Yeah that's what kinda threw me. I pretty much thought that, but I've found myself in grey areas a lot since I started doing this shit again.
I actually learned this stuff a little back in my guitar playing days, but that was early high school and that was about ten years ago, so it's been a while. On another, somewhat related tip... I've been doing slower, more "musical" (in the traditional sense) stuff lately. That's what got me started on this whole kick of re-learning how to read music and then the theory stuff. I've been using samples of electric and acoustic bass. I'm trying to program those downward and upward "walky" basslines (similar to the seminal "Flashlight" bassline from P Funk), with mixed results. I don't have a bass anymore, or I would take a stab at playing them. Anyone have any advice on using scales to get that sound? Maybe I should split this into a new thread... > >The C get's flatted just the same as any other diminished chord. >Although the 5th you play is actually B, it would be notated as a Cflat >to make it a proper triad.
