"Its a clunker"
Younger people may not hear your "clunker", they heard a different version of the tune on Spotify anyway, or they can hear all the frequencies in the chord because they are not old humans with failing hearing.
If you are going to post on the beginners page maybe you could put some effort into explaining why a chord may not fit well into a particular arrangement, and how a beginner can actually identify an ill fitting chord which has not been put there for effect by the arranger?
Is it the key? Is it the pattern of the progression? What is it that makes you think it does not fit in the piece, apart from you not liking how it sounds? Have you ever analysed the music to work out why the sound is not to your liking? Do you even know the names of the notes which are in the written chord and the chord you would like to hear? Beginners deserve a much better explanation and discussion than what is in this thread.
Well it would seem that I owe you and any potential beginners who may have read my posts an apology. I clearly do not know what I'm talking about. When I'm playing some Joe Schmoe's arrangement from the internet and it doesn't sound "right" to me then I must be hearing it wrong. It's probably due to my failing hearing. Or maybe it's the case that it doesn't sound right because a chord or chords are actually wrong but it doesn't matter that I've properly identified the situation as so because I can't provide an in-depth music theory analysis as to why the chord or chords sound wrong. It doesn't matter that I've heard the song a hundred times and know if an accompaniment sounds right or not.
I'm sorry readers. You deserve much better.
