Is My Music Pretentious?
Eris:
Also, I think what the guy is trying to show in that particular video is that in him moving in one direction everyone could have sung a note that was different (but higher), but even though he didn't specify the next note, the audience all sang the same one. And that no matter where he did it the audiences were able to do that.
supersheep:
Maybe that is a function of group psychology? What happens when you do that test on individuals? What happens when you do that test in a group of, say, Chinese traditional musicians?
I mean I liked the clip and all (well, the Bobby McFerrin one, didn't watch the whole panel), but I dunno if it answers all those questions.
Dliessmgg:
They used the pentatonic major scale (C - D - E - G - A, if this helps you), which is probably the most common scale in the world. AFAIK it exists in every kind of folk music (with small differences in the exact frequency of the notes for the local flavour) and it's the base of many other scales such as western major (add F and B) or blues major (add Eb and Bb).
Yayniall:
There's only one rule you really need to know for music theory.
All songs can be improved by putting a banging donk on it.
