Andrew doesn't understand the meaning of the word 'similar'. Either that or he is a player in a one man band. Boom Tish! 😉

Close. In German, Norwegian and some other languages, the note that is called "B" in English is called "H". English "B flat" is German "B". For example, German "BACH" is English B flat A C B (Bach used that as a kind of signature in his music).

Check this site out to help with any chords you don't know... or would like to find alternatives to.

Just punch the chord in as written. (NO Hm, whatever that is!)

I think I have to go take a b minor right now.

I don't understand this term, this isn't a chord... is it? Does it mean something else?

Example:

hm G hm G

F C

--------------------------------

Any ideas?

Maybe it's one of those sounds you can't play on the guitar and you have to hum it.

Looks like open E moved up 2 frets to me = F#

E|-----|--1--|-----|-----|
B|-----|--1--|-----|-----|
G|-----|--1--|-----|--3--|
D|-----|--1--|-----|--4--|
A|-----|--1--|--2--|-----|
E|-----|--1--|-----|-----


Bm would be:

E|-----|--1--|-----|-----|
B|-----|--1--|--2--|-----|
G|-----|--1--|-----|--4--|
D|-----|--1--|-----|--3--|
A|-----|--1--|-----|-----|
E|-----|--1--|-----|-----


Feck? Am I that p1ss3d/stoopid?

err... As I said in another thread very often you download song score only to learn that it is simplificated with some pretty primmitive or wrong harmony progression, much simpler than original song... Internet is a pretty crappy place when it comes to free scores.

like I. IV. V. instead of I. IV. V. VI. II. III. bla, bla etc, etc........

In non English countries, H is the same as B.

So it is not C, D, E, F, G, A, B but C, D, E, F, G, A, H

It's B-minor

In addition to Bach, the Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich used H in his signature motif, D-S-C-H. S is Es (E flat) and H is B natural. The German version of his name is Schostakowitsch, hence DSCH. Dmitri was a great composer, but not much of a guitar player.

Could it be for harmonic? 😕

You can find this theme (D-S-C-H) in a lot of Shostakovich's works (chamber music and even in first cello concert I think ), Bach used his (B-A-C-H) in his last fugue from "The art of fugue" which is left unfinished... Some people believe he passed away while writting this last fugue with his signature motif....

Egocentric weirdos 😛

According to music theory, the natural sign in musical notation derives from a square B. The letter H is a deformation of a square B. Back when musical notation was developing, B was the first note that had to be altered, or flattened, for certain chords. Note that the flat symbol resembles a lower-case b.

See?

So they hadn't invented the B yet. 😏
