    COMPOUND INTERVALS

    Jun 02, 2021 4 minutes

    This current series of lessons has been devoted to employing different interval skips within the Mixolydian mode or scale. So far, we have looked at each interval in sequence, all within an octave (2nds, 3rds, 4ths, 5ths, 6hs, 7ths, octaves). In this lesson, we are going to look at ways of using intervals greater than an octave to create very ear-catching lines and effects.

    Focusing on a particular concept, such as 10ths, will force you to think of the notes of a scale in new ways and provide you with many new and fresh-sounding ideas.

    Diagram 1 shows what each of the intervals that we have studied so far are called when played an octave higher (a 2nd becomes a 9th; a 3rd becomes a 10th etc).
