Theory of Major and Minor Chord Sounds Thanks, jjmusicnotes, I re-read your answer when I had more time, and appreciate it. Chris, the question was more about how (and why) certain notes blend as they do, not what a particular note sounds like. |

Theory of Major and Minor Chord Sounds Playing TWO notes from a chord, earlier, made me think that some of what you state is right. In context is the key, excuse the pun. When one's ear is tuned to, say Cmaj, the C+E is obviously a major blend. But - follow on with E+G, and it's still (in my ears) major. In a different context, say E minor, E+G sounds minor, only because it is. All this we maybe know - but the original question still stands - WHY ? (or WHY NOT? ) |

Theory of Major and Minor Chord Sounds I felt the question was semantically clear, words and phraseology fine, however, if the changes make it more intelligible and it enables more answers to be revealed, so be it. |

Theory of Major and Minor Chord Sounds I take your idea of G reinforcing C, as C has a G harm., whereas G doesn't have a C harm., at least not till number 9, when it's pretty weak. |

Theory of Major and Minor Chord Sounds !st harm.= octave, 2nd = 5th, 3rd = second octave, 4th harm. = maj.3rd. So it probably is to do with harmonics. Where does that leave min. 3rd in this scenario? Also, E -G will always be a min.3rd, as C-Eb is, so the 'echoing frequency' syndrome should still occur, given that the perfect 5th, G, is constant. |

Theory of Major and Minor Chord Sounds Slim, please read carefully ! But either way, they BOTH contain one maj. and one min.interval.E.g., Cmaj. C-E=maj.3rd, E-G =min.3rd. Cmin. C-Eb =min 3rd, Eb - G =maj. 3rd. |

Ambidextrous instruments It's a bullroarer - bullroar is synonymous with bulls**t. Or is that what you meant !!? I tried the same with a Leslie cabinet, but it's really, really dificult. Ha ! |

Knowing what chord to play next? When you write out music try to keep to ## OR bb.Mixing them mixes up the reader ! There are occasions when an accidental MUST be # or b specifically, for technical reasons, but not in this tune. Quite like the arrangement. You've moved a tritone - the Devil's interval. Used a lot in jazz. What's next depends on the next bit of tune.Down one semitone may keep the 'jaunty' feel. |

Knowing what chord to play next? It would help if you posted ,say, the melody line of this track, as a clear example of what you're having trouble with. |

Ambidextrous instruments Matthew, thanks for your input. I don't believe any of those activities use fingers, only full hands. Just a thought, as maybe the term 'handed' is actually too vague. |

Ambidextrous instruments I've often considered the guitar (which I've taught for many decades), as actually being better designed for lefties.Apart from finger picking or classical playing, the left hand fingers do most of the work. Right hand is more right arm when strumming.In fact, I think it's more versatile being played on one's lap, but still left-handed. Of course, most guitarists will disagree, as they've already learned the orthodox way. Food for thought? |

Ambidextrous instruments "Percussion instruments don't really count" - I've had the same problem with some drummers.......... |

Ambidextrous instruments Apparently, some rich guy - muso - had a piano made that WAS left-handed, as in high notes on left. It may be an apochryphal story. |

Comfortable notes in a key It WAS included in your answer ! That's why it re-appeared , not as iv6 - V, but ending on III(maj.) Yes, it's out of this question's remit. |

Figuring out the difference between major and relative minor scales? I used songs, as in my original statement. Common means most numerous - even 25% doesn't come close, sorry.Often is similar. What about the chords in a key ? |
