    when you improvise with the blues scale, do you change the scale according to the chord changes or you do stick to the G blues scale for the entire chord progression ?

    • @thekeyscoach
      @thekeyscoach  Месяц назад +1

      You can do either! Maybe start with the G blues - then start changing the scale for each chord in the sequence.

      I'm actually using a sound from Logic - Funk Clav which I've then tweaked.

  • @ZakiWasik
    @ZakiWasik 2 дня назад

    Did the clav really sound like that on the old Electros? I mean it's super funky, but sounds more like a clav and a wurlitzer layered? Maybe it's just subharmonics from the distortion, but I really don't remember it sounding like that back when I had my Electro 2.

    • @thekeyscoach
      @thekeyscoach  2 дня назад

    • @ZakiWasik
      @ZakiWasik 2 дня назад

      @@thekeyscoach nice! I was sure something was off. I restored 2 Clavinets and 4 Wurlies so far, so my ears are pretty sensitive to these things. The blend does sound really cool, though. After posting I realised that it actually reminds me a lot of the Hohner Clavinet/Pianet Duo sound as well, so you could actually get that type of sound fully analog :)

    Why not call those 7th chords flat 7th chords since the 7th degree is being lowered and not apart of the key? C7 seems like it should use the B note instead of the Bb in the key of C or G

    • @rockallmusic
      @rockallmusic 6 часов назад

      Cmaj7 has the B natural from the major scale and Cmin7 has the Bb from the minor scale. C7 is known as a "dominant seventh" and actually comes from the Mixolydian scale with a major's 3rd and a minor's 7th. Seventh chord notation is a little confusing at first!
      In the key of C there's only one dominant chord (G7 = GBDF), but in funk and blues we go a little crazy with borrowed dominant chords from outside the key! Dominant 7s have a strong counter-clockwise pull around the Circle of Fifths.
