If you’ve been working on playing by ear – with or without solfa – you know by now that the tonic gives you most of the information you need to play and/or transcribe a melody without written music.
It tells you the key, the scale, the accidentals, the potential chord progressions and more.
And if you can pick out the subdominant (fa) and the dominant (sol) by ear then you can figure it out even faster.

Though the diversity of music coming from Mexico is astounding, a unifying concept is the interactions present between band members – a synergy that gives the already vibrant music an even bigger punch.
Musical U had the chance to talk to the CNVS’s lead guitarist Isaac about their recent record, the music scene they hail from (and what makes it special), and of course, the driving force behind the group’s striking musical chemistry.
