Maybe he didn't want to get into it about notes and stuff because the lawyer was setting up a trap. Not like he was asking these questions just for the hell of it, they were lead up questions to something else. Pharrell avoided answering questions about notes/structure of blurred lines and simiarities with got to give it up, so he just answered I'm not comfortable.But it's weird. He was quoted as saying he used the pentatonic structure (which I know nothing about), but then when showed some notes he says:
"I'm not comfortable"
That would be like me saying "I wrote this movie, but I wanted to take the 4 act structure and do it in reverse". The someone asks "Tell me what the 4 act structure is?" and my answer is:
"I'm not comfortable"
Plus, wasn't he in band with Chad in school? Or they went to a school for gifted musicians or something. That's where they met, right?
I don't doubt his talents, and he probably is a genius, but you'd think 20+ years in the business, and throwing around shyt like "pentatonic structure" would allow you to identify one note on a piece of paper, no?
