Maybe I would have to hear it in context, but I think if I just heard those four notes (E, B, D, F#) I would be thinking E min 9 (with 3rd missing). Depends on what everything else is playing. If it’s really in the key of B min and not E min the I think we would say B min over E which I think is notated “B min/E”.
And tell your friend, if it sounds right, then it is right.
Could have been my confusion there… if it’s a D in the bass, Wim got it. I thought you said it was a 4th in the key of B minor, which is why I said E in the bass. In any case, the same notes can be different chords in different scales/keys, and that’s a reason why I don’t even think about chord names myself.
why not simply post a short snippet so we could all hear the chord in context, and you could get a consensus
on whether or not it works? Makes more sense than a semantic discussion on what it might be?
I’ve got a friend who writes cool music on acoustic guitar with lots of interesting inversions - and he usually has no
idea what most of them are, but they sound good - so he calls them ‘Wally chords’.
Not so fast! Those bastards aren’t getting another nickel outta Steve! He’s just fine with VST for windows
circa '96. He can record his guitar straight to the computer. No more syncing to the reel to reel for him!
If you truly love Steinberg as much as you claim, you should do them and all potential future customers a favor and quit … what was Split’s word … oh, yes … wittering!
