Thanks Rick! Didn’t make it through the entire thread, I’ll finish it tomorrow. I like the way you’ve explained it and added the charts!

Alright, here’s a bluegrass song,

332156165

And hopefully that is a song that doesn’t share the same tune with a billion other songs. Some notes are above and some are below the tonic.

Mooooo - Posted - 04/13/2018:  08:48:49

cool, a bluegrass song...after we guess the song, we can argue if it is really a bluegrass song or not! 

Mooooo - Posted - 04/13/2018:  15:24:18

I've been messing with these notes putting different note values to each of them, adding rests...it ain't easy...It's probably really obvious but I am missing it...oh well, let me try some more.

What bluegrass song has the complete melody consisting of only 1 3 5 b7 intervals?

Mooooo - Posted - 04/13/2018:  21:06:07

is it the same 1, 3, 5 and b7 for the whole song or do they change relative to chords being played? For instance when they switch from the G chord to the C chord would the notes change from G,B,D and F to C E G and Bb...etc...?

OK...the tune I am thinking of is in the key of 2 flats. The theme starts on the 5 note then jumps up to the 1 then walks chromatically from the 2 to the 3, a short rest then back to the 5, then 1 then walks chromatically from the 2 to the #3 and steps down to the flat 3. It plays around with those same notes for a while...but if you know the tune you will have it already. It's great Jazz. And it is how I will drink my prize from the previous name that tune episode.

Mooooo - Posted - 04/14/2018:  11:48:51

All of the the notes of the chromatic 2-flat scale are used in the introduction.

That's a great guess Chuck, but this tune has no lyrics as far as I know. It is famous as an instrumental and is a 12 bar blues tune.

Edited by - Mooooo on 04/14/2018 18:18:14

Mooooo - Posted - 04/15/2018:  09:03:29

It starts out on Piano and is joined by several other instruments...drums, sax, bass.

chuckv97 - Posted - 04/15/2018:  09:25:18

It’s on the tip o’ my tongue...I keep playing those notes...sounds familiar,, can’t place it (yet)

chuckv97 - Posted - 04/15/2018:  09:28:49

By Jove!...would it be Blue Monk.. , by Thelonius?

You are very hot, almost boiling....re-read the last line in the original clue I gave and it should get you there.

chuckv97 - Posted - 04/15/2018:  10:28:00

All the chromatic notes of the 2 flat scale? That clue?

"And it is how I will drink my prize from the previous name that tune episode"  - this part should tell you what tune it is, but you may have to take a look at my prize to really get it.

Congratulations Puddinfangers, you guessed the correct tune!!!!! I am still using the Genie, so your prize is an open tab at the dive bar of your choice.

enjoy Straight No Chaser

Here's the Sheet music if you want to buy it: Straight No Chaser sheet music

Thanks Mooooo, but I’m gonna politely decline the prize. I’m a minor, Am in theory terms :)

puddinfangers - Posted - 04/15/2018:  13:15:17

Here’s the next song,

165561113213

This might be an easy one.

Mooooo - Posted - 04/16/2018:  10:53:25

This is so easy that I can't even think what it could be. Any hints as to how these melody notes should be played?

puddinfangers - Posted - 04/16/2018:  13:38:50

Hold the second 5, second 1, and the 2 longer than the others.

Mooooo - Posted - 04/16/2018:  15:36:11

I am hearing a lot of different tunes, I will guess Uncloudy Day. If that's not the one you are thinking of don't give it to me, I have a lot more guesses.

puddinfangers - Posted - 04/16/2018:  15:44:05

Nope

puddinfangers - Posted - 04/16/2018:  18:39:19

Both are similiar, but both of those are incorrect. I’m beginning to see that lot’s of songs share a similiar melody... Keep guessing the bluegrassy stuff.

Mooooo - Posted - 04/16/2018:  18:47:10

My next guess is: Mountain Dew

puddinfangers - Posted - 04/16/2018:  18:51:23

Correct! Now if you go find the big hollow tree down the road you can find your prize.

Mooooo - Posted - 04/16/2018:  18:57:06

I am having a hard time coming up with a tune and my 2 hour grace period has ended. So anyone who wants to present a tune for us banjo pickers to guess that will hopefully teach us about theory, please feel free. Lately we have been listing some of the notes to a song or tune, but there are many other ways to describe it, feel free to describe it how you want.

A hit in the 60's that is 12 Bar Blues, Lydian mode with blue notes added.

Mooooo - Posted - 04/17/2018:  08:57:52

I can't recall any Lydian hits from the '60s....I know of a handful of Mixolydian ones...no Lydians though.

mmuussiiccaall - Posted - 04/17/2018:  12:18:56

The Beatles could have heard it on the radio during their first studio recording experience. BTW Mixolydian backup with Lydian melody on top.

So a little research shows that in 1961 The Beatles recorded with Tony Sheridan for the first time in Hamburg (my favorite city named after food). Are we in agreement?
