What chords were used here? (

[G.E.PRODUCTIONS]

Please watch this video from 5:00 to 5:20 and tell me what are the chords used in the music playing in the background?
To me it sounds like the root notes are something like C,B,A but maybe I'm wrong because I can't find chords that sound like that.My ear isn't trained so I'm not very good at this kind of thing.

1) I have to sign in to see/hear this, so it had better be good (i.e. if it is not suitable for certain ages it must be the video not the audio)

2) this is in 12/8 or 9/8 or 6/8 (your call) I hear it as 9/8 (compound time equivalent of 3/4)

3) Notes are A-----ABG | C-----BAG | A-------- | --------- | C-----CBA | E-----DBG | A-------- | --------- ||

4) no chords as such but this very much A Aeolian (A natural minor)

5) We could infer some chordal movement as follows:

Am------- | Am-----GAmG | Am-------- | Am-------- | C-------- | Em-----G-- | Am-------- | Am-------- ||

Thanks ! I'm a little confused about how to read this though...I'm not familiar with this type of notation.

Note-name/chord name is just that and on its own represents a single 8th note

each dash (-) represents one 8th note: it lengthens the preceding note name by one 8th, several add up to longer lengths

| is a timing break based on my reading of this as being 9/8
