I have read they sing in "parallel thirds", but when I try that out on a guitar, after the first notes, it immediately jumps track and there is nothing parallel about it. Can anyone explain this?
From http://library.thinkquest.org/3343/web-d...ssary.html:
parallelism
When two notes are a certain distance apart and move the same interval at the same time in the same direction. A parallel third, for instance, would be when two notes are a third apart (C and E, for example), and they move, say, a step upward.
