Hi! I’m Mark Black and welcome to expertvillage.com. We’re going to talk about intermediate theory
concepts. I just wanted to get another instrument for you to make this illustration, and here’s
the point is that. In a blues or a blues bass rock like Lynrd Skynrd doing Sweet Home Alabama
and other blues bass rock songs, a full on blues the minor blues. Here’s a E minor
blues…blue notes. All through the song will sound great. That will be this sound…in
our thing coming up that will be that sound. That’s a minor, but you hear sounds in E.
But as a further refinement, we can add a major on the 1 chord and on the 5 chord, we
can have a happy sound. And the point is remember, tension and resolution, so we can kind of
resolve our tension by doing a major happy sound. Here that is. That’s the happier
sound. If we can have the happy sound and the sad sound or the mean sound together,
we can get kind of a good tension resolution thing. Here we go…I’m just going to play
a little bit, just to make that point. I’ll jump in the song…alright…so I’m playing
the major. It’s going to sound kind of trembly. Waiting for the 1 chord and here it comes
right now. Here’s my major. Minor sound. Major sound. Here’s comes the 4 chord, I
want a minor mean sound.
