Chord of the Week 63
Don’t play this one for an hour straight, please. It sounds cool, but it’s a bit of a stretch. It’s a variation on “last week’s” voicing, with the seventh in […]

If you get away from half steps too long, you kinda’ miss ’em. I know right about now you probably had a hankerin’ for a nice, juicy half step. Maybe […]
I had to make an exception to the half step rule here for reasons of um, uh… national security. Yeah that’s it. Not really. The point of COTW is to […]
Here’s an altered E7 with no third. It still sounds like it wants to resolve. Soon. Maybe it’s a good thing you didn’t have to actually wait a week to […]
Since my rule for this exercise is: No half steps, no glory, I had to take a standard voicing for B-7b5 and add that 11 (E) as an open string. […]
Since Darn That Dream goes to C Maj7 here, I decided to do that also. This voicing is similar to some previous ones in DTD. You’d almost think E-7, GMaj7 […]
Necessity being the smother of all conventions has led me, and hence, you, to this C#-7 unusual and very hip voicing. How hip? It’s so hip that…I dunno’. You’ll notice that […]
You might have seen this one coming. Or maybe not. It is petty similar to the first chord in the Darn That Dream progression, only different. Please follow and […]
“Nuttin’ doin’!” No open strings here. But still, a cool voicing for B7+4 with a half step and the melody. The good news is that this one is transposable. \tran(t)s-po-ze-bel […]
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. Please follow and like us:
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. Please […]
