The harmonic minor scale (or Aeolian ♮7 scale) is a musical scale derived from the natural minor scale, with the minor seventh degree raised by one semitone to a major seventh, [2] [3] [4] creating an augmented second between the sixth and seventh degrees.
By thinking of this blues progression in Roman numerals, a backup band or rhythm section could be instructed by a bandleader to play the chord progression in any key. For example, if the bandleader asked the band to play this chord progression in the key of B ♭ major, the chords would be B ♭-B ♭-B ♭-B ♭, E ♭-E ♭-B ♭-B ♭, F-E ...
The ♭ VII 7 chord, a pivot chord borrowed from the parallel minor of the current tonic major key, is a dominant seventh. Therefore, it can resolve to I; it is commonly preceded by IV going to iv, then ♭ VII 7, then I. In C major the dominant would be G 7: (the notes GBDF), sharing two common tones with B ♭ 7: (the notes B ♭ DFA ♭).
In music theory, a minor chord is a chord that has a root, a minor third, and a perfect fifth. [2] When a chord comprises only these three notes, it is called a minor triad . For example, the minor triad built on A, called an A minor triad, has pitches A–C–E:
The standard tuning, without the top E string attached. Alternative variants are easy from this tuning, but because several chords inherently omit the lowest string, it may leave some chords relatively thin or incomplete with the top string missing (the D chord, for instance, must be fretted 5-4-3-2-3 to include F#, the tone a major third above D).
Musical symbols are marks and symbols in musical notation that indicate various aspects of how a piece of music is to be performed. There are symbols to communicate information about many musical elements, including pitch, duration, dynamics, or articulation of musical notes; tempo, metre, form (e.g., whether sections are repeated), and details about specific playing techniques (e.g., which ...
A contrafact is a musical composition built using the chord progression of a pre-existing song, but with a new melody and arrangement.Typically the original tune's progression and song form will be reused but occasionally just a section will be reused in the new composition.
In a jazz band, these chord changes are usually played in the key of B ♭ [7] with various chord substitutions.Here is a typical form for the A section with various common substitutions, including bVII 7 in place of the minor iv chord; the addition of a ii–V progression (Fm 7 –B ♭ 7) that briefly tonicizes the IV chord, E ♭; using iii in place of I in bar 7 (the end of the first A ...
