Agreed. > i.e: > > a C7 to a D7 chord using a "single transposition > move" (raising each note of > a half step will sound like that: > > Bb -> C > G -> A > E -> F# > C -> D Those are whole steps. I'm sure you just mistyped it. Half step would be: Bb -> B G -> G# E -> F C -> C# > a "better" ( read: more "sophisticated" way ) to do > this would be: > > Bb -> A > G -> F# > E -> D > C -> C I don't know if you've explained inversions before, but it would probably be enlightening for most here to know that the above is a D7 chord in "third inversion". In other words, a D7 chord is composed of D F# A C. That is the chord in "root" position. You can play the chord using any order of notes, and those different orders are classified by inversion. Therefore: D F# A C = D7, root position F# A C D = D7, first inversion A C D F# = D7, second inversion C D F# A = D7, third inversion (the example above). You can of course play chords in any order you want, and emphasize different notes by doubling them. Hope that was helpful. Others have gone to the trouble of posting this kind of stuff before, so I thought I'd contribute. b ===== Brian J.
