UPDATE: I got so excited about Who’s Wit Me that I opened a fresh Logic session and re-created the basics. Then, because she’s teaching me music theory—OK, one lesson so far—Sara quizzed me about it.
- I figured out: it’s in D minor. The bass (shown) goes: 1 3 2 4 (6 5).
- I did with help and reference: use an organ to put chords behind the bass line in D natural minor.
- I was introduced to: (After saying “Some of these [natural minor chords] sound weird to me…”) harmonic minor, melodic minor, and changing the last chord to a dominant 7th.
Yes, this is ultra basic, but as a beginner, it’s awesome. Having composed music electronically since 10th grade without knowing what I was doing or why it sounded good, learning about the structures behind everything is blowing my mind.
