please let me know what u think...

well.....I...

...I don't know what to think about that

good of you to notice that ascending line of notes....

here'd be a way to keep that line of notes going up...

starts sounding like some song by the band Queen to me...

C/E as x7555x 2 beats

then E aug as x7655x 2 beats

then the Amin/E as x7755x 2 beats

but then keep the ascending line going up on the 4th string to the Bb (same note as A#) by playing a C7

as

8 10 8 9 10 10 2 beats....


the C7 wants to move up by a perfect fourth...

so then move up to F as

x 8 10 10 10 8 4 beats

followed by Fmin as


x 8 10 10 9 8 for 4 beats

and then back to C


or maybe for the last F to Fmin

do this instead

F as

x8756x

Fmin6 as

x8676x or maybe x86768

followed by the C at

8 10 10 9 8 8

or whatever....

freestyle,

if you wanna play it in that key, it's no problem. it is the same chord progression, just in Am rather than Dm.

if i wanna sing along, i need to play it in Dm.

Favorite cord projection is the G - F/G - F - D (? I'll hang my head and admit I'm still working thru mapletree's material, not sure on those) sequence that opens the Stone Temple Pilot's song, Plush. That sounds so great played accoustically, and there are some interesting variations throughout the song.

This is has real soulful feel to it. I like to play this at around 80-90 bpm. It gives the lead player a lot of time to play solos and do those Carlos Santana bends.

Thanks Ninjato !! I really like this progression and have been having some fun with it in the evenings when the house is quiet !

Regards,

just another twist on the minor blues 'thang'....(I'm recalling this one from a blues-jam-a-long book/cd I had long ago....its name is escaping me now....has a kind of corny romance-novel-looking cover...it is a very good book, no real instruction, but good and varied blues progressions to jam with, very good examples of soloing...and good examples of rhythm playing with little partial chords...)


experiment with here and there anticipating (playing some of the chords either a half-beat or whole beat earlier than written)...adds 'hop' but makes things look unnecessarily (sp?) messy when written...


Gmin7/// - Gmin7/// - Gmin7/// - Gmin7/ Db13/

Cmin7/// - Eb13/// - Gmin7/// - Gmin7///

Am7b5/// - D7b9///- Gmin7/// - D7#5#9///

instead of the Am7b5 to D7b9,

maybe stick in Eb7/// to D7///




michaelmag...I see what you wrote....

do you know it's just a teensy-weensy bit of an open-ended question?


con't...

Question

michaelmag...

do you know (understand) that in the key of F,

Fmaj is I

Bbmaj is IV

Cmaj is V (C7 is V7)

and Dmin in the relative minor of F?

any of that stuff...?

those chords 'go together'...

just like you're probably used to seeing (C-ing! ha it's a joke...lame, Daddy, lame...)....just like you're probably used to seeing songs in the key of C where

Cmaj (I), Fmaj (IV), Gmaj (V), and Amin 'go together'....

yes, no...?

anyways...try to run F, Bb, C, and Dmin together in different ways...see what you come up with....try chugging them together as power chords, too

and try to throw in little moves around triad shapes...

let's say you're doing plain ol'

F chord 2 beats

C chord 2 beats

Dmin chord 4 beats...

instead of playing a plain old F chord you could 'play out of' these triad inversion shapes...

x 12 10 10 x x

or

xxx211 (same as x x x 14 13 13)

or

xx756

take that last shape

let all notes ring...

finger the entire triad shape and play this simple 'fill' lick (I can only write out something simple....you could make the following lick as Hendrix-y as you want with slides, hammer-on's, pull-off's, grace notes, re-ordering of notes, and funkier rhythm....do something simple first...)

play

xx7xxx on beat 1

let ring and

play

xxx56x on the & of 1

play

xxx76x on beat 2

xxx56x on the & of 2

and now do the same thing out of a C triad instead of playing the C chord...

here's a C triad...(with it's 3rd in the bass)

x755xx

play

x7xxxx on beat 3

let ring

xx55xx on the & of 3

xx75xx on beat 4

xx55xx on the & of 4...

again, let it all ring, start simply, do it well, then get funky...(and do it all over the neck...)

then just plop on the Dmin chord at

x57765



back to the key of F....

the basic chords in the key of F are 'supposed' to be...

Fmaj or Fmaj7, Bbmaj or Bbmaj7, Cmaj (and C7)

and

Gmin (or Gmin7), Amin (or Amin7)

and

Dmin

but there's nothing wrong with playing

Dm to F to Gmaj (or G7) to A7 and back to Dmin....(similar to what was happening in House of the Rising Sun)

there's many many many ways to go...

you can make a pretty little progression walking a bass through the F maj scale...

try picking across these notes (as arpeggios...low to high...count "one and two and" on each chord)

xx3211 - F (again, pick across the chord)

then

xx2211 - F/Ebass

then

xx0211 - Dmin7

then

x3x211 F/C

then

x1x331 Bb

x0x211 F/A

3xx331 G,o8b...huh? Gmin7...spazzed out...

then

x3x310 C7

then

133211 F...

could you play out that sequence of moves (at least very similar moves) up the neck starting with this F chord x8756x ?

anyways...again...all the moves of music can be done in the key of F just like you see them in other keys...

on F? need to get back to Dmin?

play F to Cdim7 to Dmin....just like anyother key..

do

F/Cbass as x33211

C#dim7 as x4535x

and then Dmin7 as x57565


again, just like any other key...a common move is the I and the vi chord linked together by the V chord with it's 3rd in the bass...

for example C to G/B to Am....you've probably seen that as

x3201x C

to

x2000x or x2003x G/B

to

x0221x or x02210 Am


well, with F (I) and Dm (vi) the linking chord would be the Cmaj chord with it's 3rd (the note E) in the bass

xx3211 or x8756x F

to

xx2010 or x7555x C/E

to

xx0231 or x57765 Dmin...


etc..etc..etc...

what about the progression from Santana's tune Europa (Earth's Cry Heaven's Smile) ?

the lead in notes...

then

Bb7sus4/// - Bb7/// - Ebmaj7/// -

Abmaj7///- G7sus4/// - G7/// - Cmin7

land on a Cmaj7 next time around and ii-V in Eb...

another twist on the minor blues thing...

I think this was in that same book...it is a good one...

if you've been eating too many pork chops and feeling a bit out of shape......

you can just shred the cover...

might not have the same exact progression he had...

do as a slow 3/4 time...


Cmin// just 3 beats...

Cmin/Bb // (that's Cmin with Bb in the bass for 3 beats...bad notation!)

Abmaj7//

G7//

Cmin //

Cmin/Bb //

Abmaj7 //

G7#5 //

Abmaj7//

G7//

Cmin7//

Cmin7//

Ab7//

G7//

then for the last 2 measures (6 beats)

some combination of

******edit edit edit....brainshnort....some variation on Cmin and a minor ii-V (Cmin to Emin7b5 and Adominant).....sorry about that....edit edit edit...

you'd want a Dmin7b5 to some Gdominant there - a minor ii-V going to Cmin....end of edit****

another edit....***which probably means in the book he does it in the key of Dminor!****....sorry about that...end of edit...

bbq chips!

fact: the 3rd of I is just a half-step below the root of IV

so, example in key of E...

here's an E chord

0x210x play 2 beats

now put its 3rd (the note G#) in the bass

we might get

4x245x or 4xx45x or 4x645x play 2 beats

here's an A chord (the IV chord in the key of E)

5x765x play 2 beats

now...another fact...the root of IV is a whole step below the 5th of I...

so, try linking IV (the A chord) to 'E with its 5th in the bass' with a diminished chord...

here's an A# diminished

6x565x play 2 beats...

here's I with it's 5th in the bass (E with B in the bass)

7x645x or maybe 7x999x play 2 beats....

where are we...well, the vi chord in the key of E would be C#min or C#min7....

how could we link our E/B (E chord with B bass) to C#min7....

well, you guessed it....another diminished chord..

here's C diminished

8x787x play 2 beats...

then C#min7

as 9x999x for 2 beats...

where could we go after that....?

I dunno...

maybe...Amin6 for 2 beats as

5x455x....

then....


hey, what are the chords to Georgia (in E?)....

E or Emaj7

followed by G# or G#7 or G#7sus4 to G#7

followed by C#min7

followed by A....

followed by....

can you get some of that same bass walking about stuff to happen in that song?

bbq chips!
