@11jupitercowboy8 Extra clarification: When he says 'I keep changing the key' he means he keeps changing the scale or chord. It's really just what classical musicians would call a 'pedal point'. Also, it's important to make sure that you really are hearing that E as the 1 before attempting to work on that kind of thing. He could've set it up with a cadence first to really make it clear.

I think people still don't totally get this. Especially at the end he says 'I keep changing the key'. He in fact doesn't change the key at all. 'E' remains the tonal center the whole time. ALL of the notes he's playing are heard as scale degrees in relationship to the key of E. There are 12 notes. Learn how each of them sounds in relationship to a key center and you've got it.

my bad. it turns out pitch axis was introduced to satch by a his music teacher in high school (bill wescott). it's been around since the beginning of the 20th century according to satch. once again, wikipedia fucks me over. somebody should fix that shit. still, i don't recall any other musician with such an advanced knowledge and use of pitch axis. there is the half-assed pitch axis, and then there is satch lol. kind of like comparing lane's stretches to... anybody.
GOT A LAP DANCE AT THE STRIP CLUB AND I SHOWED HER ALL ABOUT PITCH AXIS!!
