Well, I'm impressed. I always suspected there was more to this business. There are still a few things I wish someone could explain to me:

Why does a 7th chord make you "want" to do the dominant chord for that key next, for example, hearing G7 makes you want to play C? What is it about hearing that F note that tells your brain, C has to come next?

How come the black keys are spaced in that goofy way?

Why do minor keys evoke that heavy, somber mood?

Thanks for any insight!
Steve
