lobematt Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Hey there, Working my way through SITSOM to try and get my sight reading up to scratch. On 'Uptight' - Stevie Wonder, the key signature is Db (five b's) but there's a few things puzzling me... First off there's only two chords - Db and Cb. I take it Cb is B, but why not just put B? Also the same thing but in the notation, there are Cb's written in, I take it this is for ease of reading but I'd find a B natural much easier to read! Can someone just clarify this for me or tell me I'm wrong?? Ta! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 If you use B, every time you put a B in, you would have to put an accidental in every time the B changed to and from Bb; THAT would be confusing, If every B is Bb and every Cb is B, you don't need to add the accidental everytime. It is actually easier to read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
