NB: Can't wait to read your lesson on harmonising a scale!

Satriani

Ok, just for you, I'll give a simplified topic on Harmonising a scale, and then I'll add to it later after all the modes are done

NorioDS

Woohoo! Thanks man ?

And when are you going to use MSN again? FFS!

Satriani

Just posted a little bit on harmonising a scale. I'm sure there are good websites explaining it tho on Google or something if u can't wait for more from me?

If I may add my Z$200.00 worth, Minor 6 is more commonly known as Augmented 5th. And for my favorite bit of musical trivia : The tritone was labelled in the 18th century as "diabolus in musica", Satan in Music! So you don't have to play anything backward just play the intro to Purple Haze forwards and you'll get all the Satanic messages you want ?

I suppose it depends whether you're moving up or down as to the name of the Min 6th interval, but I'm pretty much writing these for beginners and amateurs, so I don't wanna confuse anybody ?
The Devils interval yeahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!! For those who don't know, a Tritone (Tri = 3) is any note and then 3 TONES (Whole Steps)up (6 Semitones/Half steps)

And doing an excellent job may I add - I hope you other guys are paying attention this stuff is musicians gold, wish someone had shown me all this stuff when I was a noob

The Devils interval

In jazz you get this thing called tritone substitution- It is a wicked device that allows you to change key without the listener being able to detect it, kind of like black magic ?

To quote the shite McDonald's ad, " I'm lovin' it!" ?

Excellent stuff, Satch and as always, very lucid. Thank you.

Cheers

Satriani

Glad you guys enjoyed. I'm not seeing much point in writing out very detailed explanations of the other modes, because if someone doesn't detect a pattern by now, then I dunno lol. Any suggestions for new topics always welcome?

Hi Satriani

What about the Circle of 5ths & Key Signatures ?
So many guitarist don't know how to properly name an accidental by its correct sharp/flat name, the various methods of analysing the chords of a song to establish the key etc ...
