Wives tales ... violin tuning: Hey Jude

[Garret Traylor]

That is why I like this list!  I can learn something new every day.  Kind of
like the blind reaching out to describe the elephant they are touching.  In
all my music training never thought or was never taught to think of pitch
this way.  Thanks! 

Kindest Regards,

Garret

Don't think, just sing the beginning of the Beatles song "Yesterday",
pretending you are McCartney.  Come on, anybody can do that.
"Yesterdaaaay
" stop here.  On daaay, you will be singing an F.  Try it.  If
you are not sure to remember that sound right, try and sing "Hey Juuuude
"
stop here, and knowing both songs are in the same tonality (the tonality
that fits Mc Cartney's voice), think that Juuude is an A and is the third of
the F major chord, so you can check with the F of Yesterday, and blending
both songs will get you even closer.  Believe me, it is impossible to be
more than 2 steps off, it would sound weird.  With a little practice, you
will get even closer, that is if you aren't yet.
