Grab your Instrument..D to A...Listen!!!!

Reeler · 7th March 2011, 11:12 PM

If you have an instrument in your home pick it up, tune it, and strum D......then when the note dies strum A.

Let me know what you find. [Please be in a relaxed state and let your mind wander.]

I'll tell you later. Better if you are someone who listens to hi-fi.

The A chord felt very consonant and relaxed compared to the D. It was quite a resolving sound.

SY · 8th March 2011, 01:47 AM

OK, I did it. On guitar, flute, piano, and banjo. Now what?

benb · 8th March 2011, 03:18 AM

But SY, what did you find?

I can't wait to find out what Reeler tells us later.

Meanwhile, I tried the chords the other way around, A then D, and it felt rather uplifting.

Or were we only supposed to play individual notes? To often I get these things wrong.

The post didn't specify instrument or whether to play a single note or chord, if a chord, then major or minor or 7th or whatever, or whether the A should be same octave or next octave...

In any case, here's what I found: D then A. It sounded very much like a IV interval!

Maybe I should fish my wife's trombone out of the closet and try the notes on that...

Hit which drum first now????

Oh, IV - THAT's what it is! I should have recognized it immediately with my protestant-denomination heritage.

The chords go like this, while the following word(s) are sung with all the chord notes:

IV - I
A - men

Opium or dope? Can't decide.... think I'll just take a Valium. I have things to do tonight.

Wait. To compare my results with yours I'll have to take what you're taking, tell me more...

D - to - A

If I'm sleeping I will always waken up to this combination. I don't know why or how. If I am in a Restaurant or some other place, I seem to "startle" at the combination of D-A.

I was always someone who was catagorized as a person who can identify notes, perfect pitch sort of thing, but now I'm 51 and things with my hearing have changed. Strange that it might seem, I perk at the combination of these two notes played in sequence...

D followed by A My brain tells me to listen!

Just these two notes....anyone else have this?

I listen mostly to Jazz & Blues.
