Hey, you take take back! Some of my best friends are Berklee graduates! I'll use the Berklee terms if I know what they are because that's lingua franca. I will even say mixolydian scale lol. It's...

Well I’m sorry if that wasn’t clear. To me three notes means three pitches. When I write or play music and am thinking harmonically it never matters what octave the notes or pitches are, except for...

What do you call power chords with chord symbols?
