lobematt Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Hey everyone, I'm working on a new lick I've transcribed for my blog ( [url="http://www.mattlawtonbass.blogspot.com"]http://www.mattlawtonbass.blogspot.com[/url] ) And I'm a bit stuck on the theory! It's from this track [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6np1zhRar0[/media] at about 3:40 Just coming into the B section and the chords are Bb-7|Eb7b9|AbMaj7 Here's a link to the notation... http://www.mediafire.com/view/?biew6vnf6bjtbow The parts that are throwing me are - Over the Eb7b9 chord there's all kinds of strange notes getting thrown in, my first thought was altered scale which seems to fit except for the natural 7th. I can't find a scale to fit the whole lot, or is the natural 7th just a juicy chromatic note? Also I've not seen an alt chord in a major ii V I before?? The other part is over the final chord, AbMaj7, the lick is just playing what seems to be Eb- pentatonic?? Anybody who can shed any light on this would be a big help!

Kevin Glasgow Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Hi Lobematt, I think you may have made a mistake with the key. They're are playing it in Db, so the changes for that bit of the bridge would be Ab-7, Db7b9, Gbmaj7. Try analyzing the line with these changes instead, it should make a bit more sense. Hope that helps Cheers, Kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lobematt Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 Surprisingly, with the right chords it all makes a lot more sense! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
