: A chrome is in c correct? If you are playing it with chords a la George Smith you are playing in Dm,right?
: Then what should the band be in? D? A ? C ?
: Help before open mic night!
Greetings,
Plaing a chromatic in "2nd position" employs the Dorian scale. This is a scale mode very close to the blues scale... it's got some minor tone and some major.. Your band should be playing blues in D
If you use A as your tonic note (the band playing in A) then you'd be playing in A minor (pure minor)
