@dickravis nothin is impossible for God

[dickravis]

@plasticband let me get this straight - god makes ALL the music and parses it out as a gift to humanity with the exception of a very, very specific metal sub-genre that exists mainly in Norway? what about the bands that only THINK they're black metal, but aren't accepted by the true followers of black metal - is this god's music as well? and what about the fact that space is infinite and god rules the whole place - does he have time to examine specific lyrics from every band in Norway? Hmmmm...

[plasticband]

@dickravis sure the blues music is the devil music if u play it to the world but not for the Jesus,every kinds of music (except black metal)is the gifts from God to the mankind,but human using their talents for the world not for God,if they're playing any kinds of music(except black metal) for the God,the music still can play in the church/gospel/christian music as long it to praise n worship LORD!!!! amen! God bless...:)

@dickravis course not, where from you taked this?

[dizzythejazzman]

@JamKar1 A minor blues scale in any key is 1, flat 3, 4, sharp 4, 5, flat 7, 1. So in F, in which the scale is F, G, A, Bb, C, D, E, F you have F (1), Ab (b3), Bb (4) B (sharp 4), C (5), Eb (b7), F (1). Hope that helps! You can apply that to any scale on the piano.

P.S. Sharp 4 can also be enharmonically expressed as flat 5. That is: sharp 4th (augmented 4th for the theory nuts) is the same as a flat 5th (diminished 5th).

O.K. Tom, a  blues scale is just flatting the 2nd note, 4th note and 7th correct?
