[N]
[Db] And, you know, a lot of times, [Bb] especially in the blues and the gospel stuff, the tonal
[A] center is set, but, you know, it can [C] be minor, [Ab] it can be major.
It's kind of, [Bb] the beauty [Ab] of it is you can [A] bounce back [Ab] and forth, you know.
[A] The major third [Ab] is implied, or you can [Bb] just hit it [A] directly.
It's funny, you'll be playing with certain musicians and they'll just completely avoid it.
[G] It's minor.
And then other guys [Ab] will just go right to the major third.
Just lean on it.
[Db] So it all [Eb] depends on what you're [A] trying to say or what sentiment you're trying to get
across, you know.
[C] But we'll do some [Eb] linear [A] lines, some gospel [Bb] lines.

[Eb] While we're on that, if you're confronted with a completely
[Ab] [F]
Yeah.
[Db] Just like you did, or do you ever [Gb] do the relative major thing?
[Eb] Yeah, occasionally, [C] but I usually, for the most [Bb] part, I start at home.
[A] Yeah, that's a bit [Gb] off the track, isn't it?
Yeah, but [Db] sometimes that's what you're going for.
Sometimes [Bb] you want to be off [C] the track, but it's, you know, if [Db] you're going straight [Bb] minor,
then you can [A] [Bb] get lines [A]
like
[C] [Eb] [G]
