Cycle patterns consist of three or more chords whose roots move counter-clockwise through the cycle of 5ths (Figure 1). Any cycle pattern can be implied by simply voicing the root (letter name) of any major, minor, or dominant 7th chord in the cycle sequence as the lowest note in the chord formation. This process invariably produces a very...

@PhilipPorter Actually music is based on mathematics but the experience is based on the way it effects you emotionally. The mathematical component can open your mind to new areas of discovery but one must practice those areas until they become so ingrained in your psyche that they become instinct. Doing this will open yourself to new levels of creativity.

@tbcass UNless you live in Madrid ¡, Spain, it's gonna be rather complicated ;) Cheers

@superagnitio Thank you. I just based my post based on my own experiences in 38 years of playing. It's the way it worked for me. If you lived near me I would take you up on that beer. :-)

@tbcass One of the best comments I've ever seen related to music. I'd buy you a beer mate, cheers!

@tbcass I would day music is 'based on' the way it affects you emotionally, but it can be described mathematically, and that can open your mind to new areas...

See "Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid" a book by Douglas Hofstadter for a great description of the interrelatedness of math and music.

How do I get the beginning to end of your video's

@tbcass Yea, Mozart was fascinated by the mathematical aspect of music. He even used billiard balls to inject randomness to his compositions.

AThe last thing I'm going to say: a good practice should include the theory stuff, physical stuff (getting your hands to actually do this stuff) and the emotional/spiritual side, which to me is just playing and having a blast doing it. Three different paths all leading to the same road, but neglecting one at the expense of the other three and your playing suffers as a result. Again, thanks for posting.

Great stuff. Of course this is theory, the technical stuff behind the music making. Practice at understanding and it only deepens your understanding. Then when you play, forget it but you'd be surprised by what comes about. In my opinion kind of necessary to move your playing to a higher level, particularly when you are talking about jazz. It's the breakdown  - nobody thinks this way consciously when playing, it just flows because it's practiced until it becomes part of your playing.
