What I am refering to is when notes are straight forward chordal tones or expected harmony notes they have that "oh ya it was what I am used to hearing", what our ears are used to in western harmony. When tones are outside either diatonic harmony or just slightly off, a sense of dissonance or tension is developed. Now I would have to listen to see if it is just the phase shifting of the leslie effect or the actual notes and accuracy of the bends that created that sense of "tension". Tri-tone bends sound similar, they fit okay but they give you the sense that you have to move on, you don't want to sit on them. Hope that makes some sense.wasteofo2 said:

Al, you mean I did all that?! I'm a total moron when it comes to musical theory or composition, I just play what I hear in my head.
xerxes, I think there is delay on the whole lead part. It's just that if you don't end the notes abruptly, you won't hear it that much. That's a cool technique for using delay. Play smoothly and you don't hear it, play staccato and it kicks in
