Re: SECRET SKILLS OF MUSICIANS!
Android,
just stumbled across a scathing criticism of the Lydian Chromatic Concept.
http://www.jeff-brent.com/Lessons/LCC/L ... ncies.htmlThe author's conclusion says;
There are several reasons that the Lydian Chromatic Concept never became widely thought of as an alternate way to describe music (besides the hard-to-read proprietary language it's written in).
The main reason being, by not having it published by a major publishing house at a reasonable price, the masses have been prevented from gaining access to the book.
But, by keeping the book out of the hands of the general public, he has also kept it out of the hands of critics and experts in the field of the physics of music, most of whom would have certainly pointed out the flaws in both the concept and also the many errors found within the book.
In the case of this article, something so powerfully NOT evident in nature unquestionably couldn't be kept a secret.
The main points he gleaned from studying the LCC
1. It's ok to play a #4
2. I can play a whole bunch of scales (the same scales that I already know) over chords (the same chords that I already know), but I have to learn to call them different names
3. A side effect of the lack of unity makes the level of physical violence more prevalent.
4. The author thinks "The Star Spangled Banner" is Lydian
