Jack Conte - I Know [Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

I Know
fromĀ VideoSongs Volume 2 (2008) by Jack Conte

This is an awesome track, and I love this outro bit; those two chords and the uneven rhythms in the melody. I hear this as a BMaj6 to A#7/B. I find examples like these useful because I tend to under use inverted chords, and because it’s another great sounding pedal point. Try playing the non-inverted versions of the chords with the same melody (in this case, G#Min7 to A#7), so you can hear how drastic of a difference there is without the pedal point bassline. Be sure to listen to the whole song for better context.

My intention with this blog is to showcase bits of music I like and attempt to explain why in a way that can be understood by anyone with a basic musical background. Let me know if anything confuses and I’ll do my best to make things clearer.
