Re: [TGC] Re: EVERY Chord and Scale for guitar- LITERALLY!!
Mister Deedge, you're too kind.
Just by the way, did I mention that there's a book that actually defines every chord and scale (within certain very sensible limits that the book spells out)? It's called The Scale-Chord Synopticon by Kathlyn Powell and John Fowler. You can find it on Amazon dot com. If you can grok that book, it becomes a small matter to transfer the information to guitar.
"The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where pimps and thieves run free and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side." --- Hunter S. Thompson

I was once on a gig where,during a fairly up-tempo song (I was seeing it for the first time) I encountered a chord , lasting only two bars that read: C (bb maj7) And while theoretically correct,the MD could have gotten a smoother performance by using the enharmonic ( Bb maj7).So who benifitted by this staunch adherence to theoretical correctness? No one. This was a GUITAR CHORD CHART....not a 17-stave score...and I personally feel the "speed bump" was nothing more than ego fodder for the author. So I must agree Doug..(or should I say Moses ?).Hopefully,now that yuo've parted the red sea,we can all pass through easily enough to enjoy the journey we all signed up for......learning music!!!! deedge >

That could take a while. I'll try to be brief. Email me back if you want to know more. Chords are built by stacking thirds. For example, the key of C Major has...

Whatever dude. I thought I was being reasonable - not rude. Didn't appreciate your comments. And we weren't discussing scales outside of the western 12-tone,...
I have a degree! If you stick a "whatever" root in there it will change the chord. Misnaming a chord IS bad communication! "Jim K." <jkernix@...> wrote:...

Inverting a chord is not the same as making it minor. When you invert, you take the basic stacked triads (for example) and put the root on top for a 1st...
