A Chrismas Gift For Guitarist

[bayoubill 734]

These Chord forms are the most versitile I've used and if you don't know or use them they are priceless

I learned these back in the early 70's when Ted Greene put out Chord Chemistry. I wore this book out

 

SEE BELOW

Here are the chord forms and I suggest you learn them thoughly not just know them. This will take many months so give it time . 

Once you can comfortablly finger them learn know how and where to use them. They are drop 2 chords and I can if anyone wants them show the forms on the E B G and D strings

I hope you use this info. You won't be sorry

I love the Chord! app for my phone. 

You can enter a set of chords and it gives you scales that work.

You can enter a chord and see all the places you can play it.

You can do any stringed instrument.

You can enter a set of notes and find the scale name (reverse search).

I had another phone app that quizzed me notes on the bass and treble clefs. You just answer as fast as you can. Do it about 10 minutes a day and you get pretty fast at reading music.

And then there was Syntorial which was a pretty great way to learn synths.

I’m disappointed. I thought you were going to give us the chord sequence to « All I Want for Christmas » .

But i’ll certainly have a look at this as soon as i get out of the cold shower !

Pfft.....

Rules? There are no rules.

That way I get to call the malodorous combination of non-harmonic, non-melodious drivel I play on me geetar 'music'.
