So get over it. You ain't gonna change the system so get stuck in and figure them out. It's not difficult but it becomes difficult if you keep fighting it. Which you are.
Yeah but the diatonic notes to the vi are aeolian and the diatonic notes to the iii are phrygian. That doesn't mean you have to call the iii phrygian.
Oh lord. Well good then. Thats solved.
The great Cosmic Country band The Western Terrestrials wrote a great song about Roger Miller. (Watch to the end for an added bonus)
The next step will be to learn heads, like 100 of them, over the next year or two. One a week at first, then as you can learn faster add more. Don't rush this, and don't set foolish goals like...

There seems to be broadly speaking two camps when it comes to learning to play the changes: o The chord shapes and licks approach (that no doubt produced many great players). o Maniacal mastery...
Yes, of course, I use the parallel approach most of time. If I'm playing over the Vim7 (for instance) I will normally play 1,2,b3,4,5,b6,b7, where 1,b3,5,b7 are basic chord tones, 9 and 11 could be...
ES-150 DCN: I had one back in the '70's. Yes, it had a narrow neck - probably a 1-9/16" nut - but I don't recall ever actually measuring it. It was sort of like a fat hollow ES-330. That's all I...
Im going to take Christian’s figured bass explanations and formulate it into a question: If figured bass and species counterpoint and voiceleading had been figured out long ago when theorists...
