In a nutshell. 'Take it up an octave and leave it out.' There's really no such critter as a '14' ever mentioned. Just don't ever recall a pitch within real music that was analyzed or referred to as any kind of '14th.' We can half it to Seven and have a real, super robust monster of a working tone though. There's a ton of coolness on Seven, almost all of which is essential through the styles of our Americana music. |
So why 14? Simply that in by numbers, Fourteen gets us up another octave above our starting pitch. Examine the pitches and their corresponding numbers. Example 1. |

Review and forward. The theory is getting pretty thin up here in this atmosphere Jacmuse ... :) Better save it with a good quote ! |
