First, look at the key signature: it's G major. Next, notice that the bass is playing fifths outlining Am and Bm. The tonal center is really Am. That makes this a minor vamp built on the second degree of a major scale; in other words, an A Dorian vamp (think of it as A minor with a major 6th degree, F \sharp ). Get comfortable with the bass line first, it's the foundation of the groove. Then add the "anticipated" chords, and play them with a light touch. The right hand fills out the harmony with three-note voicings of minor sevenths, then the idea is extended by moving the whole thing down to D minor (Dm7 to Em7). } } melody = \relative c { \clef bass \key g \major \time 4/4 \set Timing.beamExceptions = #'() \ottava #-1 %\tempo 4 = 105 \repeat unfold 4 { a,4 e' b fis' } c\set Score.repeatCommands = #'(end-repeat) %\bar "|.|" } acordes = \chords { c\repeat unfold 4 { a2:min7 b:min7 } } \score { << \new ChordNames \with { \override BarLine #'bar-extent = #'(-2 . 2) \consists "Bar_engraver" } \set chordChanges = ##t \acordes \melody >> \header { title = ##f piece = "Track 12" } \layout {} \midi {} } %pno rh = \relative c' { %\tempo 2 = 92 \time 4/4 \key g \major \repeat volta 2 { \repeat unfold 4 { 4 r8 ~ q4 r } \repeat unfold 3 { 4 r8 8~ q4 r }} \alternative {{ 4 r8 ~ q4 r } { 1 }} \bar "|.|" } lh = \relative c' { \time 4/4 \key g \major \clef bass \ottava #-1 \repeat volta 2 { \repeat unfold 4 { a,4 e' b fis' } \repeat unfold 3 { d4 a' e b }} \alternative {{ d4 a' e b' } { a1 }} \bar "|." } acordes = \chords { \repeat unfold 4 { a2:min7 b:min7 } \repeat unfold 3 {d2:min7 e:min7 } a:min7 } \score { << \new ChordNames \with { \override BarLine #'bar-extent = #'(-2 . 2) \consists "Bar_engraver" } \set chordChanges = ##t \acordes \new PianoStaff << \set PianoStaff.instrumentName = #"Piano " \new Staff = "rh" \rh \new Staff = "lh" \lh >> >> \header { title = ##f } \layout { } \midi { } } \markup { \bold { \large { Another Dorian Idea }}} \markup { \vspace #3 } \markup { \wordwrap { Here's another vaguely Dorian idea.
