Hi Allan, if you build the melodic minor triads in root position they go Cm Dm Eb+ F G Ao Bo The Eb+ has three inversions like the other triads, it's just that these inversions are also the same...

Emily was great, I think I’ve got most if not all of her recordings. I’ll always kick myself because she once appeared in the UK (at the Bull’s Head at Barnes), and my friend and I decided not to...

I mean it's an obvious jam session tune, so it will be one you'll learn quite early on. Although you would't need to know Hot House was a contract on WITCL to get something out of it, and...

Embraceable You - second chord in progression

After working with Alan Kingstone’s book for some time, I was doing some chord melody stuff and one of the tunes I tackled was Embraceable You. I found lots of applications for the 6th/dim stuff in...

Actually take a look into the book yourself -- I posted a link to a PDF of the long out-of-print English edition. It is a very practical book containing thousands of practical examples for all...

Or we could go and listen to some music instead. I can't remember the last time I looked at a theory book, other than to see if I agreed with it.

Embraceable You - second chord in progression

There's a lot of ways to play V-I. Depends on what I'm hearing. There's a lot of well known tricks be it 'I went to the Guildhall' (Cry me a River in the US), or the thing where you move the IIm7b5...

Emily Remler
