@2008 by Tom Strahle, BMI, Madison Heights Music administered by Songs of Universal, Inc. (BMI)

This is an instrumental song I wrote and recorded in 2008 just to see if I could. Basically I wanted to try to write a melody that used double stops (two notes at a time) in ever expanding intervals, unison, minor 2nd, major 2nd, minor 3rd, etc. both ascending and descending all the while having it make melodic sense. You'll be the judge of this. Then when it came time to solo I wanted to try to use some of the same thinking, solo only using unisons, then minor 2nds, then major 2nds and so on.

The guitar in the picture and in the song is a MIJ 1954 Re-Issue.

    This has a "Hot Legs Vibe..." I was diverted during the discussion of this on todays stream... Cool stuff though.. Is this a study in negative harmony? 🙂
