Spoken like a modal jazz guy!



I sat orchestral classical Trumpet sections for years, man.

Quote:

Modal jazzers tend to think of minor as DORIAN minor, hence Am rather than A dim or half-dim seventh! Mac, you'd get a red "incorrect" check mark for that in music theory class (unless it was a jazz school)!



I also took and passed all the classical music theory classes, university level, while still in high school. I know the differences. That was not my point at all. Perhaps I could have worded it better, plus there's that thing about reading words in a forum and not being able to have anything else, like facial expressions, word or syllabic accentuations, the things that impart the rest of communication, that leads people to take things typed on a forum all out of proportion. We've seen that before here and likely will see it again.

This one took my comment as if I was making a personal attack or saying that the person didn't know music theory. Well, if you'v efollowed my writings then by now you likely know that if that is what I wanted to say, that is what I would have said and I would have said it such that there would and could be no doubt as to what I meant. All I was doing was making a single one-phrase lighthearted comment about the situation. Poking a jab at the BiaB machine, as it were.

And here comes the rant, complete with the "Masters in Music Theory" line...

Hey.

I don't care.
