Hi Everyone,

Catch the next Live Lesson every Tuesday at 4PM Pacific time.

In this lesson we discuss a symmetrical scale consisting of R w 2 h 3 w 4 h 5 w 6 h 7 w 8 h R - resulting in two nested fully diminished chords. It creates an eerie tonality with no home.

Then we dive into the whole tone scale, frequently used in dream sequences in movies and TV, and on shoes like the Twilight Zone and plenty of others. It gives you augmented chords to play with.

*Please note: you may need a youtube/gmail account to ask questions in the live stream, but you can watch without one.

Frank Zappa composed a lot of twelve tone music, too. If you're curious, The Perfect Stranger album is a worth a listen. But AFAIK, his most famous twelve tone tune was Jazz From Hell - I think it was awarded a Grammy... Not that Zappa cared about that.

My suspicions that I am weird have been confirmed. I actually enjoyed the music you created.
