  • Hi James, I’m a bit confused. Been studying some music theory on my own. Wouldn’t the vii chord, the F#, as a triad, simply be an F# diminished? Thanks for all your great content. ????????

  • Will be interesting to see how useful others find this. I personally think your second pillar is by far the most important. As I may have said before, I was in a band in the late 70's that played covers of chart songs, allof us were play be ear musos. We had to work out chord sequences by ear between us, and many of them did not fit the numbers system. That became incredibly valuable learing, Before I played bass, I played guitar so I knew how majors' minors, augmented, ninths etc sounded as I played them. I think that was a very valuable acquired transferable skill also, to bring over for bass playing.
