Next Level Blues Chords! (boost your 12-bar rhythm guitar playing)
Музыка
Take your 12-bar blues guitar form to the next level by changing up the chords you play. These chords extensions will add greater variation to your rhythm playing, and a touch of jazz. Also, these chords are essential to get to know as they do appear in lots of famous songs, such as T-Bone Walker's and The Allman Brothers "Stormy Monday."
Combine the chords with some minor pentatonic soloing and you have a great sequence you can use when playing with jam tracks, with a band, or just on your own.
Guitar lessons from Vancouver teacher Blue Morris shows you how to play these chords and apply them to the 12-bar blues form.

Great lesson. So is that A9 shape also a G6/9 chord?
@GuitarLessonsVancouver
Жыл бұрын
Interesting... G6/9 would be G B D E A and this A9 shape is A G B E ... I think you could say that, though with A on the bottom.
Thanks, this is cool. I did a little exploring and compared the notes in each of the scales of A, D and E. What I noticed was that the notes that are common between them are: A, B, C#, E, and F#. which is the major pentatonic scale. So, wouldn't it be better to play the A major pentatonic scale over this chord progression rather than the A minor scale?
@GuitarLessonsVancouver
Жыл бұрын
The blues form is a curios one, and maybe that's what makes it so fun. You are right, major pentatonic is the natural scale for these chords, but somehow minor pentatonic also works, the dissonance giving us the blues-y sound. So you can do both. I have a video coming soon on that 😀

Hmm not sure what you mean shape wise, of course that's hard to describe in text. There are some shapes that can be ambiguous on the guitar, and of course many that are similar but different.
Best thing about 9chords is it looks like you're giving someone the finger.
