the aesthetics of something mattering sometimes more than the function - a cute camera makes me want to use it more, an item of clothing that's more expensive but that I love will have me wearing it more with more joy

how they grew up - what was the culture, what did they eat, how did they hang out with their friends, what school was like for them

what they're curious about right now and what the origins of that curiosity is all the way down (is it rooted in something deep and primordial/ broader consistent pattern throughout life)

IV chord sometimes sounds like iv chord because in the triad form there's only 1 note difference!

ran across the book "Improvise for Real" which seems exactly fitted to what I'm trying to do / my preferred philosophy for how to think about music

also started comping I / IV / V / vi chords while improving, which is massively helping me pick up on them during ear training

interesting looking at the time stamps here - seems like i transitioned into full time fundamentals less than 2 weeks ago, felt like longer! posted about it oct 11, so must've started 1 or 2 days before that

but that's been going well so far - doing a bunch of sight reading which has been fun!

discovered the C7 flat 9 chord - what a lovely sound, especially in the context of Autumn in New York (where i found it)
October 7, 2023 at 10:51 PM
another thing i learnt today is that the minor 6th is actually *also* the 2nd inversion of a dominant 9th chord, so C minor 6th in the context of a II (Cm7)-> V (F7)-> I (Bb maj7) is actually the 2nd inversion of a F7(9) chord (that doesn't have the F / root)
September 24, 2023 at 10:49 PM
woops the above is wrong because a minor 6th is not a minor triad + the 6th of that minor, but a minor triad + the *major* 6th

so minor 6th is the 1st inversion of the 6th's minor flat 5 / half diminished

in the case of e minor 6th, it is 1st inversion of c# half diminished

started to listen to the minor version of the I IV V VI (the I III VI VII) yesterday and picking up a bit of that (rather than pure confusion before)
September 24, 2023 at 5:11 AM
lol i definitely wasn't really getting that much of a hang of it then, i think i'm slowly just beginning to now, especially with the more obvious ones w/o inversion

also getting bit better / quicker at recognising scale tones, but struggling with minor key a bit bc the tonal center is shifted
September 24, 2023 at 5:10 AM
ah and likewise 1st inversion of a major 7th is a minor 6th

c major 7th 1st inversion is e minor 6th
September 17, 2023 at 9:14 PM
minor 7th 1st inversion is the same as the 3rd degree's major 6th chord!

e.g c minor 7th has the same notes as eb major 6
