I found this amazing site that teaches you music theory (well, not ALL of it ofcourse) using a set of flash apps... its really really good and very easy to understand. Give it a shot if you're interested. You can even download all the material for offline viewing. AND its licensed under a liberal Creative Commons license.
One thing I discovered: the last three notes in the C harmonic minor scale sound like they're really common in Indian classical music.
Fun!

Here is my obligatory comment. I am unfortunately not really that into music.
that's sad.
didn't your ex-boyfriend play guitar?
Yers actually four of my exs played guitar. A couple even wrote songs about me.
I guess I should rephrase. I love music, but Im not a musician. My mom is though, you should hear her sing! She is amazing. But it skipped me. Hopefully, if I ever have children theyll be able to sing.
interesting.
thank you for the link.
Oh Nice! Fun fun fun!
Eerie, someone else mailed me this link!
The discussion on nonharmonic tones is nice. It now makes sense why a flat 9th works with a dominant chord. Think about the standard jazz ii-V-I progression which for C major would be Dm-G7-C. If you flat the 9th (i.e. Ab) on the dominant G7 chord, then it functions as an accented passing tone from the 5th of D (A) to the 5th of C (G). That's cool!
