“Faith” in science and religion

1. Lovely…I hope her song is in the key of “d” for dogma. 😉

   1. From her finger placement, however, it seems she might be playing g-minor. ?

      1. Well, “G” does seem to set the preferred tone for minors — at least, at the movies.

      2. Perhaps a minor g-d?

      3. It’s actually the G major chord, but played on the 5th fret, which would make it an AMajor based chord. A, C#, D, G, B, A.

         1. Took a look at that guitar-chord site. It seems to be missing some very standard chords, such as the 4-string Dsus4 and G7-9. (G9 is there but not its -9 counterpart.)

            1. The chords you mention are common in Bebop, therefore sacriligious.

               To repeat an oldie but truie:
               Difference between a rock musician and a jazz musician:
               – A rock musician knows three chords and plays to thousands of people.
               – A jazz musician knows thousands of chords and plays to three people.

               The first statement’s not really fair: most rock musicians now know many more than three chords.
               The second one stands.

      4. it seems she might be playing g-minor

         Is that an euphemism for a “g-d underminer”?

2. I love the idea of getting a second opinion! However, in medicine, it should mean more than going from a faith healer to a homeopathic practitioner. I see the point of the lyric, though, and it’s an excellent one. No religion ever has encouraged a disenchanted adherent to get a “second opinion!”

   1. They used to encourage that but the second opinion came in the form of a stack of wood around a post in the town square.

3. Pliny the B’s figures are really growing on me. 🙂

4. I have to admit, the lyrics don’t actually make much sense to me. I get the drift, but the syntax or grammar seems off.
