Andrew Fabian, an X-ray astronomer at Cambridge University in England and the leader of the team that discovered the note. The notes have a period of oscillation of 10 million years, which makes them ''the lowest note in the universe.'' So said Dr. Or so scientists told us a few months ago when they announced that the Perseus galaxy cluster, 250 million light years from our little planet, was emitting that note, or a series of those notes, which ''appear as pressure waves roiling and spreading as a result of outbursts from a supermassive black hole,'' in the words of Dennis Overbye, a science reporter for The New York Times. There is such a music, and it's the note of B flat. Once you spent some time practicing fingering the chord in this way you want to go on to using it in a chord changing exercise.Who knew? All those philosophers and scientists and theoreticians and composers who believed in the ancient notion of a Music of the Spheres were onto something. This will make more sense when you watch the video for this lesson.

I find it easiest to get a good sound on the first string when I roll my finger a little bit to the side of my as opposed to pressing directly on the pad. The first finger is likely to angle slightly on the first fret. This makes it easiest to get a good clean sound. Try to get your fingers as close to the frets as possible while not getting them on top of the frets. Now place the fingers on the frets again and repeat striking each of the notes one at a time and make small adjustments.

After about a minute take your fingers off and shake your hand. Most people don't get it perfect at first. Adjust your fingers to improve the sound if appropriate. Strike each string one at a time and make sure it’s sounding clearly. Take your fingers off the frets and replace them directly without making the A major chord first.
