Last weekend I wrote a new song, it’s called I Spy, and it starts off with a “haunting minor” mysterious opening, builds some tension, and then has a cool major-7 bridge section which I really like.

I made a recording of it which you can view in the Youtube video player below or view on Youtube directly by clicking here. At the end of the video I pick up the microphone and give a short musical discussion about the melody and chords.

If you’d like a free MP3 of the recording feel free to download it from here.

Here’s a lick I transcribed off a Keith Jarrett recording:

4,5,#5,Maj7,9,5,4,b3.

It leads very nicely into a minor chord. (I’ll post the music notes when I have time!)
