I forget

[Evan Mahoney]

Do we avoid Tri-tones?

[Doug Hoople]

No.

[Mike Bunting]

No

[Jim Broyles]

No, tritones as well as two tones can be very pretty , especially if the colors blend well. I have some tritone picks - red, white and blue! http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif

(An interval of three whole steps)

[Pete Martin]

Heck no, use them as needed.

I feel like this question is like a painter asking, "Should I avoid using purple paint?"

[allenhopkins]

Hey, I have all their albums.

[Ted Eschliman]

Yes. (http://www.reddit.com/info/53ma/comments) For awhile...
But then the Middle Ages came to an end, and nobody was happier than Thelonius Monk.

[Ken Olmstead]

Killed for using a tritone? Now those were hard times!!! http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[Ted Eschliman]

Gregorian Monk (no relation to Thelonius), "Ut est non haud secui of nusquam."
(Latin: That ain't no part of nothing...)

[Evan Mahoney]

Thanks, Dudes.

Can I add one more bit of info?

[Doug Hoople]

Go for it.

[Geoff B]

Like all notes/intervals I'd avoid it unless it sounds right.:)

[Ken Olmstead]

Don't forget it, just "substitute" it! http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif
