Cross-note F: F-A ♭-C-F-C-F (extremely rare) Alternative: F-C-F-A ♭-C-F (used by Albert Collins; [18] requires light gauges) Cross-note G: D-G-D-G-B ♭-D; Sitar A tuning (listen) Alternative Cross A: E-A-E-A-E-A. «Sitar A» - an alternative low guitar system. Recalls the sound of Indian sitar.
A musical passage notated as flats. The same passage notated as sharps, requiring fewer canceling natural signs. Sets of notes that involve pitch relationships — scales, key signatures, or intervals, [1] for example — can also be referred to as enharmonic (e.g., the keys of C ♯ major and D ♭ major contain identical pitches and are therefore enharmonic).
Since blue notes are alternate inflections, strictly speaking there can be no one blues scale, [8] but the scale most commonly called "the blues scale" comprises the minor pentatonic scale and an additional flat 5th scale degree: C E ♭ F G ♭ G B ♭ C. [9] [10] [11]
Power chords are also referred to as fifth chords, indeterminate chords, or neutral chords [citation needed] (not to be confused with the quarter tone neutral chord, a stacking of two neutral thirds, e.g. C–E –G) since they are inherently neither major nor minor; generally, a power chord refers to a specific doubled-root, three-note voicing ...
As previously stated, a dominant seventh is a four-note chord combining a major chord and a minor seventh. For example, the C7 dominant seventh chord adds B ♭ to the C-major chord (C,E,G). The naive chord (C,E,G,B ♭) spans six frets from fret 3 to fret 8; [50] such seventh chords "contain some pretty serious stretches in the left hand". [47]
The irregularity has a price. Chords cannot be shifted around the fretboard in the standard tuning E–A–D–G–B–E, which requires four chord-shapes for the major chords. There are separate chord-forms for chords having their root note on the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth strings. [44] These are called inversions.
F ♭ is a common enharmonic equivalent of E, but is not regarded as the same note. F ♭ is commonly found after E ♭ in the same measure in pieces where E ♭ is in the key signature , in order to represent a diatonic , rather than a chromatic semitone; writing an E ♭ with a following E ♮ is regarded as a chromatic alteration of one ...
When a musical key or key signature is referred to in a language other than English, that language may use the usual notation used in English (namely the letters A to G, along with translations of the words sharp, flat, major and minor in that language): languages which use the English system include Irish, Welsh, Hindi, Japanese (based on katakana in iroha order), Korean (based on hangul in ...
