The pedal tone
What is the pedal tone? It is a harmonic tone, like a passing tone, the ‘appoggiatura’ and so on.
But there is a very important feature that makes it a unique kind of non-harmonic tone. For this reason toady we will focus on pedal tone in depth.
We will learn how this note can change the whole harmonic result of a chord progression, especially if we use it in the bass.
And we will also understand how to use it in the right way, with several examples.
