Music has 3 elements:
- rhythm
- melody
- harmony
In this document we are dealing mainly with _harmony_.

)
- Within one octave there are 12 unique note names. Beyond that the note names just repeat.
- The degrees *III* and *VII* can be either "major" or "minor".
- The degree *V* can be any of "natural" or "augmented" or "diminished".
== Scales
=== Major diatonic // scale
- For the major scale 7 notes are selected from the 12 semitones available in one octave. The 7 unique note names are A B C D E F G (La Si Do Re Mi Fa Sol).
- Note that the piano keyboard is a device that makes that selection stand out visually just for the key of C major.
- Example: in the key of C major the 'root' is C
- The sequence of intervals starting from the root is W W H W W W H, which corresponds to the scale degrees (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7). This is alson known as the "Ionian" mode of the major scale.
- There are 12 different major scales (see chapter #link(<circle_anchor>)["Circle of fifths"])
- The major scale is the reference against which all other scales are defined.
#block( breakable: false, [
The 7 modes of the major scale are (the characteristic notes of each mode are highlighted):

=== Natural Minor // scale
- This is the Aeolian mode of the major scale, and it is used in classical music as the descending melodic minor.
#line(length: 100%)
=== Melodic Minor // scale
- Here we consider only the _ascending_ scale, because the descending is the same as the Aeolian mode of the major scale. @levine // page 56
- No avoid notes
- The two dominant chords are a _triton_ apart

== Chords // theory
- *Modal* harmony
- Chords are built by stacking fourths
- In jazz to improvise a melodic line a suitable technique is the "Triad pairs"
- *Tonal* harmony
- The notes of a chord are derived by selecting notes in thirds, that is, by skipping every second note of the scale.
- The skill of the jazz melody improviser is to follow the rapid chord changes, for example in Jazz Be-Bop.
- *1-octave* harmony
- triads: "root", "third", "fifth"
- 4-notes: "root", "third", "fifth", "seventh"
- *2-octaves* harmony (chord extensions: 9th, 11th, 13th)
*Drop 2* chords are seventh chords that are built by dropping the second highest note of a closed position chord down one octave, making that note the bass note of the chord. Example Cmaj7 is played as Cmaj7/G
#line(length: 100%)
=== Superimposition
Ninth, eleventh, and thirteenth chords are produced by superimposing third intervals above the seventh chord. @coker1964 // p68
Examples:

)
#line(length: 30%)
*Triads*
Example: @fewell // p11
- In the key of F major the triad *G-* {dorian mode} can be extended by playing
- a triad *F* starting from the minor 7th of G.
*Melodic extensions* // Fewell
To find the melodic extension of a #highlight[*minor*] triad, play: // p18
- a minor triad built on the root
- a major triad from the ♭3rd degree
- a minor triad built on the 5th degree
- a major triad from the ♭7th degree
#line(length: 30%)
The same triads can be used to play over the relative #highlight[*major*] chord (example: G- #sym.arrow.l.r.double B♭△) // p23
Examples:
- G-, *B♭*, D-, F
- A-, *C*, E-, G
#line(length: 30%)
Over #highlight[*dominant 7th*] chords, more related chords are found by moving _down_ from the triad in intervals of diatonic thirds. // p38
Example:
- the triad *G-* can be extended by playing
- a triad *E-7(♭5)*, or an inversion of *G-6*
- *C7(9)*
All the melodic extensions of *G-* can be used to play phrases over the *C7* chord.
Charlie Christian: over a dominant 7 chord, play a minor triad starting from the 5th degree of the chord, or a min7(♭5) arpeggio from the 3rd degree.
Example:
- over G7 play a *D-* triad or a *B-7(♭5)* arpeggio. // p39
#line(length: 100%)
=== Guide tones
The most important guide tones are the 3rd and 7th degree of a chord. They serve two roles:
+ making melodic connections in solos
+ creating good _voice leading_ in chord progressions
There are 4 types of guide-tone resolutions: // [1]p82
+ direct: play arpeggios connected by the guide tones resolving at the point where the chord changes.
+ indirect: an extra note is played between the 7th and the 3rd.
+ chromatic: resolution from a half step below.
+ double-chromatic: resolution from below by two notes in chromatic sequence.
==== Voice Leading // [1]p67
- 2-note
- 3-note (add chord tones and tensions)
==== Enclosure
An enclosure is a linear or melodic device in which an object note is approached by both the upper (half step above) and lower (half step below) leading tones. @coker1991 // p50
#line(length: 100%)
=== Triad pairs
- First choose two triads that fit a particular harmony and don't have any notes in common
- To have more movement, choose two adjacecnt triads because they don't have any repeated notes (they create a hexatonic scale). @marbinTriads
- Then create melodic lines by alternating patterns of 3 notes of the first chord, followed by 3 notes from the second chord, using inversions of the chords in any combination.
Possible pairs: @jlv
- Major/minor triad pair
Example: *C△* and *D-*, over *B♭△(#11)*, *G7sus*, and *D-7*
- Augmented/major triad pair
Example: *C+* and *D△*, over *D7(♯11)*, *F♯ø*
- Major/diminished triad pair
Example: *C△* and *D#sym.degree*, over *G7(♭9)sus*, *E7alt*, and *F-(maj7)*
- Major/major triad pair
Example: *C△* and *F♯△*, over *C13(♭9)*, and *G#sym.degree 7*
- Diminished/minor triad pair
Example: *C#sym.degree* and *D♭-*, over *D♭-(maj7)*, and *B♭ø*

== Arpeggio
An _arpeggio_ is a melody using the notes of a chord. It can be played as a sequence of thirds. A third can be either minor (min) or major (MAJ) therefore the possibilities are:
=== Triads (3-notes)
They span 1 octave
- min,min,min,min #sym.arrow.r.double diminished
- min,MAJ,Fourth #sym.arrow.r.double minor
- MAJ,min,Fourth #sym.arrow.r.double major
- MAJ,MAJ,MAJ #sym.arrow.r.double augmented (whole-tone)
=== Seventh (4-notes)
- (1,3,5,7) They span 1 octave
- (3,5,7,9)
=== Extended (7-notes) <arp2oct_theory>
They span 2 octaves.
A _pattern_ is a sequence of steps. Each _step_ is a 3#super[rd].
For each pattern in the following tables:
- there are always 3 MAJ and 4 min steps, they just appear in different order.
- There are at most 2 _consecutive_ M.
- There are 7 steps, but the last one is added to reach the root note again, therefore each pattern has only 6 independent steps, resulting in a theoretical set of 64 patterns (=Q number in the tables). There are only 28 cases that meet these criteria, and they are all listed in the 4 tables below.
- each step can be derived from the other 6 according to the following rule:
- m if the other 6 steps have 3 M
- M if the other 6 steps have 2 M

= Application: Harmonica
Here we consider the 10-hole diatonic harmonica (for example Hohner "Blues Harp" and "Marine Band"), not the chromatic harmonica.
The following diagrams show the scales that can be played on the *same* harmonica, without overblows and overdraws. By also using minimal overblows and overdraws the usefulness of each position can be further expanded.
Blues is typically played by a _cross_ harp with lots of overdraws and overblows, for example a harmonica labelled "C" can be used to play a blues in the key of *G* (chords G7, C7, D7).
For a very skilled player who can play all the overblows and overdraws the instrument becomes fully chromatic (any position could play any mode)
*Legend*:
- the blue line shows the path the mouth should follow to play a diatonic scale without missing any note of that scale. Note the reversal of the blow/draw pattern between hole 6 and 7.
#figure( image("img/harp-legend.png", width: 100%))
The *same* harmonica can be used in any one of 12 "positions"
#pagebreak()
== Useful positions: 12, 1..6
- they correspond to the familiar 7 modes of the major scale
#figure( image("img/harp1.png", width: 100%))
#pagebreak()

= Application: Cello
This section also applies to tenor guitars and modified tenor ukuleles. These are 4-string instruments tuned in fifths: CGDA.
In general, the left hand can be used in either of the following two "grips"
- *minor* grip, narrow, spanning a minor third, 3 semitones, using fingers (1,2,4) or (1,3,4) depending on the key/position/string
- *major* grip, extended, spanning a major third, 4 semitones, using fingers (1,2,4) with a stretch of the distance between finger 1 and 2 to be the same as between finger 2 and 4. Finger 3 is not used.
== Left hand positions on the fingerboard
Usually beginners put 4 sticky tape markers on the fretboard corresponding to the blue lines in the following diagram.

== Major scale pattern on fingerboard
It is useful to look at the following diagram through a carboard cutout that lets only 4 strings at a time to be viewed, positioned according to the key.

*Legend:*
- A slanted line represents two notes played on two adjacent strings
- A vertical line represents two notes played on the same strings

- The last pattern on the right illustrates what you would get if you continued the diagram: the Lydian mode would be used again, but the root and all the notes would be one semitone lower compared to the Lydian mode on the left.
- all the patterns span 4 strings, and they have the same initial and final notes. The root being the same, means that each mode belongs to a different key. See @modes_vs_keys
- the first 3 patterns on the left are "major" because the green line starts by going up
- the next 3 patterns are "minor" because the green line starts by going down
- the last patterns (Locrian) is "diminished" because the green line starts by going down twice.

== Chords
=== CAGED system
CAGED is a way of visualizing triadic harmony on the entire fretboard as you play songs. @marbinCaged
It's all about having _areas_ to see the fretboard harmonically
There are 5 major (and 5 minor) open chord forms.
- *Major CAGED*
