someone should probably edit the lesson with the change.]]> Guitar Noise Lessons jjg https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-noise-lessons/scales-within-scales/#post-333655 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-noise-lessons/scales-within-scales/#post-333439 Wed, 08 Jul 2009 05:05:55 +0000
A G-A-C-G progression would be I-V/V-IV-I.

But both are a stretch in terms of analysis. The "V/x" notation indicates a secondary dominant chord. Dominant chords are built on the dominant tone of the scale - the fifth degree. If you're temporarily leaving the key, and maintaining a sense of overall tonality by using a secondary dominant, that V/II needs to be followed by a II chord - if it isn't, it's not a "V". There can be other analysis of the progression, but it wouldn't be a secondary dominant.

The progression G-E-C-G would usually be analyzed as I-VI-IV-I. (The progression in key would be I-vi-IV-I; you usually use lower case to indicate minor chord types). You'd only call it V/II if the progression was G-E-Am-C-G.]]> Guitar Noise Lessons NoteBoat https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-noise-lessons/scales-within-scales/#post-333439 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-noise-lessons/scales-within-scales/#post-36563 Wed, 08 Jul 2009 04:18:53 +0000
after reading the article, my understanding was that it would be G, E, C, G.



which is correct?]]> Guitar Noise Lessons jjg https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-noise-lessons/scales-within-scales/#post-36563
