DIME DANCING: The Music Of Steely Dan
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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
I mean, this is getting ridiculous. How many cool voicings can you get from one scale. Like, save some for other scales, dude.
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.
Here is a cool voicing for A13. You can play a big fat open A on the bottom also. Or maybe a big fat open E and call it E-9.
Since a humanoid can never have too many ways to play an altered Db13 voicing, here is yet another. By all rights, you should have been able to play this […]
“What took ya’ so long.”As if by magic six months or so hadn’t elapsed between the last COTW, we continue with more ways to play Db13+4. This one doesn’t have a […]
Again, by special request, a chord that shows up fairly often, but can present a mystery. Notice that in the voicing for Db13+4 or (+11) there is no Db. Leave […]
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 […]
Another scary entry in the “Chord with No Name” series. Play this one enough and you might get elected Mayor of Carmel, CA.
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 […]
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. […]
