The Secret Guitar Chord of Van Halen, Brian May, Randy Rhoads and Paul Kossoff

Музыка

You can find all jam tracks and TAB, alongside full length guitar courses at At Patreon - / guitarjoolz and www.guitarjoolz.com
A6sus4 chord is unique in the way it encompasses the 12 bar blues (adding a 6th degree to a power chord) and also a suspended 4th chord at the same time (many a rock players time tested go to "flavour" chord). The extra notes create a 6th harmony between them (another blues favourite for lead work). You can think of it as a backwards major 3rd harmony, when using the major 6th.
There is a whole practise piece featured in the lesson and also a look at several rock songs featuring the 6sus4 chords. Including Queen's "One Vision", Free's "Alright Now", Van Halen's "316" and "Drop Dead legs" and Randy Rhoads (Ozzy Osbourne's) "Crazy Train"
Enjoy!

    It's just a D major in second inversion. Whether it's in first, second, or third (in the case of a chord with a seventh) inversion is determined by which note of the chord is used as the bass note. If you play a chord (low to high) A D A D F# or A or A F# D F# A, it's all second inversion because the bass note is the third note of the chord. If you play (low to high) F# A D A D F# or F# D F# A D F#, they're both second inversion. And of course a D major chord with a D in the bass is in first inversion no matter how you voice the chord. And it's a D major no matter what key you're in. The "spelling" or naming of a chord doesn't depend on the key you're in. If you play a C major chord (regardless of inversion) in the key of A major, it's still a C major. It's not a B# sus4 flat6! A D major chord in the key of A major..... is a D major. Remember, you count the sus/add/dim stuff from the root of the chord, not the tonic of the key signature. If the chord was (low to high) A F# A C# E, then yes it's an A (major) add6 OR possibly an F#m7 in second inversion. But that's not because of the key.

    Thanks for taking your time Scott and of course i am fully aware it is an inversion and i have a full course on triads currently available. But as you have said, it is also widely known as A6sus4 in this rock type usage. But great sense of theory and very helpful laid out like that.

    Good video, however to say Rhoads was "heavily" influenced by Van Halen sounds more like a quote from Van Halen. Obviously they were contemporaries in California and Rhoads incorporated some tapping in his music id say Rhoads was much more influenced by the classical music he grew up hearing and players like Schenker, Roth, Leslie West and obviously Mick Ronson. His solos and writing were at a much deeper theoretical music level at 25 than anything VH did his entire career.

    Yes I did some extra research after another comment and I totally agree with you, I spoke in haste on that one.. definitely hear some Schenker and Roth in there, but I am sure he could not have helped take a little influence from Eddie also and maybe vice versa, who knows. Thanks for checking in

    When did this stupidity of flipping the tabs start?? Going back to early 1980's (I still have the old guitar magazines) all tabs were low E on top EXACTLY how the person showing is holding the guitar or the teacher. The low E on top makes perfect sense for 99.99% of all players with the exception of people like Eric Gales who plays left handed and upsidedown. The second this ignorance comes up I give a thumbs down and stop this useless video
