Chord of the Week 54
Next is A-7, again with a 13th. Unlike the Bb-7 from “last week”, this voicing has the minor third in it, and as always, the melody on top. Will the […]
Chord of the Week 53
The second chord change in Darn That Dream is Bb- (followed by Eb7). For this exercise, I have combined the two into a Bb-13 with the half step between the […]
Chord of the Week 52
I created a little exercise for myself that consisted of playing the chord changes to the A section of Darn That Dream with a half step in every single voicing. […]
Chord of the Week 51
I mean, this is getting ridiculous. How many cool voicings can you get from one scale. Like, save some for other scales, dude.
Chord of the Week 50
If you just take the same scale, find a cool voicing and then just move up to the next scale tones you get more exceptionally cool voicings. It’s almost like […]

If after playing this chord you think to yourself “these notes are just the next steps up an A myxolydian scale from the previous COTW,” you’d be soooo right.
Chord of the Week 48

Chord of the Week 45

Chord of the Week 44
By special request, this month I’ll be answering the age-old question: “Where can I find a Job?” Not really. I will, conversely, answer a question about how to play voicings […]
Chord of the Week 42
Another scary entry in the “Chord with No Name” series. Play this one enough and you might get elected Mayor of Carmel, CA.
Chord of the Week 41
There are only so many clusters that can be played on the guitar. Here’s another one that can be used whenever you need to take it “out”. It can also […]
Chord of the Week 40
When you need to play something dissonant. I mean reallllly dissonant, may I suggest this week’s chord? It looks rather innocent. It’s just four notes. It’s very simple to play. […]
