Hi Everyone,
Today's Target and Pay Per Lesson release is now live.
Whodunit? is a ragtime instrumental I wrote in 2000. It started out as a somewhat bluesy piece and I was trying to write an intermediate level piece that some of my students could play. Mission accomplished as far as the first eight measures, but then the tune took on a life of its own and a jazzy, walking bass section materialized.
So it became an advanced instrumental and a piece I opened many concerts with for a few years. If you take it in small doses, and allow much more time for the walking bass section, you will find yourself with a very fun piece to play and perform.
Enjoy this level 8 lesson!

Thanks, what an awesome tune !
I have Cobble Creek ... should have recognised it !
To Quote Neil At The End of The Video:
So 1, 3, and flat 7 = B7 (ignoring the 5th which isn't essential)
b6 = 13th as an octave extension
Possible Chord Name = B7thb13 ...... but.....
I'm not sure about this because the 9th (C#) and 11th (E) aren't included.
I think when a chord uses the term 13th they are normally in the chord too?
So would it be more correct to call it
Chord Name B7th Add b13
also could be called B7#5 ?
:ohmy:

I came across this Chord Namer application.
It's cool but some of the suggested chord names have me puzzled. :S :ohmy:
B Augmented 7th ( B+7 )
How can that be correct when the 7th scale degree (A#) is flattened = A natural
Isn't that a dimminished scenario ?
A# augmented would be A## ? It can't be B, because B is the root note of B Major scale.
So I'm sticking with B7 Add b13, or, B7#5. ( see earlier post).
Maybe you could explain again why in your opinion one name would be preferred over the other.
Anyone else out there care to chip in their two cents ?

I'm no chord wizard but could it be that the 7th is not being augmented, but that the B chord is being "augmented" (ie the 5th of B is being augmented: F# -> G)? And the 7th (the A) is also being played.

Daryl Wrote:
B7#5 = Augmented 5th , and the flatted 7th (A) makes it Dominant..... I think.
Chord Namer suggests B+7 = B Augmented 7th
I see what you mean B Augmented = B Augmented 5th + 7 (raised 7th )
Sure... gets confusing.
What about B7 Add b13
Add being used because the 9th (C#) and 11th (E) aren't included,
rather than B7thb13 which would include them.
