In part 2 of my crystal-clear negative harmony tutorial, I’ll show you how to reflect a piece of music into a negative harmony version that results in a darker and very different version of the original music. You’ll learn what negative harmony really is and how to transform melodies and chords around a specific axis that lies between the minor and major 3rd of a major scale. We’ll take the Menuet in G by Johan Sebastian Bach as example and we transform a theme by Steve Vai into a negative harmony version. You’ll also learn how to transform an II-V-I progression into negative harmony. This is what you need to know first, to understand the hot subject of Negative Harmony that was invented (more of less) by Ernst Levy and popularized by musical genius Jacob Collier.
