Andrew Wasson of Creative Guitar Studio goes through the use and application of chord inversions in his explanation of voice leading. Chord inversions can be used to create smooth & connected bass-lines between chord changes in any chord progression, in any style of music.

  • Hey, Andrew Once again you posted a great helpful video. While practicing this I realized that add 2 (9) and Maj 9 are the same. So what is the difference? Just the name? Can you give me answer, if i'm right, or wrong? Thanks again, Andrew.

  • @AXELGRIZ,

    Thanks for the kind words! Much appreciated...

    The difference is that an, "add2" would be a triad with a second degree added. The formula would be; 1, 2, 3, 5. (or also; 1, 3, 5, 9).

    The, "Maj. 9" type would be a seventh quality chord with the 9th added. That formula would be; 1, 3, 5, 7, 9.

    Hope this helps,

    Andrew Wasson

  • @creativeguitarstudio Wait, so does adding the 7 change the function of that 2 (or 9)?

  • Thanks!

  • @creativeguitarstudio I see. Thanks.

  • wow andrew jammed out "I'm Telling You Now" by Keb mo

  • @diodimov Judge a tree by it's fruit. I do not need to know each fruit individually. The desire of those who dislike learning about music to vanquish educational texts already tells me everything I need to know.

  • @Blitzbok And your thinking underlines the way u r branding people without knowing them at all!

  • man, your lessons really speak to the intermediateself-taught guitarplayer. it's been quite a while since i learned something new, but you're making it happen. thanks!
