Like Minor 2nds?

[bottlenecker]

Name one hit song without a single minor 2nd interval.

Here comes the sun?
Oops I did it again?

Crap, you were right. I couldn't name just one.

 

[Rockinvet]

Yes, especially when the b9 on V chord resolves to the 5th of the I chord or when the seventh resolves up to the tonic or when the 4th resolves to the 3rd. Oh wait, or did you mean the harmonic interval? Well they create tension of course.

For those of us who are Theory-impaired, please give us a progression that uses a minor second.

any koRn song.

Okay, so...

"It feels like years since it's MINOR SECOND"

"I think MINOR SECOND it again" okay now I know you're pulling my leg the very first interval of the melody is a minor second!

For those of us who are Theory-impaired, please give us a progression that uses a minor second. Be sure to detail the minor second in terms of specific position ie 024000.

A chromatic scale is all minor seconds:
×××××1
××××5×
×××8××
××12×××
×16××××
20×××××

The major scale has two

"Minor second" does not just mean half step, or semi tone. A minor second is a semi tone, but it doesn't make sense to use that term unless there's a note a half step above the root. Either melodically you've got a scale tone a half step above the root note of the key, or a chord has a note that's a half step above the chord root.

Some hit songs that actually have minor seconds:
Misirlou by Dick Dale
Symphony of Destruction by Megadeth

Neither of my kids are minors anymore, much less both of them. Wait, not what you were asking. Nevermind...

And this forum wants me to pay money for this?

You can pay me directly if that makes things copacetic.

Only as a starting point for a bend or to slide out of.

I'm hearing that right now, in a frequency so high that I thought only dogs could hear it.

THX, do you mean the interval of a minor second? That is, two notes played together that are a half-step apart? I dissonance, as opposed to harmony.

Or do you mean one note after another? Such as willietheweirdo was talking about referencing the chromatic scale?

It's too late for clarity, this is Chinatown!

I was thinking of the two notes played together, like when you play an E flat on the B string and an open high E string together.

The simultaneous minor second interval is certainly relatively rare since in itself it is pretty much as dissonant as you can get. Play a Maj7 chord on a 12-string guitar though and it’s just colour / sparkle…

0-8-7-9-0-0?

Has a minor second and a major second?

Isn't that an Emaj7?
