Shout out to @ethanhein's blog post on Blues Tonality for helping get our team out of a theory hole we were stuck in about how to think of the tonally ambiguous riff in the verse.

You know how people often use lists of reference songs to help identify intervals by ear? Like, The Simpsons theme for a tritone.
We tried to do it but using ONLY John Williams songs. Perfect 4ths a-plenty. Tritones a little trickier to find.

So glad people have been enjoying our video on minor 9 chords. Thank you for the nice comments!
What's your favorite song that uses a minor 9?

Moody, melancholy, buttery, lush, cool. We made an ode to the minor 9 chord.
Stack your thirds, pull up your chair to a rainy window, grab your sax man, and check it out:

"I like the directness of a lyric to be counteracted by a certain amount of ambiguity... that's real life. We don't have all our thoughts completely mapped out when we go to speak."

Where did the ∆7 chord symbol come from?
Apparently, some think John Coltrane invented it. Others, Charles Mingus. Others hate it and don't care.
What do you think?
We had way too much fun with this: https://t.co/spx93kOckh
