Anyways, I'll start with my takeaways!
I have to play along and compare, a LOT. The music is way above what I can immediately tell! I'm learning so much from these songs.
Yep, same thing for me. I've got relative pitch hearing, so reference tones are constantly needed. When unsure, I fall back on spectrum analysis (16384 FFT, semitone grid overlay), but that's not 100% solution either.
Yes, many of them sound pleasantly weird! I think I kinda know what you're feeling... A large part of this comes from instrumentation and voice leading choices, not necessarily the chords as a whole.Markjohnsonii wrote: ↑Mon Dec 27, 2021 10:21 pm I am really enjoying Schmigadoon and have a question: Why do many of the songs feel flat or perhaps in a minor chord? Something just feels a bit weird with some of the songs and I’m trying to understand or codify what I’m hearing and why it sounds a bit weird; good, but weird. Even the electronic song played at her friend’s wedding was a bit ‘off’ (albeit intentionally so).
Thanks for replying! Yes many of the songs have some interesting melody/harmony combos… I just heard the Mildred Layton song and she was very flat/monotone and had a really strange pitch to it throughout. I don’t get some of the songs for sure.shawshawraw wrote: ↑Tue Dec 28, 2021 2:54 pmYes, many of them sound pleasantly weird! I think I kinda know what you're feeling...

But as for the matter of chords itself, maybe you're feeling "minor" on a C6 chord, for example?
I think the electronic song "to the left, to the right" has the vocal doubled and detuned!
