After a year of intensive Music Theory classes every weekday at 9 AM, hopefully I can explain it to you with the extent of my knowledge.
This is how it works fractally.
The piano is an accurate diatonic and chromatic representation of tones, so I will use it as an example in my next sentence. Music is a series of chords being followed by other chords with common tones. If you look at a piano and play a C Major triad for example (CEG), then the next chord sounds better if it either contains both common tones of C major triad C and E (making an A minor triad ACE); and E and G (making an E minor triad EBG), or contains at least 1 common tone - like the F major chord FAC and the G major chord GBD. As a result, there are always 4 possibilities for which chords to move to next from tonic in your key (that is the fractal part).
To elaborate, let me explain how this relates to roman numeral analysis. You use roman numerals to label scale degrees (basically do, re, mi) if you want to stay in key (which is an important part of how chords are supposed to work). The point is to divide the triads into scale degrees using roman numerals (I know its confusing, bear with me). Let my example explain it for you. Firstly, remember that a capital roman numeral means that it is a major triad and that a lower case roman numeral means it's minor. (LOOK AT A PIANO ONLINE FOR THIS PART) In the key of C Major (looking at ONLY white keys) roman numeral I would be the triad CEG, ii would be DFA, iii EBG, IV FAC, V GBD, and so on.
And that's only the tip of the ice berg!

Amongst the lay public of non-mathematicians and non-scientists, trigonometry is known chiefly for its application to measurement problems, yet is also often used in ways that are far more subtle, such as its place in the theory of music; still other uses are more technical, such as in number theory. The mathematical topics of Fourier series and Fourier transforms rely heavily on knowledge of trigonometric functions and find application in a number of areas, including statistics.
Some of the band members are Catholic and this has its effect on the music they play, but the band and therir music are not explicitly religious.
The curved line connecting two or more notes of different pitches is called a slur in music notation. A slur indicates that the notes should be played smoothly and connected without any separation between them. It is different from a tie, which connects two notes of the same pitch to extend their duration. Slurs are commonly used in piano, vocal, and string music to indicate phrasing and articulation.
ZoSo. It really means that you should have went to the Lewisville, TX, International Rock Festival, instead of Woodstock. More music, less crap.
Oh, dude, the strings on a guitar are not line segments; they're just strings. They're usually made of nylon or steel and are tuned to different notes to create music. So, yeah, they're not math problems, just make sure not to accidentally poke yourself with one while tuning!
