Jazz Guitar Chord Voicings So What Chords in Fourths 4ths

okay



[xOnimpulsex]

so are you just taking that "so what chord" and constructing chords out of that or that dorian mode? And they can be used in any point in the progression?

[scraggo]

@xOnimpulsex I am taking the so what chord through the dorian mode (1 2 b3 4 5 6 b7). the first one is 1 4 b7 and b3 of the scale. the second one is 2 5 1 and 4 of the scale. the third one takes all the scale degrees up again etc. and YES you can use the chords interchangeably depending on your comping melody or dissonance

There always has to be one or two tirdballs over analyzing lessons on here. It was clear, concise and on point. If people don’t get it maybe they should go back to learning there major scale?? Great Voicing comps, Kudous.. explained well.

A lesson on the walking bass line would be cool too.

the guitar is tuned in fourths

[Timotaa]

it's called a minor 11th

Nice & clear!! You are a good teacher!!

Thank you for making it fun and thrilling!!

It seems so easy being played as you do that I might even decide to undust my old, old guitar! Brilliant scraggo!

Cheers for the lesson, i was shown quartal harmony voicing before but this helps put them in context. Thanks.

Hey there. Nice lesson, got a quick question for you if you have time. As I understand it, the chord is built by stacking diatonic 4ths. How come the 5th is in there but no 6 or 2? if we go up in 4ths we get r 4 b7 b3 6 2 5 r. The 5th you have on string 1 isn't a 4th above the note on string 2. If you have flipped it up 2 octaves from string 6, isn't it a stack of 4ths up from that note? Sorry to be a PITA!

[scraggo]

The fifth of the chord is the last diatonic fourth in the cycle, BUT since when 4ths are inverted, they become 5ths, that A actually is a 4th BELOW the tonic. So, it's still a chord in fourths, but we have to stack starting from the fifth: A D G C F. I really just think of this one as a Dm7 add4 or something like that. We can thank Bill Evans for this awesome chord. Check out the "so what chord" entry on wikipedia as well.

Great lesson on chord theory/4ths. It would be cool as a follow up to hear you play "So What" and apply these voicings over the track to put it into context. Thanks
