Times x10

This Blog is dedicated to the use of the interval of a 10th... in this case my transcription of  the main Piano figure from my all-time favorite "Main Title" theme from maestro Ennio Morricone's "The Untouchables"... which utilizes minor 10ths throughout the whole figure.

This interval in major and/or minor denominations is used heavily for low rhythmic type figures and between low sustained strings (i.e., Cellos and Basses) as well as being extremely prevalent in modern slap-funk bass playing.

The wide spacing of this interval is great for implying a chords tonality when using only essentially two notes to do so.
