Members Markf Posted March 16, 2003 Members Posted March 16, 2003 When you modulate, how do you resolve back to your originaltonal center improvisationally?
Members StratKat Posted March 16, 2003 Members Posted March 16, 2003 A simple way ive used is to look at the origianl chord progression and see what takes place when a verse is repeated. Usually there is a turn around (a thing designed chordally to take you back to the beginning of something). I take whatever that turn around was chordwise and experiment with its chords to see which eases the transition the best. Somtimes i just use harmony chords from BOTH keys im working with. If there are related or shared chords in both keys you are wrtinting in sometimes you can HANG on that shared chord and make the transition.
Members Markf Posted March 16, 2003 Author Members Posted March 16, 2003 hey stratkat, thanks for answering, by the way do you have any experience with the Gretsch duojets, are they considered great guitars and good tone and all that? I'm researching these in the event that I mght buy one.
Members StratKat Posted March 16, 2003 Members Posted March 16, 2003 if i recall one of my friends had a duo but he didnt like it. He said it had a nasally tone to it like sort of a rick. But i dunno...

It's easy if you think ahead a bar or two. Shift toward playing over a chord that is dominant to the new tonic, then resolve. Boom-- done. Of course, remember that tritone-substituting the dominant is always kosher, too.
Members Markf Posted March 18, 2003 Author Members Posted March 18, 2003 can you explain this idea of cadences clearly, i mean isn't the V-I a cadence?
