Consonants & Movement: Advanced Music Theory & Songwriting, Part 2
Hey! I am Mark Black and welcome to expertvillage.com and we are going to be talking about advanced theory in song writing. And then lastly the 7th, aah.... now actually looking at that I think I have reversed this and say that the 4 is the most dissonant and the 7 is dissonant, but not as much. The main point is, in this it is approximately right and you might disagree this is, but the basic idea is that when you are singing a melody, these notes will be very strong and normal sounding. These notes will be weaker and unusually weak, because in this case it does not mean bad. We just call it tension resolution. Do I want tension then I am going to hang around here, if I want my song to be unusual, then I am going to do stuff like… I am going to go… that is an unusual sound. Those notes are over in this way, not all of them, they could not all be that way, because then we would not able to identify any with these melody. Anyway, so the point is strong comfortable sounds, weaker or tension sounds and the amount that we put in there means how comfortable or not the melodies). Just to make this real, that means that if I was playing an F chord, that these notes F, A, C, G and D and we will reverse the four, well, I left it like that, that this is a sort of a continuum; these being most comfortable, these being the least comfortable. That is supposed to be a B flat, here we go. Okay so there we are talking about the melody.
