  1. Thanks Caeven, But I was very impressed by the thought and dedication in your first post. (Mine was an easy afterthought) You are spot on with how intervals can be used. Without going into theory, and hopefully not going OT, I would like to point out a little experiment that can be done with a guitar tuner. 1) Play the note of C. Guitar tuner reads C. 2) Play the notes C with E above it, (interval)and the tuner will read C. Ditto with C and G. 3) Play the notes E and G and the tuner will read C. (as long as both are played at equal volume, keyboards are excellent for this experiment.) Long story short, when we play two notes simultaneously a third note appears, a fundamental or root note, even though we haven't actually played it. Cheers
  2. Caeven makes a good point when he mentions Hendrix as a reference. In Come On (Part 1), Electric Ladyland, it is well worth anyone checking out from bar 37 of the solo (the fourth run through a 12 bar pattern)for an excellent example of using intervals (chord fragments). The chord structure of a 12 bar pattern in E is voiced by the most minimalistic pattern perhaps possible. E7 is voiced by a Gsharp and D played at string 4, fret 6 and string 3, fret 7. A7 is voiced by G and Csharp played at string 4, fret 5 and string 3 fret 6. B7 is voiced by A and Dsharp played at string 4, fret 7 and string 3 fret 8. Minimum movement, but still sounds like a 12 bar blues. This leaves the remaining fingers with the opportunity to play a "solo" on strings 1 and 2, which Jimi appears to do with ease. Cheers
