    Hi guys please help me with this
    What chords do you hear in this song? I need the name or the notes of the chords from the intro SYNTH PAD and when the piano starts.

    Thanks in advance

    A#maj7 and Am7
    Edit: maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it's Gm9 and Fadd9.
    G dorian.

    If we accept that the bass is playing the root, then the chords are Gm9 and F9 but without the Eb. And yes, the piano is playing on these chords all the time.
    Gm9: G - Bb - D - F - A
    F9 : F - A - C - G

    With "the bass is playing the root", you mean that the "bass instrument" is playing the root note?? Sorry for my english
    Oh well i tried those chords and now the pad sounds better... i think so.

    Thanks to all again!

    Exactly, I suppose that the bass is playing the notes that determines the tonality.

    As a complementary information, the scale that the piano is using is a G Dorian, as Baxter suggested, or a Bb major scale, which contains the same notes, only the root changes.

    If you play a G pentatonic minor scale it will work well on both chords too.
