This week's Folky Fridays free online guitar lesson live stream from Folk Friend will be all about the mixolydian mode. This mode has some peculiarities which can be exploited for lots of guitar accompaniment fun, so I'll be running you through some fun things you can do in standard tuning (EADGBE), drop D (DADGBE) and DADGAD tuning.
If you're looking for loads of slow Irish tunes to practice along with, with on-screen guitar chords, chord diagrams and lots more then become a Folk Friend member to take advantage of the playalongs series by clicking the link below:

Hi Nye! A few days ago I found a fine channel about Irish guitar. But it’s in French. I didn’t know the guy before. He seems quite sympathetic. And I think you know French a bit, right? I am pretty sure you shall like him. Sharing his channel link tonight :) Iechy da!

Cool! It's not the guy who does the oaim videos as well is it? I know his first language is French

@@folkfriend Heyo! Sorry for the delay. I have been quite worried lately and little sleep with all what is going on this planet. I watched the Heaton’s Live sesh tonight and it always makes me feel better. Eh, nope! That is not the guy. I liked the lesson of that OAIM chap, interesting. The guy I was referring to is named Franck. Here is the link to one of his lessons. He gives great tips. He is more technical than you, it seems, but I haven’t yet heard him talking about the modes much so far. Worth watching ar aon nó(anyway) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GmW0nEnCtNk.html Have a nice Sunday, pal! ;)

Have you done a video discussing sevenths. I am a bit confused. Is a seventh only dominant if it’s a seventh oh the fifth chord? Sevenths on the other chords are presumably not dominant?

@folkfriend 3 года назад

A major seven chord contains notes 1, 3 and 5 from a major scale. For example D major 7 contains D, F#, A and C#. A "dominant" 7 chord contains a flattened seventh, so the C# would become C natural. In the context of folk music, dominant 7 chords would most commonly be used as chord V in a major key. In any other mode the equivalent chord would be a dominant and the VII chord in that key would also be a dominant 7 if it wasn't already. For example in the key of A Dorian, which contains the same chords as G major, you would have Am7, Bm7, Cmaj7, D7 (the 5th chord from G major, so it's a dominant), Em7, Fmaj7, G7 (that's chord VII so it's dominant).

@folkfriend 3 года назад

The name "dominant" comes from the days before jazz when you would normally only use a chord with a flattened seventh in it as chord V. The name is now used to refer to that kind of chord, no matter what context it is used in.

@@folkfriend Thanks Nye. I knew there was a reason why I was confused!🙃. It’s a good explanation. I guess like a lot of music theory it just ‘happens’ in context, because there’s never enough time to deliberately think it out whilst you’re playing. A useful excuse afterwards for why you did what you just did 😏. But I can see it very useful for composition

@folkfriend 3 года назад

@@mattslater4605 Yeah definitely, it's one of those things that you have to internalise as Irish music goes too fast to consciously think about it when you're looking for the chords! That's why I always recommend that people think of music in terms of the intervals too, because you can hear a major third or whatever but you can't hear that it's "D-F#". You can only work that out afterwards. Similarly you can see a major third gap on the fretboard, or know a shape for a major chord, but you won't necessarily be able to think "where is D and where is F#" at speed.

@@folkfriend if you haven’t already covered it- sevenths might be a topic for one of your Fridays. Different flavours of sevenths, why you need them, and where to find them in different tunings etc
