Music Theory: Chords at Learn Music Free Chords are stacks of notes that sound together at the same time. At the base of all Chords is the Triad (three note chord). Triads are made up of the root, third and fifth tones as derived from the scale in use at the time. Even when we have a Chord with lots of extensions (notes added to the triad), we find there is always a triad at its base that is either Major, Minor or Diminished.

The Weird and Creepy World of String Harmonics – Soundfly I have played stringed instruments for my entire musical career — namely, the electric bass, then the upright bass, closely followed by acoustic and electric guitars. From my upbringing, string harmonics were primarily a way to tune an instrument (the fifth-fret harmonic of a string being the same pitch as the seventh-fret harmonic of the next string higher), and a nice, airy, shimmering timbre in contrast to the dark, warm tone of the bass notes. I didn’t think much of them beyond that. Later I learned about their potential as an expressive device by using the limited natural harmonics available, as made famous by the inimitable Jaco Pastorius. That said, I never immersed myself fully enough to find out how each individual note was performed in some of his works. It wasn’t until much later in my musical career and schooling that I considered the potential for string harmonics as a compositional tool.

Music Analysis Introduction General Introduction Each musical analysis in this chapter is intended as a practical example of how the techniques and theory in this book and website can be used when analysing pieces of tonal and tonally influenced music with the aim of understanding the way each piece is structured and how root progression patterns and other components of the music contribute to the style of its composition. It should also support the evidence for the theory. Whilst I've tried to make these analyses as self contained as possible, it is intended that you should read earlier sections of the book in order to fully understand all the details. Each of the examples included is accompanied by an analytical outline.

Smiths On Guitar: Frankly Mr. Shankly "If we needed some songs fast, then Morrissey would come round to my place and I'd sit there with an acoustic guitar and a cassette recorder. 'There Is A Light That Never Goes Out' was done that way, and so was 'Frankly Mr Shankly'." "Another talking point is the lyric for 'Frankly, Mr Shankly.' At the time Morrissey didn't say anything about it being a dig at Geoff Travis and his bad poetry, but even if he had done, I wouldn't have cared.
