Lets get started Roman!

In your guitar CV you mentioned theory and harmony as your main weakness.
We will today start from very beginning in theory and harmony.

Here is your 1st assignment!

Theory reading :

- I would like you to read my posts from links provided below.
- Once you read it all, memorize 3 and 4 part harmony in C major scale.
- Learn to apply scale degrees rather then numbers ( I in C major is C, IV in C is F etc).
- Write out in this thread all notes for 3 and 4 part harmony in C major scale.


Time limit for 1st assignment would be a week from now! (13th of September).


Here are the links :

Major scale harmony and chord functions

Cadences



I would also like you to answers questions bellow :

1) What is scale? What defines it?
2) How do we create chords in Major scale (for example)? What interval is used to build chords?
3) How many notes does Major scale have?
4) How many modes does Major scale have?
5) Name all the modes in Major scale.
6) Name formula of Major scale using half steps and whole steps.
7) How many types of triads (3 note chords) we have in any major scale? Name them.


This should be enough to get us going!
You can send me answer to those questions via PM as I will give this small test to couple of guys here on MTP. I don't anybody to cheat and copy answers from each other!


Let me know if you have any questions Roman, I will be more than happy to help out!

Hey Pedja,

that seems to be a good starting point, because theory is one of my biggest weakness. I will read the posts and ask you questions if i need help.

cheers

Hey Pedja,

well let's start biggrin.gif

I read all two links and i want to start to answer your first excercise (Not the test it comes per PM).


QUOTE
Write out in this thread all notes for 3 and 4 part harmony in C major scale.


3 part harmony: (i hope this makes sense biggrin.gif)

I: C major : C E G
II: D minor : D F A
III: E minor: E G B
IV: F major: F A C
V: G major: B G D
VI: A minor: A C E
VII: B diminished: B D F
VIII: C major: C E G

4 part harmony:

I: C major7: C E G B
II: D minor7 : D F A C
III: E minor7: E G B D
IV: F major: F A C E
V: G dominant7: B G D A
VI: A minor7: A C E G
VII: B minor7b5: B D F A
VIII: C major7: C E G B

Well i hope this is how you want it and correct. I know now that the 3 part build chord that have 3 notes in it. The steps between the notes are 1 - 3 -5 and on I IV V i can found the Major chords on the other degrees i found the minor chords except on the VII there i find a diminished chord.

At the 4 part i add another step, the 7. Here are on I and IV the major chrods II III VI the minor7. On V a dominant 7 chord and on VII i find the Minor7b5 .

I hope i understood it correctly. I am looking forward to your answer.

cheers Roman

b5 stands for interval of Diminished 5th. That interval is also known as TRITONE or Augmented 4th. I did lesson on it in my interval series. Check out complete interval series on the link HERE

Minor7b5 is basically Minor7th chord with lowered 5th of the chord wink.gif

Roman, we are continuing with more theory assignments for you! Since you already read two links I provided, this shouldn't be too difficult for you.

- Read my theory and harmony posts from links provided bellow.
- Once you have read everything, write out cadences for following tonal centers
1) F Ionian
2) G# Dorian
3) C Phrygian
4) E Lydian
5) A Mixolydian
6) F# Aeolian

Here are the links :

Major scale harmony and chord functions

Hey Pedja,

i have a little question about cadences. Is there always the same (i call it formular) for building chord progressions. For example every Ionian mode have the 2 possibilities I IV V I or II V I?

If yes i think i could answer your assignment soon .

Hey Roman,

You are right! All the cadences from one major scale transmit to all the other keys. You guess it right for Ionian mode, now get working on other modes and post answers in this thread here!

Roman you did good for the first example only. For the rest you have to relate to original key and then based on that figure out how many sharps or flats that key has and write the cadence.

Where does G# Dorian come from? Dorian is what mode in Major scale?
Compare everything to C like I did in that post, it should help you to figure out keys!

Excellent work Roman. In bold you will find example that I will correct now.

C Phrygian is 3rd mode of what major scale ? Go down 2 whole steps and you will find an answer. C is our starting note, down a whole step has to be some sort of B (in this case its Bb!) and from Bb we go down another whole step (it has to be some sort of A) in this case Ab! So our key is Ab major.
If we have Ab major key, we can't have any sharps in that key. Also another trick to know if you did it right or not is to check your note names and never have 2 of the same with different symbols. For example, it is impossible to have in major scale both C and C# smile.gif We would rather have C and Db.
Hope that makes sense, let me know if you have any questions about it.

Imin bIImaj: C minor, Db Major
Imin bVIImin: C minor, Bb minor
Imin bIImaj bVIImin Imin: C minor, Db Major, Bb minor, C minor

Ps: did you had the time to make the GP tab for the intro i send to you? Thanks in adnvance
