It would be nice if you listed the notes in each chord, especially for us solo acoustic guitar players looking to create authentic sounding arrangements. I know my chord formulas but you pianner players often stack chord tones differently than guitar players!
Great tutorial. As a guitar player, wanna be keyboard player/ Hammond player, your explanation of the 1st and 2nd inversions turned a light on in my head for me! Lol. Minimal movement for chord changes is the way to go.
Yes indeed!! That principle can mean the difference between a keyboard instrument sticking out like a sore thumb or sounding like it truly belongs in the song!
I totally understand! Was my first one and I learned immediately that was not the way to do it! Thanks for checking it out ! and sorry for the frustration
Hey Brandon, brazilian fan here, met you guys at the Curitiba airport. Lemme as you something, when your right hand does the Fm triad at the intro, and you're doing a lower Bb with your left hand, that would give us a Bb minor7 9 chord , also called Bb7(9). I don't fell this chord as a F minor, but as a dominant Bb , totally in context with the Bb mixolydian scale you mentioned. What do you think about this. I know it's the same, but I'm talking specifically about the chord name and function. Thanks for the music, hope to see you again in Brazil in a near future
You are absolutely right! It is definitely not Fm but a Bb9 ...I wanted to keep it as simple and quick as possible so I kind of skipped explaining some chord names and tones but I probably should have given this more attention instead (thought about that after I posted) ...Maybe I should have at the very least just referred to it as an F minor chord “shape” over Bb or called it a slash chord (Fm/Bb) Thanks for pointing that out ! In Future posts I will call the chords their proper names based on context and function ! Thanks for watching!
