  1. HEY RICK, I love your channel, though it often goes over my head technically like this with the music theory, but ... Can you do a "What Makes This Song Great" on the 1971 Jethro Tull song "My God" from the Aqualung album? 1. There is a brilliant acoustic guitar intro by Ian Anderson. 2. There is a groundbreaking and raucous and as far as I know unique guitar solo by Martin Barre at about the 3:00 mark and then another near the end of the song. 3. And that leads into the use of Plainsong/Gregorian Chant ... in a fucking Rock Song ? 4. The bass is powerful and strong ... hope I am not sounding like Donald Trump on that. 5. The vocal phrasing of the lyrics is really moving. That is an amazing piece of music, not to mention the Progressive aspect of it, and that it has an actual point/message. Hard to find a better or more meaningful song to give a close look at historically, eh? ;-) ( I think I am going to have to watch this video about 10 times so I can begin to understand harmony - not the same as counterpoint, right? )

  2. Why do you call it a ninth? Is a ninth the same as a second ... but I never hear anyone talking about seconds? C-D-E third F-fourth G-fifth A-Sixth B-Seventh C-?Eighth? D-Ninth ????
