I use a lot of faux power chords, and a few of these chords with the third or minor third and a fifth on many songs, it helps fill in for sound with our 3-piece band. For Knockin' on Heaven's Door I play a lot of these chords while the guitar takes a solo (plus I sing it.) I also use a ton of just octave grace notes. I also liked hearing you doing the hammer-on with both the vocal mic and amp recording; when playing them I hear the other half of the string sounding, but of course not get to the pickup and amp. A lot of folks must not capture the other half of the string, but it's quite normal to hear those odd tones when playing.

superbe lesson. Thank you !!

Understanding chord structure made learning the fretboard so much easier. Everything in this world is built from patterns. Know the patterns and you will never find that last note lol.

I would love to get a grate R&B Singer to sing beautifully to some bass chords at the intro of a song. And plus she could sing a small part of a melody while the bass plays it with vibrato just like the singer. Normally you would expect a keyboard player to do that, as well as a guitar player. But to me, I think it would be very special to have a bass player doing that.

What if the music is on a non-diatonic chord and we want to expand beyond the chord tones, is there a method we can use other than trial and error?

​@@doughdog7I understand your situation my friend. Tabs are nice when you're learning but tabs will destroy your long term abilities. The absolute best practice is ear training to hear the notes and play by ear. Remember that the creator of this channel makes these lessons for free so to tell someone who has been playing for decades and gives free lessons is no different than staring a gift horse in the mouth. There are many things I wish would be taught or shown but I know my place also. You have to be able to step out of body in life and enter other people's shoes to have empathy and understand their situation. If I could give you any advice it would be to get your technique rock solid. Get the scales and modes down and learn no music just pure discipline and when you have the technical aspects down you will hear something and play it with ease. I had to undo many years of playing and go back to the beginning all because I didn't focus on technique first time around. Now I am an old man who is fighting arthritis and many other ailments that make what I should already know harder to learn. Now I have technique and look back at how horrible of a bass player I was for many years thinking I was good.

I get so many comments that it’s quite difficult sometimes to know exactly what people are referring to (and to remember the video itself let alone the specific section!). When talking about how to voice a chord, you absolutely can say ‘this is a 10th’. Chords are made up of intervals so they’re integral to the discussion. Adding a 3rd or a 10th into a chord does matter. It’s a subtle difference but an important one. Most professional musicians will describe it this way so it’s not wrong. If you want to describe it a different way that’s absolutely fine by me. Do what works for you! Thanks for the comment, Chad! 👍🙏
