Harmonic Progressions | Learning and Loving Music Theory Kelvin, You actually caught a mistake on the roman numerals! Thanks, I’ll have to fix that. The first and last chords of the progression are not 7th chords. Somehow I inadvertently typed “I7″ on the first chord of all the major keys. In the classical tradition, for the sake of stability, the first and last chords of a circle-of-fifths progression are usually triads, not 7th chords. Harmonic Sequences Part 2 In the jazz tradition all chords usually are 7ths, in which case the progression will start and end with 7th chords. Thanks again for your interest and input.
Better Guitar - Guitar Songs You Should Learn. There are certain songs that every guitar player should try to learn. Either they are commonly requested or they have cool guitar parts that will expand your playing skills. I am going to list songs in several styles of music and explain why I think they should be add to your “play list.” While most are electric guitar songs, there are some acoustic songs also.

This is a huge list and will take most players years to complete (if ever.) Johnny B.

The Aesthetics of Popular Music Popular music is widely assumed to be different in kind from the serious music or art music that, until very recently, monopolized attention in philosophical discussions of music. In recent years, however, popular music has become an important topic for philosophers pursuing either of two projects. First, popular music receives attention from philosophers who see it as a test case for prevailing philosophies of music. Even now, most philosophy of music concentrates on the European classical repertoire. Although the category of popular music presupposes differences from serious music, there is limited consensus about the nature of these differences beyond the near-tautology that most people prefer popular music to art music. Among the topics that have benefited from this reconsideration are the nature of music’s aesthetic value, music’s claim to autonomy, and the ontology of music. Table of Contents 1.

Guitar Chords Magic | Free Guitar Chords | Guitar Chord Charts 10 Essentials On Guitar Improvisation Photo by Simone13 AKA John Pastorello Besides writing and playing songs I just love improvising. When I practice improvising I always first pour myself a cup of green tea, I put on some folk music (e.g. Other times I practice melodic patterns, triads, arpeggios, licks, everything that will spice up my improvisation skills. Improvising is one of the most fun and fulfilling aspects of guitar playing, but also something that requires a lot of hard work and dedication. Here are 10 basic essentials that will help you become a better improviser. 1 – Pentatonics / blues Learn to play the pentatonic/blues scale all over the neck in all five shapes. 2 – Major Scale Next to the pentatonic scale, the major scale is the most important scale to learn. Once you can play the scale in all positions, connect the different positions with each other. The most exciting and challenging part is learning how to improvise with the scales. 3- Melodic patterns Example: Major scale = 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
Play The 7 Modes in 7 Days (Tabs Incl.) Photo by Marta Monleón Modes are used in all kinds of musical styles like Jazz, Rock, Metal, Flamenco, etc. They create a certain mood or feel to your playing. If you feel like you are stuck playing solos using just Major/Minor or Pentatonic/Blues scales all the time, you’re ready to call on the modes and dive a little deeper. When I first got introduced to modes I was a little bit overwhelmed, but also excited to explore this whole new world of boundless possibilities. I soon realized it’s all about the journey and not the destination, so enjoy the process! There are 7 modes which can be derived from the major scale: 1 – Ionian 2 – Dorian 3 – Phrygian 4 – Lydian 5 – Mixolydian 6 – Aeolian 7 – Locrian Each mode starts and stops on a different note within the major scale. In this post we take the C major scale to explain the modes, but you can derive the 7 modes from any major scale in any key. I challenge you to understand the basics and work your way through each mode in 7 days.

Music Monday: Best Basslines Happy Music Monday! Today we're gonna talk about basslines, those things you never notice unless they're very, very, very good. But when they are, boy do they improve a song, right? Scott's picked five good ones but overlooked several on purpose, in hopes you might call him out on what he's missed. Go on, start taking notes so you can put him in his place. The Smiths - The Queen is Dead Go find someone who likes The Smiths, and they'll talk for hours about the band. Off to a good start already! Hey! Marvin Gaye - Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holla) I had to limit each artist on this list to one song only, otherwise What's Going On would have taken five slots by itself. Aerosmith - Sweet Emotion There aren't very many times a bass player gets to do a solo as an intro, so that should help illustrate how beloved the low end of "Sweet Emotion" has become. The Who - Boris The Spider Yes, I've skipped a few great ones. Muse - Hysteria Bass tracks normally aren't paced like guitar solos.
Jouer tous les accords Avec les accords barrés, il est facile de jouer tous les accords. Le principe de décalage, ou "la magie de la guitare" Partons d'un accord en première position pour expliquer le principe de décalage. C'est l'accord de Mi majeur en première position. Maintenant voici un accord barré : Fa majeur. Remarquez que c'est le même accord que Mi majeur, décalé d'une case vers les aigües. Hein ? Oui, on a bien décalé toutes les notes d'une case. Si vous avez compris le principe, vous saurez jouer l'accord de Fa# majeur. La fondamentale : le repère Pour les accords que l'on vient de jouer, c'est la note jouée sur la corde de Mi grave qui donne le nom à l'accord. Comme vous connaissez les noms des notes sur la corde de Mi, vous savez jouer tous les accords majeurs (il y en a 12). Par exemple pour jouer Si bémol majeur il suffit de trouver la note Si bémol sur la corde de Mi puis de jouer la position “accord majeur” utilisée juste au-dessus à partir du Si bémol (6ème case). Et les accords mineurs ?
7th Chords on the piano - Week Ten - One of the most valuable chord types you'll ever learn... Hello again, and welcome to the next edition of the newsletter. If you recall the first week we learned about the three chords you absolutely, positively CAN'T do without. Then in the next weeks lesson we showed you how easy it is to learn ALL the major chords (there are 12 of them) and be able to play them in seconds -- not hours or days or weeks or months or years. Next you learned how to easily turn major chords into minor chords just by moving one key one-half step -- by lowering the 3rd of the major chord. Then we learned diminished triads -- just by lowering the 3rd and the 5th of a major chord 1/2 step. Then we learned inversions -- how to stand chords on their head. And finally, we took up augmented triads -- formed by simply raising the 5th of a major triad. Then we learned about major 6th chords. To form a 7th chord, just find the 7th note of the scale and lower it 1/2 step. As usual, now it's up to you.
