-scale system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chord-scale_system

    In contrast, in the chord-scale system, a different scale is used for each chord in the progression (for example mixolydian scales on A, E, and D for chords A 7, E 7, and D 7, respectively). [5] Improvisation approaches may be mixed, such as using "the blues approach" for a section of a progression and using the chord-scale system for the rest. [6]

  6. Mode (music) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mode_(music)

    This makes the tonic triad diminished, so this mode is the only one in which the chords built on the tonic and dominant scale degrees have their roots separated by a diminished, rather than perfect, fifth. Similarly the tonic seventh chord is half-diminished. Tonic triad: Bdim or B° Tonic seventh chord: Bm 7 ♭ 5 or B ø7; Dominant triad: F

  8. Fingering (music) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fingering_(music)

    The term false fingering is used in instruments such as woodwinds, brass, and stringed instruments where different fingerings can produce the same note, but where the timbre or tone quality is distinctly different from each other. If the tone quality is not distinctly different between the two notes, the term alternate fingering is often used ...

  9. Classical guitar technique - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_guitar_technique

    Classical guitar techniques can be organized broadly into subsections for the right hand, the left hand, and miscellaneous techniques. In guitar, performance elements such as musical dynamics (loudness or softness) and tonal/timbral variation are mostly determined by the hand that physically produces the sound. In other words, the hand that ...
