Hey can help me with chords to modulate from Ab to Eb and vice versa?
Thank you
According 2 T-Block, the general rule is that you use the 5th note of the key you want to go to in your LH & the 4th chord of that key in your RH. In the 4th chord you will include the 5th note of the new key to make the modulation sound fuller:
so from Ab to Eb:
the 5th note of Eb is Bb, therefore LH note should be Bb.
the 4th chord is Ab, hence the LH chord notes are Ab-Bb-C-Eb...(nb..these can be inverted, depending on song etc).
so
from Ab to Eb, we are playing around this chord:
Bb/ Ab-Bb-C-Eb .play around the inversions 4 the best voicings.
The same principle applies when
modulating from Eb to Ab:
LH is 5th note of Ab (the new key), so its Eb.
RH is 4th chord with 5th 5th note of new key, so its Db-Eb-F-Ab.
so the full chord looks like this:
Eb/Db-Eb-F-Ab.
again here, you find the best voicing by iverting the chords.
For a smooth transition from each key to its 4th, you might find it better to play the 3rdof the new key in your LH , then the 4th of the new key then you get 2 the 5th note of the new key.
The teachers here can correct me where I've made errors..
