Okay so something more like this? 5 grips
3x34xx
X5546x
8x58xx
10x9 10xx (G7 at 10th fret)
13 x 12 12 12 x
Also, why can’t you invert 4 note chords?

He was referring to arpeggios.

EDIT … he’s talking about arpeggios. So he didn’t mean that you can’t invert a four note chord. Just that there can only be four inversions. It’s an arpeggio so the fifth fingering has the same low note as one of the others, just from a different finger.

What I do regularly, is using MuseScore, I transpose a lick to a transposed key or interval.
Then I play along to this lick by ear on a repeat loop, without reading the notation.
I then transpose the lick to another transposed key or interval and repeat the process.
I was doing this in morning practice, I didn't really think about it, it's not all keys, it's randomly chosen keys.
Using these MuseScore options:

Yes but because they are one note at a time, there are generally more practical ways to play them. Originally Posted by AllanAllen

That's a good distinction. Originally Posted by AllanAllen

2. There is a melody happening within the comping, mostly heard as the top note, but everything is voice led nicely.
3. There are half step moves, tritone subs and alterations/extensions on the basic chords.
4. The turnaround starts Eb^9 to Ab13, which is not plain vanilla, but sounds great.
5. And, it's all got good time feel.

I couldn’t help but sing the lyrics along to the Latin one. I’m surprised how fast it sounds, but you’re still at ballad tempo. Really great, especially having a direct shot of your fingers. I’m going to dig into it tomorrow.
Reg if you want to do another I’d love to see Moonglow or St. Thomas.

I guess this is proof that I’m trying the things you talk about. I appreciate help. Originally Posted by Reg

I don't hear the song in what he's playing.

Ah I hear little bits and pieces but it’s definitely a vibe. Fun to hear a wide variety of folks play a song you’re learning though Originally Posted by AllanAllen

I listened again, with the volume on from the start where he hits a few melody notes.
I wonder how hes making that synth chord sound, I thought it was a backing track the first time, but I can see him hitting the chords.
He breaks up the solo a lot to hit all the chords, and the solo doesn't sound jagged because of that.
Is this CST playing? Like, is this what people are talking about?
-
He uses a combination of an octave splitter and a freeze pedal. Or used to. So he can play a chord and have the bass note dropped the octave to sound super full and then freeze the chord so it hangs over the next line. Originally Posted by AllanAllen
As for the CST stuff that’s hard to say. Maybe? Honestly chord scale theory is more of a process so it’s hard to tell from the end result. He definitely uses lots of extended harmonies and stuff though so the changes can sound pretty wild sometimes

I gave it a whirl just now. Just playing rhythm accompaniment.

I'm noticing unlike you and Reg, I'm strumming like a metronome and you guys are waaaay more free. Very nice sounding grips.

Very true, but I'm legit trying to play a ballad and it's still CHUNK CHUNK CHUNK CHUNK Originally Posted by mr. beaumont

Also worth mentioning that you weren’t playing along with a track. When there’s nothing else giving time, your instinct will generally be to give the time. Which is a good instinct. Originally Posted by mr. beaumont

You won’t hear me sing it though

Ballads are tough, but you're really close man. Closer than I am to the right feel, which I hear is more important than the chords. Originally Posted by pawlowski6132
