One popular example for each Diatonic Am F: "Crazy On You" Am C: "House of the Rising Sun" A C#m "Lay Lady Lay" A F#m: "Shout" Chromatic A F: "It Won't Be Long" A F#: "Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay" A C: "Stepping Stone" A C#: "Oh Canada" Am F#m: "Light My Fire" Am Fm: "Sleepwalk" (vi-iv) Am Cm:"That Thing You Do" (ii-iv) Am C#m:? Double Chromatic (need some help from film scorers!) A Fm: ? A Cm: ? Am C#: ? Am F#: ?

Please note that Dock of the Bay is A C# (orig. G B) at the beginning (mes. 1-2) not A F#. The move M to M, m3rd lower (G E) occurs, but at mes. 9-10, 11-12 and 15-16, or in the whistled coda. G G G E.

Linguistically literate, precise and clear. A major part of this is his understanding of English is far better than many who have it as a first language here in America. We desperately need to rebuild our public school system to working order. Doing nothing to at least make them as good as they were 30+ years ago, is doing our children the greatest disservice.

@@RustyMadd what you said is the most sad, yet truthful thing. I always find myself telling my friends, and family, and they think I'm just overly concerned... The important things in life we humans should be focusing on in order to advance mankind are no longer given any concern.. For instance; education, technology, health, truth, knowledge, wisdom, ethics, equality, and prosperity for "all" human beings.. This is why...because the resources, capability, and technology have never been more accessible, or so abundant, and possible than ever before... Sadly mankind has decided that the man made imagination created fictional thing we call wealth/money 💰 is more important then all the above mentioned...Now I'm not suggesting one type of government over another or anything like that...It's just that I hope sooner than later we realize, and ensure our children get the learning environment needed to see what is truly fundamental, and important for us to live the best life possible.. That the worth, and investment in our children gives us the best rate of return on ourselves, and our worth comes in the form of wealth through knowledge.. So with little chance of loss, yet abundance of effort; we can ensure the continued existence of mankind on earth.. So that we can spread the joy of music across the universe as we leap from galaxy to galaxy forever leaving melodies, and harmony everywhere we stop!!! :)

May seem really simple to the game or film composer who began life that way but for a metal guitarist this is gold!!! TY

Awesome explanation! I was experimenting with this and it often sounds really good if you try to minimize the movement of the bass note from chord to chord (like for example if you're doing A minor to C# major it sounds really nice if you do the C# major in 2nd inversion so that the bass note is a G#, that way it moves down only a half step)... I'm not a guitar player so not sure how easy that is to do on guitar but it can make these chords sound even more interesting if you play some of them in inversions and use voice leading to minimize note distances
