Consider striking the fifth and sixth string on the guitar simultaneously creating what we call E and A notes. Is the interval, or distance between those notes a fifth or a fourth?
Answer: Both.... man.... that's right Daddyo, time for you cool cats to realize that just as in quantum mechanics experiments, the observer's intent seems to affect the atomic particles, just like the musician's decision on how he wants to view the sound of the fifth and six strings played together actually changes the reality of that sound in the minds of whoever is mentally viewing it that way. Heavy.....mind control... lol
A logical conclusion for a human is that the sound on the bottom is the dominant basis on which to build. Allow me to mention one of the main orientations one must complete in order to be a well-rounded in control full-fledged musician guitarist. That is the orientation that a higher or lower register does not change the role or value of a note with the exception of register specific orchestral issues. This is an extremely important basic to theory comprehension and it is the beginning of understanding the "magic" of the true expressive musicians power. In other words most of the effect takes place in the mind of the listener.
Pretty heavy stuff actually… Even if you play one interval first and then the other, that does not make either one the root note.…It's all… In your mind. lol
For guitarists who want to excel quickly, the main reorientation is from slavishly being taught to hold down the bass strings and view tone building as going from lower to higher in terms of register, to seeing notes as their value in terms of the key that you are in, or sometimes the key that you are choosing to be in. It is far easier to improve on the guitar exponentially when you see your root or number one on the first string and build up on your guitar AS if YOU WERE SOMEONE ELSE LOOKING ACROSS AT YOUR GUITAR. This is actually how the top 4 strings were designed, going in the direction of low (to the ground) to high as the sound goes down.... it all kind of comes together with easy access and less hand strain to respond to any musical situation using the intended original orientation for those strings on the guitar
That way, when you imagine seeing yourself play in a chair in front of you, even though the sound goes from higher to lower as you build from what visually looks like lower to higher, you can take advantage of the fact that visually you are building from the ground up as the sound goes down in pitch normally creating a dyslexic disorientation from hearing the sounds and directions in opposite to physicality. The goal is to make counterintuitive become intuitive. The method is to free yourself of the shackles of register, unless it is a requirement. Of course this amazing breakthrough understanding requires the ability to interpret tones in a "register free" consciousness as far as applied to your "theorizing". This can be accomplished with the proper help and study. Once you do, and as you hold your hand in a comfortable way that affords you the values of the guitar design, you can find a freedom to quickly interact with most blues, rock, and popular music. Float downstream is the saying......let the guitar itself show you in it's design...
The simplest way to establish a note as a dominant note, or root note, is to play the note first, even though it is not the note of the mood of that segment of the song. It is human nature to think that the first note that we hear is dominant. Another way to establish a note as a 1 or keynote, or root, is to play the dominant note in a lower pitch. These are two simplistic ways to establish something in the minds of your listeners. There are dozens of these methods, and the more the musician is conscious of when and how he is doing these things, the more he has the opportunity to excel exponentially, even in a moment. Again this issue of seeing music in a "register free" zone anytime that it is necessary is paramount to applying music theory to your composing, playing, and listening, so that you can cleverly impose what you want to musically establish in the mind of the listener. It is in the mind of the listener where the real action takes place.....
So this concept of minute particles changing their role in the quantum experiment due to an interaction with an observer, is sort of discovering what seems to be similar to an age old understanding of the nature of music and the mind. So again the fifth and six string is a fourth and simultaneously a fifth.... It all depends on how you look at it. Notes and tones are only particles..... This is the basis of common tone magic which will free anyone who dares to understand them. :-)
