Just as with simple chords, the numbers refer to scale degrees; specifically, the scale degree number used for the bass note is that of the note's position in the tonic's scale (as opposed to, for example, that of its position in the scale of the chord being played). In the key of B ♭, 1/3 stands for B ♭ /D, 5/7 stands for F/A, 6m/5 stands ...
From the major key's I–ii–iii–IV–V–vi–vii o progression, the "secondary" (minor) triads ii–iii–vi appear in the relative minor key's corresponding chord progression as i–iv–v (or i–iv–V or i–iv–V7): For example, from C's vi–ii–iii progression Am–Dm–Em, the chord Em is often played as E or E7 in a minor chord ...
Tab lines may be numbered 1 through 6 instead, representing standard string numbering, where "1" is the high E string, "2" is the B string, etc. Also, the order of lines is not standardized. Some tablature is written in pitch order, with the high "e" string on top, and descending in pitch order to the low "E" string on the bottom.
In major scales, a diminished triad occurs only on the seventh scale degree. For instance, in the key of C, this is a B diminished triad (B, D, F). Since the triad is built on the seventh scale degree, it is also called the leading-tone triad. This chord has a dominant function.
Diminished seventh chords may also be rooted on scale degrees other than the leading-tone, either as secondary function chords temporarily borrowed from other keys, or as appoggiatura chords: a chord rooted on the raised second scale degree (D ♯ –F ♯ –A–C in the key of C) acts as an appoggiatura to the tonic (C major) chord, and one ...
In contrast, in the chord-scale system, a different scale is used for each chord in the progression (for example mixolydian scales on A, E, and D for chords A 7, E 7, and D 7, respectively). [5] Improvisation approaches may be mixed, such as using "the blues approach" for a section of a progression and using the chord-scale system for the rest. [6]
Drop B variations – B-F ♯-B-E-A-C ♯-F ♯ / B-F ♯-B-E-G ♯-C ♯-F ♯ / B-G ♭-B-E-A-D ♭-G ♭ a tuning which imitates the standard drop B tuning of a 6 string electric guitar, but with a high F ♯ for soloing. Used by bands such as All Shall Perish, Decapitated, Unearth, and Assemble the Chariots,
In music, chromatic mediants are "altered mediant and submediant chords." [1] A chromatic mediant relationship defined conservatively is a relationship between two sections and/or chords whose roots are related by a major third or minor third, and contain one common tone (thereby sharing the same quality, i.e. major or minor).
