I’ve seen triplets before but this seems to be a triplet inside another triplet or something, im just confused

I bought this poster at dollar tree for a quick reference on the wall but some of the chords make my eyebrow raise. I'm still learning chords and I know chords can vary but some of these feel questionable to me? I naturally assume this is for standard tuning. Pls help me confirm if the dollar tree poster is legit or if my dollar expense was a cheap mistake ty ty (I hope dollar tree isn't pumping ai although I have accepted this deep down)

UPDATE: the replies can stop now pls,
i beg

hundreds of replies and i now know “e sharp” is not forbidden to exist. thanks everyone who contributed, the matter can be considered closed.

hi i’m learning music theory from nothing, and already need guidance from those in the know. How can e sharp be the right answer above? i thought e has no sharp, but e sharp is the correct answer. anyone knowledgable who can enlighten me? thank u!

Took this photo in Valencia, Spain. It's on parking door (if its important). I am not good in music theory at all. Can somebody solve this puzzle?

Need help regarding this question. Thank you

In Jazzology there is an exercise that says "place an x if the chord contains wrong notes"
But in the chapter before it never talks about wrong notes, and in chord naming there isnt really a "wrong note", it can use unavailable tensions but without context or copying a specific aesthetic you can't really say its wrong can you?

Bear in mind the pattern in the left hand continues beyond just two measures.

I’ve never been a huge fan of the great American songbook stuff but I really like Irving Berlin’s Puttin’ on the Ritz. It’s in 4/4 but with extreme syncopation to the point that the melody sounds like it’s in a completely different metre sometimes. It falls out of sync with itself and then locks back in with a very irregular pattern.

I haven’t come across anything else that does this same trick. The closest examples I have off the top of my head are the bassline in “The Smoke” by the Smile or the guitar riff in King Crimson’s Frame by Frame. The former has the bass changing time signature over a 4/4 beat and the latter has two guitars playing the same riff in 7/8 and 6/8 until they loop back together. I can’t think of anything like Puttin on the Ritz where the effect is achieved by what appears to be syncopation alone in a strict 4/4. Is there a name for this technique?

So I been trying to find an answer to this question and I just can't seem to find it anywhere. Let's say I'm in A minor pentatonic scale and when playing the power chord does only the root note have to be from the scale or does both root note and the fifth have to be from that scale?

What do these two dotes mean please? Thanks.

What are these? I am going into 9th grade band next year and am doing a band camp. On of the songs has these 16th notes that arent filled and i have no clue what they are. Please help

As my left hand sweeps across these arpeggios I want my brain to think about the whole thing as a broken chord instead of just individual notes, but I struggle figuring out how to name them when there’s more than three notes.

Like this example that I’m pointing out here, I’m seeing a C# minor but then the A# throws me off. It’s a sixth tone of the scale so do I say something like C#min 6? I’m still learning notation so please forgive me if that’s not right. Or maybe I have it wrong and I should be focusing on a different set of three notes and build from there?

I love playing beautiful music but I so badly want to understand what’s happening on a bigger scale (no pun intended)

Tried searching the meaning of this, but found nothing.

Hello, apologies for this basic question as I'm a total newbie to music theory.

As far as I know, a chord is made up of at least 3 different notes in a scale, but power chords are made up of the tonic and dominant note only, leaving out the mediant, so it is essentially an interval.

So where did the idea of this "power chord" come from, when it isn't actually a chord to begin with? Why is it named like that? Is it just an inaccurate term used because "power interval" sounds wonky?

Thanks for entertaining this simple question.

I don't understand what these two notes right next to each other mean. When watching a recording of the song I don't hear or see them being played.

I was aware of the treble/bass, and the 8/15 up/down

Even aware of the c clefs (sop-bar)

Someone please tell me what the moveable bass clefs are. Are they just that? Or is it specified in some textbook?

There were several pieces, from the time that many people think that interval was banned, that, in fact, did have a tritone. A lot of these were choral pieces, no less. All of these pieces were commissioned by the Church.

There have also been a few studies to see if the interval was in fact considered the “Devil’s interval”, but to no avail. Most textbooks from that era (and before) talked about the dissonance of the tritone. No mention of the Devil was found, besides Johan Joseph Fux’s Gradus ad Parnassum.

(One theory suggests that “diabolus in musica”, if anyone actually called it that way, was meant literally as “through-thrown in music”, as “dia-“ meant “through” and “bolus” meant “to throw”.)

TL;DR: My point is that it wasn’t used in organum only because it didn’t sound nice, not because it was banned, which it wasn’t.

New student here. Maybe I’m just studying too hard and the answer is obvious and right in my face? I thought this was m3+M3 which I also understood to be a minor triad. Any help would be appreciated because I really want to fix what could be wrong with my grasp on these basics before I go any further.

Composer who never played a bowed string instrument here. This is an E played during 6 beats (120bpm) followed by a D. Those 2 notes are supposed to be played in a single bow, not 2.

I'm not sure of how many slurs i have to add.

PS : if you have any blog post/PDF book that could help me notate music for strings it would be helpful. I really struggle with slurs.

source: Chopin's Ballade no. 1 in G minor, measure no. 207

When writing a song in A minor, since the second chord of the Am chord scale is Bdim, can I not use a B chord that is not diminished?

Why does it say play G and E even though on the second fret if I play those 3 and 2 it's A and F? what am I missing?

apologies if it isn't notated well, it's just the midi clip converted into a notation.

So basically I'm getting inspiration for a concerto and I'm reading through modern composisions and I saw this note, I wonder what it is since its lowkey cool
