6) Finally we look at putting all of those chords into a strumming pattern. (Ex.

notice the interesting chord extensions that are created! (Ex. We then look at a chord scale using the same idea of holding down the D & A. the next exercise is looking a simple strumming pattern and changing between those chords (Ex. 4) where essentially we hold down a D and an A (the R & 5th) this creates an interesting twist on the I IV V. 2) that is built from the triads of the scale, we then look at the I IV V of that chord scale (Ex. We then learn the normal chord scale (Ex. 1) with learning the D major scale from the lowest note in the scale to the highest note within a 5 fret range. Often creating new extensions to chords that you otherwise would of considered dull. this isn't always strictly voice lead but nevertheless it makes an interesting effect on your chord changes. One way to think about this is to keep a note held down in the chord (normally the R or the 5th of the tonic key) whilst you change chords. You can achieve this by moving between chords using the same note or moving up or down by a step in the inner voices of the chord, whenever possible. This is best heard when voice leading occurs when all individual voices move smoothly. The term “voice leading” refers to the way in which individual voices move from chord to chord. Here's a small introduction into the world of voice leading, and specifically voice leading in D Major. I think any guitarist of any ability can learn something from this though. So I've recently been teaching this to my private students and some of the people in the beginners guitar class on my Saturday Folk Music Workshops for Cecil Sharp House.

Good luck! I'll probably make a video about this later next week! Full score PDF is in the downloads bit at the top of this page! Then put a bar of these licks into the arrangement of Diddie Wa Diddie! I've put some examples of licks with alternating bass lines. when that feels good try playing an alternating bass line for all of it. Then once you have that try playing a bass note on 1 and 3 while you play the lick.

Once you have some good licks try playing an alternating bass line for a bar and then 'solo' for a bar - switching between these two mindsets will get you out of the habit of only knowing how to play certain shapes for certain songs. This feels good as it has harmonic stability. To make a good groovy lick try starting your phrase on the off beat 1 + this will mean your colour tones (2 b3 6) will sound good as you'll resolve them to chord tones (R 3 5) on the beat. When that feels good try singing a blues line and then try playing it. Explore the shape of the scale, sing the intervals, play the chord and then sing the scale, sing the root and hold that note while you play the guitar scale, anything to train your ear to hear those intervals. These are very useful scales when you want to sound jazzy and bluesy in that old school ragtime / swing way. It basically teaches you a Major Blues Scale and a Bebop Dominant Scale in the key of C.Ī major blues scale uses the intervals: R 2 b3 3 5 6Ī bebop dominant scale use the intervals: R 2 3 4 5 b b7 7 Here's a little worksheet for you all to look at.
