I have a neckache from the Fete De La Musique 2005. Pictures will come!<\/p>\n
Anyway, here’s a musical theory puzzler for you theoretically-inclined. I came up with a scale while looking<\/b> at the guitar one day, and it goes something like this:<\/p>\n
A# B# C## D# E# F# G#<\/b><\/p>\n
Or, intervally, A# whole B# whole C## half D# whole E# half F# whole G# whole.<\/p>\n
Yeah yeah C## is technically D but writing it this way might read easier for some theory people.<\/p>\n
It could be expressed as an A# mixolydian with a flattened 6th, or an A# major with flat 6ths and 7ths. I love how the A# B# C## D# E# part is major, but the B# C## D# E# F# G# is whole-half scale, a very neat scale indeed.<\/p>\n
I’ve transposed it down from A# to the key of E to make a simple ditty. It might be easier to spot if you play the scale from E#. How did I come up with this scale? As usual, the winner will get linked in the next blog post, and you know how many hits that will get you. Oh and people who already know are disqualified. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
