the chocolate strawberry 6th chord

Post by seichu kaisho » Sat Apr 16, 2005 12:34 am

I've heard of the Neapolitan 6th chord, but I didn't know there was such thing as a Neapolitan 2nd. :?:


How many inversions does a dominant 7th chord have?

What is the Phrygian mode?

Yep, you are correct! You get a mold star!

1. In the key of F major, what is the chord labeled as V / vi?

2. Define tonicization.

What is rhythm?

I mean it, please tell me, because I'm a drummer, not a musician.

LOL Jon, you crack me up!

Yeah, I'd like to know how to explain rhythm...it's just one of those things where you know what it is, but can't explain it.

That chord you're looking for is C/D. A dominant seventh can have 3 inversions because there are 4 notes in the chord.
A believe a neopolitan second is a flat II chord. An example would be a Db in the key of C. I could be mixing terms, though.

Rhythm is the phenomenon that takes place when you bang on someone's head really hard.


Actually, V/vi in the key of F major is an A major triad, which is one of the secondary dominants.

D minor is the vi chord in the key of F, and A major is the V chord in the key of D minor. So it's like saying it's the V of vi.

So now you all know where milk comes from.
