Members geddyentwistle Posted October 5, 2006 Members Posted October 5, 2006 can someone explain something to me? i know a little theory and something here isn't making sense to me let's take "feelin' alright" which i play C7 - F7... if those are the ii and v chords, does that mean the i is B or Bb? when soloing on top of it, i look at it as a c major scale where i drop 7th note... and similarly for "evil ways"... the solo is around Gm7 and C chords... i always considered the key of Gm7, but are you saying that is actually the ii chord?? what am i missing??
Members GrahamM Posted October 5, 2006 Author Members Posted October 5, 2006 No one has to explain theory to gennation, but he has me a little confused also. Feelin' Alright sounds to me like I7 - IV7 not ii - V unless he has something else in mind. Gm7 - C7 is technically in the key of F but a lot of jamsters would just say "play in Gminor"
Members VengefulTikiGod Posted October 6, 2006 Members Posted October 6, 2006 ^The progression, most accurately, would be described as a G Dorian progression--G minor is G Aeolian and that has a flat 6, whereas in this position the 6 is not flatted (it's in the C7 chord as an E natural)
Members geddyentwistle Posted October 6, 2006 Members Posted October 6, 2006 so i'm a "jamster" "evil ways" in in the key to me is Gm... and in jazz talk, it in Fmaj anyone else???
Members gennation Posted October 6, 2006 Members Posted October 6, 2006 Hmm, maybe I'm wrong on that song. I thought it was Cm-F, which I'd play Cm7 and F7 or F9.It's been a long time since I've even heard it but, if they are both Major chords, oops Other wise I would've played C Dorian, or even C Jazz Minor.Thanks for filling me in.
