I know certain words in Italian are used universally in music such as "tempo" or "forte". What about chord names like... E major C suspended 4th aka Csus4 G minor 7 flat 5 aka Gm7b5 F diminished or F augmented etc. Say in Spanish, Portuguese, German, Italian, French or whatever etc. I suspect they remain the same but need to ask as I don't know. I know there's a lot of teachers and students here from different parts of the world (who might also have some non-English material with this stuff in) so thought this would be the best place to ask. I can only think of chord names at the moment but if there's anything I haven't though of I'd be interested to know. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

B for them is our Bb. It's a really old way of notating and there is more than one theory as to why (and too long to go into here). In the 19th cent. musicians would spell Bach with the musical notation* B A C H that translated musically into Bb A C B natural. That's true, also in Scandinavian coutries (such as my country Sweden), the note B is called H (and Bb is called B ). It is changing to the Anglo-Saxian notation, at least in some communities, but the H notation will live on (don't you dare re-naming Bach's H-moll Messe). I'm gonna do a free translation of Cael's Danish terms into English (some of them have more than one corresponding term, but I guess most of them should be apparent). Major Minor Circle of Fifths Third Fifth Root Tritone (\m/) Oh, and Happy 2020, everyone. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
