Actually, that's exactly what I was going for. I came up with the progression for another piece that I'm composing. It's prog rock fusion. Sort of a cross between medieval chant and 80s synth rock with some Hendrixian chord comping during the bridge.

It's a really a great sound. I'll post it when I get a chance.

Not trolling. Just looking for ideas. Is it normal to pick on the new guy around here?

No one has ever come here with such dismal understanding of theory. We think it's a parody rather than an actual question. It's that bad. No other way around it.

TS, your understanding of theory is extremely mangled. Reset and start fresh.

It's clear TS is still trolling us despite him insisiting he isn't. Bbb diminished?

I would much more easily say that you're playing in A Minor and are attempting to resolve upon the viio or use it as a pedal chord.

If it makes you feel better at theory I'll even let you say you're in A Harmonic Minor.



Enharmonic tones technically, but they're useful in showing how the chords are constructed through proper note names.

B(bb) Diminished would be B(bb)-D(bb)-F(bb) for instance.

But once you get into that many double flats you can probably adjust to an easier key to express it.

A Diminished is enharmonic to the B(bb) Diminished, and A-C-Eb would work much easier with only a single accidental required. If you're in Bb Major or G Minor, you don't even need accidentals.

I made a similar piece, except it had a sick bass drop and a 12 minute tuba solo. We should collaborate.

GoldenGuitar

That's what I was trying to insinuate, the point was that TS was trying to over complicate what is actually very simple.

I think you're probably trolling.

But you know, there's a small chance you're not, in which case I'll say two things:

a) try it and see

b) don't compose academically. Compose musically. Think of the sound you want to hear and play it. If it happens to be in the mixotrollian mode, knock yourself out, nobody cares. On the other hand, if you ask if going from scale X to scale Y will sound good, we can't possibly tell you because it's not about the scales, it's about the music. Pick any two scales and there's a way to go from one to the other that sounds good, and a way that sounds bad.

Wow. That sounds great. I'd love to work with you.

Funny that you should mention the tuba. Another piece that I am working on is a Middle Eastern/New Orleans jazz fusion piece for a quintet comprised of Tuba, 8-string guitar, sitar, trombone and contrabassoon. It's sort of like a Dixieland meets Arabia kind of thing. In the piece, I use the Arabian, Mohammedan and Hindu scales. Although, it's mainly a vamp in Fb Mohammedan. It's a really exotic sound. I'm calling it "Ragtime for Ragheads."

Fb....sorry I have to write this out: F flat...with all the useless double flats you have above..it makes sense....you must mean E..

but why try to make the simple almost impossible...Bbb..? why not just simple A...D# why not plain vanilla Eb...

what the hell is this..(key of Gb diminished in a joint modulation with a tertiary modulation to Bbb diminished.) Diminished is not a key its a chord quality...Gb/F# is the same dim chord as Bbb/Adim...there is no joint or tertiary much less a modulation..its the same chord

harmonic minor be dammed...


but...can you do it your way...of course...just don't pass me a copy of this work...I have sight reading standards...
