Hi David,

I'm currently working on L.O.A.6 Accompaniment Playing Study 6 Horn Lines & Organ Padding, Section 2 Long Tones/Organ Padding Example 2.1.

I understand that the 2draw 5draw octave is the Root & Flat 7th of the I Chord, likewise the 2blow and 5blow octave is the 3rd of the IV Chord as you mention. You then go on to say that the 1blow and 4blow octave is the flat 7th of the V Chord. Apologies I don't understand that? 1blow 4 blow is a C octave which is surely the root note of the IV Chord. I'm assuming all is relevant to 2nd position, key of G mix.

kind regards

Greg

1+4+ Octave. Flat 7th GOT IT!!!

Ha ha just having a chuckle and another cup of tea on my silly mistake (we do this in the u.k weird right!) Think I've answered my own question. Of course the C is the flat 7th of D major.

 

Cheers Greg
