- SPARK 40: rock, blues & metal tones
I'm a little confused. are you finding the the pattern starts using the route 3 5. notes within the chord?
You are very welcome, my friend. I have been to Thailand (some years ago) and loved it.
I stayed on the first few frets of the guitar for many years, but i'm very glad I got into more freedom on the fretboard. Glad you liked the video.
Thanks for these quick ideas!
I think jhbphd has some nice feedback as well, but these kind of examples sound like what you might hear in much of the "old time" songs I've heard, somewhat after Dixieland, maybe?
Nice way to crack the surface for me getting into a little chord motion on the higher pitch strings. Gonna run and try it now!
thanks ++++ from Thailand
@jeremyhillaryboobphd Thanks again, friend.
@jeremyhillaryboobphd I'm content with your commentary as helpful and so I'll let the explanation stand. Actually most jazz "chords" work out to be triads which can be viewed as extensions of a triad below, or above. So a C9, dropping the C, is an Em. But you know by now that I approach them more by listening than by labeling.
@rhino321321 Yes, but many chords are just triads. Jazz chords tend to use 7ths and 9ths, etc. to give more complexity than the ordinary triad. Or jazz chords tend to build on the triad. For instance, a C major chord sounds more "jazzy" when the E minor chord is added to it. Even more "jazzy" when the G major chord is added. The three chords blend into a C major7 9. Does that make sense.
aren't these all just triads or at least a manipulation of triads?
@jrsygrl142 You are most welcome.
@wubbs77 You are most welcome. Often some of these little tricks done over and over result in a "flash" of understanding lots more stuff than the tricks themselves entail. That's the fun of all of this. I myself am experiencing this specially while practicing the Chapman Stick, a "new-to-me" instrument I am happily struggling to play.
Love it! Thanks, I have been looking for some new material! Of course I'm 'Eventually' trying to understand WHY all this stuff fits together, but I am really happy to learn a neat trick that just works!
I have not tried that song before, but I will, and then I will let you know what I discover…if I discover something. Thanks for your comment.
@erykl777 You are most welcome.
Good stuff, thank you.
glad to hear that. Cheers for trying these chords!
cheers greats stufff helped heaps
Most welcome!
Thanks for the comments! You're awesome I can't even tell you how much this helps me in putting together some different variations of stuff! Subscribed.
I'll do that right now. Thanks for the encouragement.
wow man thanks a lot….this was exactly what I was trying to learn but I couldn't figure out how to say it in words because I'm self taught. You're gonna launch me to a whole new level! Check out one of my guitar jams if you get a minute
Thanks a lot!!!!!!!
Thanks for your comment. It's good to know that some find a lesson like this useful.
Thanks very much – what a good tutor you are.
Thanks for the encouragement.
Smooth…very cool…
do re mi fa so la ti do, starting anywhere, can be renamed as 1 2 3 4 5 6 7. Then 1 3 5 is a major chord, and the rest can be worked out. Or go to wholenote on line and take some of the free lessons.
very nice bill!
you should do a series of these.
Relative to any chord you choose, the shapes and their relative pitches remain the same, so they do have a minor sound. The first "polychord" is built over a major chord by adding the 7th note. It's like placing the 3rd chord of a do-re-mi scale over the first, if that makes sense. In a jazzy arrangement, such chords work well where the melody is the second, third, fifth, sixth, or seventh note of the scale. That's just about anywhere: your ear will tell you.
