What a load of rowlocks this thread is!

Does it matter?

Listen to the music, forget the bl**dy theory and remember how many of these records were listened to, sold and enjoyed over the years...

Lighten up, man. It's just a bit of discussion.

And believe me, I'm the last person to get hung up on the theory :-)

Duck thought so. So seemingly did a bunch of other musicians and producers on both studio dates. Plus, it sounds absolutely fine as a note choice within a great groove. I reckon that means it's appropriate.

Absolutely. But it doesn't sound fine as note choice to me, so I thought I'd open it up to see what other people think.

And I think it's continuing to be an interesting discussion.

Is that OK with you?

A major 6 is a very Dorian note to pick over a minor chord. As others have said the G# can come from melodic minor as well. I love making use of different notes to alter the feel of a track!

For me there are no right or wrong note choices, only better and worse choices. Each of us will pick different notes at some point, I say embrace that!
