Introduction to Pitch Axis

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Hello again, According to my little google box my articles on scottish music and the origin of Prog Rock went down pretty well with ProgArchives, so I'm back with another one!
I'm sure that many of you know that a pitch axis is when you take a single key pitch and build modal chords or sounds around it, and as long as the pitch is in every chord you can create some really great exotic sounds like Satch and Vai, like so http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gSXZRgWzp8. 

Well, I've known about the idea for a while but only recently started using it, so feedback on here is always welcome.
