Do all the points made about F7#9 apply to Ab7#9? Would those posters
please repeat their points but in a different key?

Yes, just move everything that you liked on F7#9 up a minor third (or 3 half
steps)... if even that seems too daunting for you then you can do it
visually ("If this is F7#9 and the scale is right here then when I move up
here the scale will be right there") or aurally (play the pattern first with
the F7#9 and then play Ab7#9 and try to hear the equivalent pattern). Good
Luck....Charlie

Someone should write a "thread transposer" for situations like this.

If you've read some of my other dimwitted comments and questions, it
isn't really surprising that you thought I actually needed to be told to
move all the ideas up a minor third. I blame myself. Luckily, I can
accept guilt with a light heart. But then, that makes me a psychopath...

Know thyself? If I knew myself I would run away.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe


My take is "If you think it's hard being around me, you should try
being inside me."

That chord can only be played with two-handed tapping. You might want
to ask on the Van Halen newsgroup.

Not if you wish to make a perfect cadence into Bbmaj7. Ab7#9 can make
a "back-door" cadence into Bbmaj7, but considerably weaker. The motif
of the points made in the initial thread spiraled itself into
*function*. Function is also spoken here. You might play and *listen*
to F7#9 as a b5 sub (via the cycle of 2) cadencing into E-7 and play
and listen to Ab7#9 also cadencing into E-7. The latter can work
nearly as close as the former and certainly in conjunction (two beats
each into the E-7 or dig: Eb-7 to Ab7#9 to F7#9 into E-7 and this can
be another good modulation device into the key of C from various keys
that can house Ab7#9 comfortably. E-7 begs to find it's way home.). E
is a "harmonic root" of Ab (G#) and so, Ab may be tempted to resolve
that way. Play the note Ab and sing E below it. Ernie Eisley may
suddenly jump out of your closet and walk backwards (Thinking of Twist
and Shout here, of course and stretching humor).

Ernie was only ten years old when Twist and Shout came out. That was
pre-Hendrix even.

Isley Brothers. Ernie is the younger brother that plays guitar in the
Hendrix style, but he didn't join the band until the late 60s or so.
They recorded a lot of good pop singles.

*I know*. And thanks for the spelling correction. Ernie and I once did
a clinic together for the National Recording Arts and Science in
Atlanta (2002) for Steve Vai concerning various guitar styles. I chose
Ernie's name for my "humoresque" remark is all, knowing that Isley
Bros had the original hit, Twist and Shout, and making the analogy
with the root, third, fifth and seventh routine is all. Not knowing
the older brother's name, I chose Ernie. Ain't that wild? I like
Ernie, by the way, good guy and good player in his bag.

Then again unlike Sean you might not have completely discovered the true

Nope.
They're totally different.
One's an F7#9 chord and the other's an Ab7#9 chord.
Totally different points, and tips as well. Wings too.
If you can ever understand this, you'll be well on your way towards
being the next leader of the jazz community.
Louis, Bird, Miles & Trane, Wynton (ouch)... Sean.
As a teacher - with no accreditation - I can guarantee it.

You guys are a bunch of sharks. Try to envision a party with top
celebrities at the home of Lawrence Fishburn. Sting, Ray, Marlin, with
Starr there, humming the words to "Kelp! I need somebody", (later of
course he sang Octupus' Garden a cappella), and in the background you
can here Bernie's Tuna followed by Blue Monkfish. Oh yes, Cod Stewart
was also there having his stomach re-pumped. Prawn Connery was there
talking the words to What's It All About Algae, and yet of course many
of the guests merely ended up on squid row. OK, I'd better not push
mollusk.

Yes, I have been waiting with baited breath, as you can probably tell
I had smoked a lot of seaweed in my day. Sould we get Dean Martin to
call amore' ? Or do you prefer Paul Anka straining to sing "And They
Called It Guppy Love?" This whole scene here is quite a fluke.

Carp diem!

Yes, but Fluke Ellington would have a better overall picture.

Fluke is a fish too. We catch on Long Island Sound. Tastes like
flounder. So, don't be a Mobey Dick.

That is what I love about this newsgroup; the really useful things you
learn; I stand corrected and concede the point (and this will have a
load of people scanning for the fishy pun so I better save you the
time and state that there are none that I am aware of so far but I am
tired so you never know).

C'mon Charlie, let's keep it clean! Save the bluefish material for
the late show, where the language gets a little roughy.

Your post sounds fishy to me. It must of had a boat tied to it. I
didn't mean to barge in on you.

Getting back to that celebrity party, I forgot to mention that Robert
Crayfish was performing the blues, Yoko *Ono* was running the sushi
bar, several of the Miami Dolphins (fish league variety) were there
betting on seahorses, John Mackerel was acting holier than thou (he
plays guitar by the way); lots of groupers were standing outside the
doorway. Oh, I also forgot to mention that the "King" was there,
although a bit crabby as he just flew in on the redeye from Alaska.
Yes, and what party would be a party without the token tilapia dancer?
Kids were spotted in the kitchen making peanut butter and jelly-fish
sandwiches, of course, and McLaughlin was there trying to pawn off his
scalloped fretted gator. By the way, several of the hookers were
already konched out. And naturally it was soon discovered that the
"shrimp were on the shrimp-boats and the crabs were on the Captain's
dinghy". Some bad fish were trying to steal, but quite soon realized
that all that glitters is not goldfish. I met a fish called Wanda and
we decided to talk about the original Ocean's Eleven. Mahi-Mahi it was
quite a bash!

Hey Joey, speaking of fishhooks, I believe I may be "off the hook"
concerning the definition of "tetrachord." I had been using it in
recent years as any consequetive four note scale fragment and ignoring
the perfect fourth rule, because in the back of my mind I had read
that such a rule had been relaxed. I have come to discover that the
rule has been relaxed. One place I had seen this in print of late is
Wikapedia:

"Traditionally, a tetrachord is a series of four tones filling in the
interval of a perfect fourth, a 4:3 frequency proportion. In modern
usage a tetrachord is any four-note segment of a scale or tone row.
The term tetrachord derives from ancient Greek music theory. It
literally means four strings, originally in reference to harp-like
instruments such as the lyra or the kithara, with the implicit
understanding that the four strings must be contiguous. Ancient Greek
music theory distinguishes three genera of tetrachords."

So perhaps I am now officially "off the hook."

As you know, a similiar language shift had occurred with the meaning
of pentatonic.
