Cycle of 4ths

[geoffreyefloyd]

Should be F#m7b5 not F#m7...the whole reason these are called diatonic fourths is that one of the fourths is actually an augmented fourth (F# instead of F since F is not part of the major scale) but when you play F#m7 you are playing a C# (the 5th) instead of C (the b5th) and C# is not part of the G major scale (or the E minor scale for that matter). If you're only considering the roots then fine but having chord tones like C# in there make the progression hardly worthy of the name diatonic :P

@geoffreyefloyd if you look closely, you can see the voicing of F#m7 contains no 5th

[nickkellie]

@geoffreyefloyd so you could say the b5 is implied... but I agree, it should be called f#m7b5 (no b5) technically

Does this remind anyone of the fairy fountain song from zelda?

This is great! I've been wanting to delve deeper into harmony for forever, but I never really knew where to start. Been doing chord scales for forever, and I feel stuck.

Thanks :)
