Also the whole middle section of Frank Gambale - Felicidad when he goes away from 2-5-1 he really makes the song very odd.. I guess my question is this: Can you just play whatever chord you want, once you're out of key? As long as it's rhytmically good?

2020-12-22 01:03:19 +0000 UTCThanks for your stream! I think you misunderstood my question about Tom Misch, as I wasn't focusing towards the solo when I asked the question, but the progressions itself.. Sometimes I wonder if he's in aeolian or in dorian and so on. When he starts to go out of key I'm starting to wonder what the key was to begin with, if you know what I mean. Kind of hard to explain.. But when I hear such songs (I listen a lot to Tom) I think: "huh, this sounds cool, but what key is he in?". He has a few of those in "South Of The River" also, a very good composed song.. So I'm more interested in knowing his progressions more than the soloing itself

2020-12-22 01:00:54 +0000 UTCOkay, this may be both too nerdy and too late for today. But at some point, I'd love to hear your recommended references to any sort of truly objective music theory. By that, I mean a study of what is behind common melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic functions. For example, compare V7 to I vs. Vmaj7 to I. The tension difference between the 4th scale degree resolving down a half step to the 3rd scale degree is very different than the #4'th degree (is that how you say that?) resolving up a half step to the 5th scale degree. What I've learned from common practice, and most other studies on the subject, is dubious due to its intertwined nature with our culture. Sooo... Are there good references for the "pure" objective theory behind the various culturally-tainted subjective theories? I imagine this exists in the spaces of basic audio theory (what is sound and how do we perceive its transitions) and conventional music theory studies.
