Ignoble, yep I also watched my Sharona as well as "I've got your number (written on the back of my hand)" and "I think I'm turning Japanese"

See below

Went to see guitar foursome Clive Carroll, John Etheridge, Gordon Giltrap, and Raymond Burley at Huntingdon Hall in Worcester on Wednesday. Not a fan of Giltrap myself, but Clive Carroll definitely worth paying to see - and as a foursome they were superb. As were Burley and Carroll together.

Loved the Jumpin' Jack Flash version !
Ended up watching The Knack playing My Sharona on You Tube ...forgot what a great old song that was !

Those old dim chords eh Wolt? what would we do without them.

I've been attemting to get more jazzy in my old age. And to appreciate m7-9s and flattened and sharpened 9ths. Try this one.

A bass G/Bb/Db/E - nice ......

or a CMaj7-9 then play the same chord but with a A bass - cool .....

[bamboo2] 26/2/2011 09:34

wolt, sorry missed 163

yes, the bit starting G#. 'tis a run up in chords! [link to song in 162]

i don't fully get the theory, but do use and move the same shaped dim chords.

this is a good one to practice dims. i regularly get the fingers of my left hand in a tangle with this one.

these bits - G# A A#dim B

look just to be a rising bass, tbh bamboo - not having listening to the song for a while, but just that if you raise the root note by a semitone / fret, it becomes a dim chord, a root higher

well, raising the roof on a flat 7th chord to be more exact

you can see it here..



if you can see the D 7 shape, i.e. slid down a fret then fretting the first fret on the D string makes it a D sharp dim / E Flat dim

the picture above 'says' its an A Sharp Dim, but equally it's a G dim, an E dim, an A sharp (B flat) dim and a C sharp Dim - this is because with a dim chord, the notes are all 3 frets apart - eg. C Eflat G flat, A

been playing this, with the e and b chords on the 7th fret.
works well with the progression from Ab upwards...
Another Nail



edit, this one

[wolterix] 25/2/2011 22:28

lol, bamboo - no, I know what you mean...

:)

there's a Smiths song where you slide that shape up two frets - think It's Back to the Old House

that A shaped E - I fret the 'A' bit with my little finger, and avoid the top string (A6 yuk!) - because I'm a good for nothing' 'unclassical' playah!

[jon827] 25/2/2011 22:23

Told ya... you need to tune you axe so the strings are just about hangin on :)

[bamboo2] 25/2/2011 22:19

hi wolt, since you mention it, and don't take this the wrong way, but i was doing the two fingered open cmaj7.
just played the bond chord, nice. very penultimate.

recently been practicing my baa chords on the 7th fret [the a shape to get an e] i'm typing slowly.

[wolterix] 25/2/2011 22:03

if you're doing the full blown four fingered version -



then move all your fingers over a string, i.e. the A, D, G and B string, and you've got the 'James Bond' chord... include the two open E strings / notes

E min maj 7

:)

[bamboo2] 25/2/2011 21:48

some chords sound so good.

Cmaj7

is one of my favourites.

And then one I found, a cover of Allen Toussaint's Last Train, covered by Mavis Staples...



imagine this loud in a club, yeah!

[wolterix] 22/2/2011 19:25

yo pop pickers!

I've been going all Ibiza Balearic recently, largely as I've got back in touch with a DJ I used to follow, Steve Proctor - he is the knowledge...

a track he posted recently - Can, I Want More

[merlin55] 21/2/2011 21:19

Prog rock, I like it :-)

[bamboo2] 21/2/2011 10:17

great stuff merlin. just played it to my kids, [half term, post breakfast game of sorry]
would the 3rd almost qualify for prog rock? much prog had great similarities with classical. in fact keith emerson often did 'versions'.

[merlin55] 21/2/2011 07:56

Beethoven

First movement remains one of the most moving pieces of music I've heard.



3rd movement
When I tried to play this as kid, I realsied I was no protege as I couldnt even play the left hand on its own



To relate this to more modern times, the first movemnt is emotion/ballad, the 2nd pop and the 3rd rock.
