2 Chords Songs;
___________________
Sublime- What I Got D,G
Grateful Dead- Fire On The Mountain A,G (originally in B, A is easier)
Dave Mason-Feelin' Alright D,G ( originally in B, I like D!)
These are each very cool 'jam songs'. Fun to play and recognizable to most.
And occassionally I run across B7/9- 1
Anyone care to share a link?
Thanks.
Hoibie,
Many times when chords are written like this ( B7/9- 1) the writer is using the #1 to describe a particular variation of the chord being played. Use this link and choose the chord you wish to play and most all of the chords will have 4 or more variations of desired chord.
B7#9 (x2123x)
B7b9 (x21212)
A few friends and I have been having kitchen jams for a while now. One night one of us got a little too tipsy, Fell off a chair, bumped his head,he was ok. We got him back on the chair, put a hockey helmut on him and kept on playing. So we called ourselves The Crash Helmut Jug Band ever since and still are having lots of laughs.
Badeye.
"The Crash Helmut Jug Band" !!!
I love it, 'at's one of the best names I've ever heard.
Goats cheese? that sounds ba-a-ah-a-ah-a-ah-a-ah-bad(that's supposed to be the sound a goat makes!?!?!?) Sorry, I couldn't resist.
BLT's kick butt!
Old Doll, your first description immediately made me stomach growl upon reading. I too am off to the kitchen! Where's my dang fryin' pan?
Roger,
This song has a really nice flow with the tasteful chord progressions you chose. I can hear your early influences in this one. Nice job, this is one of your best to date. I especially like the E major at the end of the chorus going back into C. This creates a definitve seperation transition, cool dude!

Here's a much easier way to understand, apply, and put to direct use playing chords, many different ways, the way the original composers intended them to be played. The diffeneces in 7ths, 9ths, 11th, and 13ths are clearly shown in chord form with a lot less wordage;
The E that your talking about makes it an inversion. You've flipped the chord from "bottom up"
A C# E
to "top down"
"E A C#"
You make it a 7th by adding the G (G# for maj7, G for dom7). Then you add the rest of the notes in sequence to that.
Point being, you build extended chords on 7ths. That's why a 9 and a 11 and a 13 are all 7th chords.
That this is a guitar and not a keyboard is really where we're breaking down. You can demonstrate this fully on the keyboard, but it's hard to do on the fretboard. Its the case for most theory, I think. Anyway, for example the A13 in Deacon Blues (great choice, BTW. I love that band) is, when you build it out properly.
A13 = A C# E G B D F#
If you're saying that my A13( 575657) is incorrect then your dispute is not with me but with Donald Fagen , Walter Becker, Larry Carlton, Lee Rienour, Wayne Shorter, and Chuck Rainey straight out of the Steely Dan songbook(Aja). I have, and continue to learn a great deal of my theory from these guys and I mean you no ill will nor disrespect but I'm gonna give more legitimacy to Fagen, Becker and friends than you. I admire your passion nontheless.
I don't think you and I could co-exist in a band together. (haha)
Stickers on guitars, mmm this is a touchy, controversial subject but I'll express my opinion. Stickers on guitars are there pretty much for one reason, to draw attention to the person with said instrument. Many will say stickers are a tool of individual expression and freedom of speech. And they're right, but they're still objects of visual, I'll repeat that, visual, enhancement. Although appearance is a condition of acceptance in most genres of music the main draw to music is the sound, the audio. Draw attention to yourself by the sounds that come from your instrument, not the sticky, multi-colored paper on them.
I would love a BF who plays the guitar!!! Never let it be said that all chicks are music haters. I have a similar problem, i play both accoustic and electric guitar and i am driving my father absolutley banana sandwiches! we have all tile floors at my house, and let me tell you something, they sure do make those guitars sound loud at three in the morning. Not to mention that I can bounce light onto the ceiling with my fingertips. So DPG, I know how you feel. Just tell her to deal with it, because like arkady said "It goes with the territory."
2 questions;
What is a BF ?
And how do you bounce light onto the ceiling with your fingertips ?
Don Corleone ,
Potroast in the USA is simply, meat, potatoes, carrott, onions, and celery all cooked together in one big pot. Sometimes an electric slow cooker ( oft called crock pot) is used. The meat, most people use beef, is browned before placing it in the pot. Then comes the personalizing of the dish with the chef/creators seasonings of choice added in with the meat and vegetables. The aroma from a good potroast will draw hungry family members and friends from miles away!
Don't confuse an artifact of how you fret on the fretboard with how the chord is derived. In your example the last E is irrelevant to the chord. We'll use dom7ths (flat 7th) as that's more common, but it doesn't change anything.
.
No, no, no brother dude the last is not irrelevant. The last E is the accent on the chord. It's the final note that gives the chord its distinction. And I'm not sure where you're getting this stuff but if I play an A7 when I'm supposed to play A13 on , lets say Steely Dans' Deacon Blues, bottom line, it's gonna sound lacking and incomplete. Again here the note that changes the A7 to A13, the one you say is irrelevent, is the accent note, the note that differentiates one hearing the song and saying, "hey i know that song" or not playing the accent and have people say " what in the hell is he playing?"
again my archaic artifact chords;
A7 = x02020<accenting defining final note in chord sequence
A13=575657<this little B here seperates, accents, and defines the chord
and if the person playing beside me doesn't play the specific
chords I chart for them, I find someone who does.
Thanks for the response guys, i play every saturday when im drunk infront of about 20 people that i know, no problems at all lol but i think SouthPaw is right, i will face this head on, if they think im crap, ill try harder next time, if they think im good.......I'll try harder next time
Yeah right on Scrimmy, it's a scientific fact that successful musicians must possess the thickest skin known to mankind! You're on the right track, it's all about never being content and complacent with your accomplishments.
Upon their initial emergence, Green Day was about as punk as they come. Their commercial success however softened them and now they have a guitar player and a keyboardist performing with the original 3, unseen behind or under the stage. Pretty un-punk if you ask me. You want punk? Listen to the New York Dolls, early Velvet Underground, Iggy Pop, Ramones, and best of all-time (IMO) The Sex Pistols!
Scrimmy,
The best way to get over the initial onset of stage fright is to face it head on. I play out in front of many people almost every day of my life. I still have feelings of doubt and a case of the nerves each and every time. More times than not, performing in front of a group of strangers, or friends, can be a lesson in humility. But it all boils down to this; how much do you love music and are you willing to accept the bad with good? I think, from what I'm hearing from you, that you are ready. Knock 'em dead Scrimmy and write about it on the " Let's hear about your gigs" forum.

Old Doll,
This is one of your finest works. Please let us know when it'll be available for our ears. You are a true gift to us all here at Chordie. Thanks for sharing.
Ciao Bella,

You just found it!!!!!! It's pretty much all encompassing. Talk at you soon.
Oldnewbie,
Just makin' small talk. Keep on writing and welcome to chordie.
Oldnewbie,
I have some friends who live in your neck of the woods. Do you know any Hancocks?( Mike, Buddy, or Michelle) I'm from the New River Valley ( VA,ie. Roanoke, Blacksburg, Pulaski) area originally, now reside on the west coast of Florida.

A7 = x02020 notes played are A E G C# and E
A9 = x02423 notes played are A E B C# and G
Pick up your guitar and play each of these chords. The difference is not irrelevant. The notes are not the same. They may be in continuum with a sequence but there is a noticable diffence in the sound of the chord. Example, If I need to play A7 in a song A9 will work , and it will , in most cases, enhance the song. But if I need to play A9 in a song and play A7 it will , again in most cases, sound empty and lacking.
Oldnewbie ,
I'm in the same boat as you, so to speak. I too have a 12 year old little gal and what you write is oh so true. Well said...............

nice one, most forums get really defensive, so how does this admin stuff work? Do you guys get paid to look after the forum or is it pure passion? I know very little about the deeper things online, I'm just a player who though youtube was a good idea to use for guitar lessons...
It's simple Danelectro Spytunes,
We all were taught by someone, or are currently learning. We're paying it foward in an act of good faith without expectations of monetary compensations. That's all.

ps- you're missing the F chord in your "teaching" of Little Wing. It's kind of important to get the proper flow of the song. The progression goes as follows; Em G Am Em Bm A#m Am C G F C D hold extended ( repeat throughout entire song) One is never too good to learn.....................no charge for this one, it's on the hizzy.
Oldnewbie ,
Neil Young is Canadian.................
The B is but a small obstacle. It just takes a little time and effective application. This is how I introduce my students to the world of Bmajor.(x=do not play) Proceed only after feeling comfortable with each level.
1=pointer finger 2=middle finger 3=ring finger 4=pinky finger
step1) x24xxx ( fingers 1 & 3)
step2) x244xx (fingers 1,2, & 3)
step3)x2440x (Same as above)
step4)x2444x (fingers 1 & 3, bend finger 3 at first joint and barre 4th fret)
step5)x24442 ( sames as above plus pointer finger barres 2nd fret)
Envision, conquer, jam on...............
I call my strat my strat.
I call my Les Paul my Les Paul
I call my J-45 my J-45
I have 4 Takamines, i call them Tak 1, Tak 2, Tak 3, & Tak 4. (in the order i obtained them)
etc.....
I call my fretless bass my fretless bass.
I do however, have the serial #'s for all of my guitars in a safety deposit box at an undisclosed financial institution, with photographs of said instruments.
Although I care deeply for and cherish all of my instruments I have never really been into giving a non-living organisms individual names, other than what they actually are. More power to those of you who do name your instruments, it jis' ain't for this musician.
