dysthymia【爵士課堂】吉他：fj - Guitar Chords n Scales,Bigger PictureGuitar Chords and Scales - The Bigger Picturehttp://www.fretjam.comMost guitarists learn to see chords and scales as separate entities with specific functions - chords lay down the backing progression, scales provide the lead harmony. While this is logical and can sound great, guitarists often lose sight of the intrinsic relationship between chords and scales.This lesson is about taking the first step in visualising chords and scales as the same theoretical element - both function as a means of creating melody and harmony. Scale patterns can be used not only to provide you with a convenient arrangement of tones for your solo, but also to create fresh chord voicings. From this "chord extraction" process, you soon realise that chords are nothing more than a group of harmonising intervals.Instead of always playing the same old block barre chords and scale runs, exploring the concept in this lesson will encourage you to think more carefully about note selection and the flow of harmony through your chord and lead playing.It's not an easy concept to grasp, but I hope this video introduces you to a cool new way of finding fresh chord voicings and helps you blur the line between typical chord and scale function, which can limit your musical freedom.http://www.fretjam.com
