Essentialy its an EM (an E Minor) not just an octive of 2 E’s, to begin with you essentialy have 2 E’s, 2 C’s, 2 G’s and 2 D’s (to begin with) but the structure changes as it rises and it apears as though they take the octive of say E (so thats 2 E’s) then they take an E Minor and bin 2 notes, leaving the B in place, so essentialy your now holding E.. B.. then another E then your holding C.. G.. C, then G.. D.. G, then A.. D and F sharp (G Flat) during the progression up the keyboard the choards change shape, so you have to work around them (and remember only the D is generaly a real choard) the rest are an octive with a note from a matchign choard for that octive so with that in mind i will just explain the D (becauase that seams teh most varied) D = F sharp, A, D D = D, F sharp. A D = A, D, F sharp note if your going UP the keyboard, a black note is a Sharp, if your travling down the keyboard …
