- kjaftaedi 6y agoWhen making comments like this you should note that this is your own speculation or provide a link to support your claims. The linked article only says: > A seven-note sequence which was first used, G-C-F-E-G-C-E, was determined to be too complicated for the announcers to play correctly on a consistent basis. It was first simplified to G-C-F-E, and finally to just G-E-C.
