Wierd stuff

Post by HalfBlindLefty »

Been noodling with a couple of chords today. To remember what I was playing I recorded a sequence of them.

oke, the chords. The first two (sequence) repeat 4 times, then I start with the C and work my way through the mutations on that chord, they may have names, but I don't now them out the top of my head.

Code: Select all

D7  C 

x---x  
6---5
5---5
7---5
5---3
x---x

C   ?   ?   ?
x---x---x---x
5---3---3---3
5---5---5---5
5---4---3---2
3---x---x---x
x---x---x---x
I had fun jamming over the pattern, didn't record a lead yet, something is still missing.
Mhh I started recording clean with the Epiphone but felt that was to jazzy for my tast so I used Josie with a bit of drive to spice it up a bit.

Not a bad idea at all to have chords that sound right in a progression but without knowing what they are. If it leads to a piece of music that is a bit different all the better! :thumbsup:

The root of my fun in altered tuning acoustic guitar improvs is getting away from playing chords I know the names of :big_smile: - it means there's at least a little bit of originality and it's not locked in the strait jacket of a standard progression.

According to a little program I have on the PC those 3 chords of yours might be D9, F6 and CAdd2. Makes sense in fitting in with your D and C chords.
An improv a day keeps the demons at bay!

A bit strange, but good!
When strumming, how to you manage the timing? Feet tapping, metronome or nothing at all?

Thanks VB,

It works miracles when you are tending to fall back on a too familiar chord sequence time after time. Believe me :)
I have to admid, I like non standard open tunings sounds, but I don't have the patience to learn to much about playing leads in them. :shy:

Gerd, I don't try to keep timing in another way than having my hand making constand moves and only pick or strum when needed.
tapping my foot won't work longer than 1 minute or so, after that my muscles start to complain.
