@ActuallySettle Год назад

Steve Cropper, such an amazing player. Booker T, Otis, the resume is endless. Shows how the great players don't distinguish between rhythm and lead playing.

@curiousguitarist Год назад

So true, it’s just music on their instrument.

@ActuallySettle Год назад

@@curiousguitarist well I think the reason it's hard to play like that is a guitar doesn't sound 'full' unless you're playing on all six strings, playing triads and diads sliding around doesn't sound that good unaccompanied. As a result guitarists like to impersonate Hendrix or Curtis Mayfield who would hit the bass at the beginning of a bar and ornament on the top strings. That's a great style but in a band with lots of instruments like Booker T and the crew, Cropper style works better. Iirc Keith Richards doesn't even have the low string on his guitar.

@acousticmonkey2209 Год назад

One of the most helpful bits I got on triads here was "If the root is on this string, this is always the shape." That’s really help me break down the shapes and give me a quick path to what fingers I should be using where. I constantly felt like it was too much to take in. Thanks 😊

@curiousguitarist Год назад

Ahhh of course! Especially when the set of strings contains the B string, those shapes seem unrelated. Once you get them under your fingers the next step is to see what those same inversions look like on other string sets. That usually allows for great insight into how to manage chords and scales crossing that B string. Thanks for the comment!

Steve Cropper is one of the most influential guitarists in U.S. history! He (unless I’m mistaken) plays a “Telecaster” for the most part. A “Memphis Gents” member with Booker T as well as “The Mar-Keys”, he’s written more hit songs than I have fingers and toes! Great man!!!

@mikemjp1573 3 года назад

Great stuff! So is voice leading when one of the notes from the triad remains the same in the next triad (apart form parallel, which is where they all move an equal amount)? I have a feeling that's a similar concept to a pedal note somehow, connecting all chords in a progression together. Subs rising fast Chris, keep it up!

@curiousguitarist 3 года назад

Voice leading is any harmonic movement related to the last note...so yeah, even if a note stays the same, it’s “function” changes under the new chord. I have a video on pedal tones planned already, but I’ll plan one for voice leading as well!!

I really enjoyed this lesson, Chris. Interesting to my ears that this chord progression makes it sound like there's some dominant 7 chords, when they are all straight major chords. I'm guessing this is because of the leading tones from the melody that my brain is used to hearing.

As long as your action (string height) is fairly low it should move right over. But the higher on the fretboard you go on most acoustics the more effort is required to press the strings down due to higher action and string tension.
