fell in love with 🎸575585

hikari_no_yume playing a normal guitar chord. can you believe it

oh shit 🎸020030->002200->000220 sounds pretty good

i love stumbling upon something first thing in the morning

this is one of those times where we realise that we will have to get relatively deep into the music theory weeds for “good-sounding guitar chords” to make sense

according to some chord identifier web app, this is Em7 -> Esus4 -> Dmaj7sus2\E ^^;;

@hikari chord identifier app is sus: calling something with no F# any kind of “Dmaj7” SMDH.

@steve ah, thank you for giving me another reason to distrust it

@hikari the trouble with chord identification tools is they lead us to want to name every stack of notes at each moment in time as it’s own “chord” instead of stepping back and asking “where are we now, and when does that actually change?”

@hikari they’re not all bad, though. @liscio probably has some good thoughts about this.

@steve @hikari are we talking chord recognition (from audio) or “suggest some nice chords” tools? Both might share some components (e.g., transition probability matrices), but they are applied in very different ways.

I happen to have more experience on the recognition side, but am happy to try and answer questions about either.

(Edit: on second read, it might be neither! 😂)

@liscio @hikari I think this is a “here’s a pile of symbolic notes, give me a name for the chord” tool
