Rock's DNA - Portrait Of A Guitar Chord Produced by Alan Hall
Broadcast November 17, 2007, Radio 3 (Between The Ears)
Embedded in the riffs to Purple Haze & Foxy Lady there's a guitar
chord that's saturated in the blues, that's jazz-inflected and
inclined to funk but, above all, speaks of rock.
The 'Jimi Chord', a conflicted major-minor chord with a flattened
seventh, unlocks the window into the soul of rock music and much
more besides.
