  • what is the name of the song at 2 min? Thanks.

  • @COOLBIAN57 To answer your question, the Bb major harmonic scale has a perfect fifth of F and a major seventh of A. the note E would be a flattened fifth, the note G# (the third of E major) would be a flattened seventh, and B (the fifth of E major) would be a sharpened root. So, essentially, you are hearing a chromaticism taking place between two keys. Of course, E does not resolve Bb. E simply provides a chromatic shift (sort of a tonal detour) from Bb in route to another key.

  • awesome video

    

  • cool video, badass playing

  • the webcam from a macbook always flips the screen, at least, it does with me, so I am pretty sure that's what happened here.

  • did you ever realise that your video is flip over? :P

  • @OldMusicisGoldMusic I'm still confused as to how this works... this explanation at least led me to some Wikipedia links, but I was wondering if you could elaborate?

  • @COOLBIAN57 Bb major does does not go to the E major chord. Any chord can be resolved to another chord. Is it theoretically correct? Perhaps, perhaps not. If it pertains to the key signature it is correct but what is correct when it comes to music? E major has four sharps and Bb major has two flats. Its just enharmonic.

  • Can anyone explain to me how the Bb Major goes to the E Major theoretically? It makes sense when I hear it, but I'm not sure why. I thought it was a chromatic mediant sounding...
