@guitary 10 месяцев назад

Needed an exercise for this! I guess if you look at it as a power chord progression, you basically drop down a string and up 2 frets to anticipate next 5th. From there a two fret gives you a 4th so 1,4,5 is an easy progression with whatever is being worked on. Good stuff.

@toxictime9604 10 месяцев назад

One more time a really great method. I already learned sth bout the circle just watching and before I even grab my guitar. But if you have a beautiful chord shape you don't know anything about, how to determine what of these notes actually is the root? Is there sth to stick to? At this point my only chance would be a comparison with the CAGED shapes to get there and then find out "oh yeah, it's a kind of a C shape with maybe a minor 7 or maybe a 4 instead of a 3" for instance. Is there any better, faster way to get there?

@toxictime9604 10 месяцев назад

Besides, there is another root on the D string as well one could use to practice with

@curiousguitarist 10 месяцев назад

Glad you enjoyed this one! As far as identifying the root, studying triads get's you everything you need to be able to ID what notes are in a chord, and what function they serve, beyond that, getting familiar with the notes in chords (chord spelling) helps a ton as well.

@toxictime9604 10 месяцев назад

I'm already familiar with chordspelling and triads (which are often just a part of a barchord). But the chord you play there consists of 4 notes (incl the octave). Now that I know what the root is, I could eventually manage to name it (think it's just a kind of inversion of E major with the 3rd on the low E string, A string skipped, root on D, 5th on G and octave on B string) but if I didn't know what the root is, how could I figure it out?

@curiousguitarist 10 месяцев назад

@@toxictime9604 great question. And yes you're right, that chord is a first inversion triad, with an octave of the root on the D string as you pointed out. When I look at a new voicing I always try to deconstruct it...finding the root can be done by ear with a bit of practice. But if there is no context at all about the voicing I rely heavily on triadic familiarity to apply trial and error. That get's easier and easier as you work through new voicings. One thing you can try is to "build" a random chord...could be anything...move the notes around without ANY context till you have something you like, then get out the pencil, write down all the notes and start analyzing it. I learn something new everytime I do stuff like that. Hope this helps!

@Maxamadeusmozart 9 месяцев назад

Chris the chord you played first is E minor seventh nine

@curiousguitarist 9 месяцев назад

Indeed! Often referred to as "Minor9". Whenever you see just the number "9" after a chord name it usually suggests that the proper 7th is already in the chord (this does not hold true for 11 and 13 chords containing the extensions below them). When a triad simply has the 9th degree added it is properly written as "add 9". Hope that helps!

@MC-lg6xt 9 месяцев назад

Are you finding the notes in the b-strings through octaves starting from the 5th string as described in your octaves video?

@curiousguitarist 9 месяцев назад

Exactly!!

@ericrincon545 9 месяцев назад

Question: So as long as you know the root note of a chord you can shift/practice the COF?

@curiousguitarist 9 месяцев назад

Yes, perfect!

@stratocumulusnimbostratus328 10 месяцев назад

Just a thought isn’t the circle of 4ths more common in music? Ie backward round the circle of 5ths or do you think actually better to go both directions? Thanks

@curiousguitarist 10 месяцев назад

Yes indeed, best to go in both if you want to. The circle of fourths generates the 2 5 1 4 7 3 6 chord progression, used a lot in Classical and Jazz music. Going in 5ths brings you stuff like "Hey Joe" etc...

@stratocumulusnimbostratus328 10 месяцев назад

@@curiousguitarist cool thanks

@splashesin8 10 месяцев назад

😊

@Gk2003m 10 месяцев назад

May I ask: why the circle of fifths? The overwhelming majority of musical movement is in the opposite direction: the circle of fourths. e-7 > a-7 > D7 > Gmaj7. First of many reasons: bass tone resolution, the “perfect cadence”. If instead of working the Circe of fifths for these exercises you were to work the Circle of Fourths, you would be automatically building in the movement that covers 80% of all pop, jazz, and classical music.

@curiousguitarist 10 месяцев назад

The direction does not matter, 4ths is fine. I chose 5ths because it is usually how the circle is described, and an easier inroad description-wise. Thanks for the view and comment.

@azmike3572 9 месяцев назад

Possibly coming: "Indiana Jones and the Circle of Fifths".

@johng3323 6 месяцев назад

There is no Gb, Db, Ab, Eb, or Bb major keys. As an example, to write Bb Major (Bb, C, D, Eb, F, G, A) as A# Major, you would have to write out the notes (in A# Major) as A#, C, D, D#, F, G, A. This is awkward and confusing even though it is technically correct. Details matter! Music is confusing enough for beginning and intermediate players. Hope this clarification helps.

@curiousguitarist 6 месяцев назад

@jkdsonly6233 Месяц назад

What??

@LifeDL 9 месяцев назад

How did you know the root for the last chord?

@curiousguitarist 9 месяцев назад

I learned that chord voicing as an E chord. When analyzed it I could see it was G# E B and E again on the B string. So that voicing has two roots in it, one on the D and one on the B string. The B string is the easier one to follow for me because it’s the highest note in the chord. Hope that helps!

@fordmi79 10 месяцев назад

Where you going with that gun in your hand?! I’m definitely somebody who has the e and a strings down pretty well but not the others. I will t practice that last chord voicing.
