Improve Your Chord Vocabulary

Музыка

In this lesson, we'll go over all of the most commonly used moveable chord shapes with roots on the E, A & D strings, including extended chords (major 7, minor 7, Dominant 7ths etc). I've also included a nice short practice-along section you can use daily to really consolidate the new chord voicings learnt in the lesson.

    My advice? For extended chords, learn the 3rd and 7th first. For dominant, that's a tritone. For maj7 and min7, it's a perfect fifth. Then it's easy to build any chord you want around those intervals. I played in a big band once, and the charts were impossible. So all I did was play TWO NOTE chords with these intervals. I mean, we had tons of horns, a pianist, and a bassist. I didn't need to do anything else!

    "two note chords" are actually intervals

    ​@andrejz8954 They're trusting in the other instruments to imply the notes? This is great advice for anyone wanting to be part of a song. Highlighting the color of a chord.

    ⁠@@andrejz8954 it’s actually implied, even in solo piano repertoire when only two notes are present. What andyg1245 said is also true in a band/ensemble setting.

    Nice lesson, but a bit of correction is in order, and no worries, you're not the first one to make this mistake. Your first three chord runs were simple major and minor triad chords even the barred ones, then you threw in a m7b5 chord at the end. That mixed triads with a four note chord and was not needed. There is a triad diminished chord you could have played instead, to be consistent. Save the m7b5 chord for when you are playing all 7th chords in a chord-scale up the neck. Of course, in a song you can mix them all up, but keep triadic chords and 7th chords separate when teaching them to avoid confusing beginners.

    Hi Phil, I did explain in the lesson why I was using m7b5 throughout instead of the dim triad, as it's the voicing people are more likely to encounter in the real world. Hope this makes sense.
