@@curiousguitarist well I think the reason it's hard to play like that is a guitar doesn't sound 'full' unless you're playing on all six strings, playing triads and diads sliding around doesn't sound that good unaccompanied. As a result guitarists like to impersonate Hendrix or Curtis Mayfield who would hit the bass at the beginning of a bar and ornament on the top strings. That's a great style but in a band with lots of instruments like Booker T and the crew, Cropper style works better. Iirc Keith Richards doesn't even have the low string on his guitar.

Chris, I appreciate you giving an example of using triads with songs other than ones most guitar teachers usually pick using the typical 1-4-5 changes with Dock on the bay. However, like you said this is not really a song with diatonic changes. I got a challenge for you because I haven’t seen anyone do this. How about showing us how you would use voice leading techniques with triads with the use of guide tones & chord tone soloing where available with a good slower song that goes thru all the 6 diatonic major and minor changes. I’ll let you pick one. Here are a couple examples. 1) Brad Paisleys, I come to the garden. kzbin.info/www/bejne/on7Cn3iQl658icU , 2) Blake Shelton, Home. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZzShWSkj7SYrrs 3)Boston’s, Amanda m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/imLXYmuFl9N9bcU , 4) Kiss, Beth. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZe1eZyGZ6yrrcU , 5) Beatles , Blackbird m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5LRZYutbb2sptE ,6) B J Thomas, Raindrops keep falling on my head m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5LRZYutbb2sptE , 7) Billy Joel, Just the way you are. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpKkZIyQa7aXgLc I’ve not seen anyone skillfully break a six chord diatonic progression down on KZbin and explain the method they would use for chord tone soloing using voice leading, guide tones and tension and release in a melodic fashion to highlight the chord changes. Maybe you can be the first to show a song. I figure if someone could show a six chord example, they have the ability to take on any song. You up to the challenge?

Voice leading is any harmonic movement related to the last note...so yeah, even if a note stays the same, it’s “function” changes under the new chord. I have a video on pedal tones planned already, but I’ll plan one for voice leading as well!!

I’m fascinated by the concept that the string the root note is on dictates the shape of the chord. Have you done a lesson on that?

Not only that, but the finger you use to play the root does as well :)

I’m writing it right now :) I’ll have a free primer, a full theory book and a lead guitar toolbox type of book all available this year. When I get that all set up I’ll let everybody know here on the channel. Thanks for asking!
