McCoy Tyner Chords for Guitar "Modal Voicings"

BECOME A PATRON → bit.ly/2tqdPLG
In this episode I am discussing Modal or "McCoy Tyner" Voicings for the Guitar. These are chords built in compound 4ths and moved diatonically through the modal scale. They are best used on guitar in sets of 3 or 4 stacked 4th intervals. They can also be used in single notes lines.

your videos are the essence of generosity, and are very much appreciated! ignore the smelly trolls out there, there are WAY more of us than them.

[@dvdgdia9295]

I'm a bass player, but have found your videos informative and inspiring. Thank you for being so giving of your time, knowledge and experience.

[@larilaitinen9135]

I love you... Im very depressed but you give me purpose throught your videos since you give me various intresting things to practise, thank you so much, very kind of you to share all this stuff for free!

[@TheBlueCream]

sorry u are depressed..i suffer it too n Rick cheers me as well !...he's a wonderful man.

[@gptmotoring9668]

i have neuropathy, i can't learn new guitar chops, too much pain....but i still love watching for the vicarious experience, thanks

[@johnnyh64]

I’m so sorry to hear this. That would be a devastating issue for many musicians including myself. I hope you have found some peace about it and I wish you well.

[@AlexVonCrank]

Yet another harmony masterclass by Rick "the wizard" Beato! Listen up kids 'cuz Rick is hipping us to the cool shit!!!

[@bartscrivener4634]

Rick, I can't tell you how many times I've done this with 4ths and have never seen anyone else do it until YOU !! hehe. 4ths can be so much fun and weirdly spacial, leaving you feeling unresolved and hanging, a kind of weird limbo, despite being completely tonal. Nice one, Bro !! As always, thankyou for sharing !!

[@jobemusic2770]

Your old videos are so densely packed with wonderful insights! Thank you so much for sharing :)

[@GlennMichaelThompson]

This is a great introduction to stacked 4th voicings, particularly in this modal approach. I also like the sound of triads in 4ths and especially their inversions for creating more tension in comping or single note lines. Thanks a lot Rick; your videos are helping me find some directions to look into and giving me reasons to practice again. I'd been having some difficulty in what to do as a musician in the last year (2016). Your videos have been extremely encouraging... and talk about prolific!!! I'll need to buy your book as soon as I can. (times are really tight at the moment) Best regards from Montreal! -Glenn

[@Mr_Lightheart]

Thanks and please don't stop. I'm enjoying your lessons very much.

[@Oscar-bv5fe]

Rick you're such a generous guy, a great teacher and an inspiring musician. Thanks for all the lessons, stories and insights. Having never been to music school or even taken much basic music instruction, you've been so valuable for my development. Don't sweat the trolls, you have to pity them really, all the wonderful things you can do with time in this life and they choose to do that...

[@davidlloyd9598]

Your videos are great. Thank you. I'm glad you mentioned Holdsworth. He used fourths a lot in his playing too for a very open unresolving sound.

[@LisaBellaDonnaMusic]

Love your videos Rick!!! Thanks for all you do!

[@Capravision]

These videos are incredible. Thanks Rick!

[@MadaniZakri]

Many thanks, i'm digging this modal idea lately this helped

[@DarylHuffman-ob6vl]

I got this information years ago out of a Ted Green book called Cord chemistry and he essentially has these voicings for each note in the Do-Re-Mi fa so la ti do scale so you can play melodies with it I stumbled on how to use it a year or so after I learned it cuz he didn't explain how to use it he just said if you take this g13 with the 9 on the top 7th on bottom and take it up diatonically you get these chords. I was playing with it one day and I played part of the melody to when you wish on a Star and I didn't instantly recognize what the melody was I had to figure what where does that come from and once I figured it out then I thought we'll let me try to do the whole song and you can do any song it's a wonderful thing wonderful absolutely wonderful

[@8MinuteAxe]

These are amazing voicings how did I miss this. Fun to watch an old school video.

[@jamesmcneil4063]

Great class I will study this, thanks for all that you do. Keep up the good work.

[@user-uo8yh9tb8g]

Thanks for all your many great youtube vids Rick, you really are doing some of the best quality work in this direction(MUSIC) and quite a player on at least a few instruments I see too--

[@emrysbaird1013]

Fantastic lesson thanks so much you are a great teacher and player!

[@jakemf1]

Never thought those voicings sounded anything like they do on piano. The hallow sound on piano where the primary chord is obscured is so hip.

[@Giaco54]

great stuff Rick and i applaud your patience for all the background nonsense - alot of good content - thanks for all you

[@mb19512002]

Funny thing about "Quartal " voicings, they can be used in sooooo many ways. I first heard of them with the "Trane" and McCoy Tyner late 60/early 70's? on "my favorite things " They are so versatile in the right situations ! Soooo many uses ! Thanks for bringing it up, it can really "spice up" so many progressions ! Thanks for you're lessons ! I watch and learn from every one of them !

[@grantsamu]

This is great stuff, man. Thank you!

[@waynevicknair]

excellent video. these are concepts that i really need to master. thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. i'm a new subscriber to your channel, and i've enjoyed every video i've watched. thanks again.

[@batlin]

Loving this sound!

[@j6449663]

Thanks for all you do .

[@picksalot1]

Wow, that was great Rick! This is one of my favorite videos to date. Easy to understand and immediately useful. Thanks. I've go my synth set up now so I can hold a chord/pad in the background like you using a sustain pedal - it really helps working out leads, and modal playing, etc. on the guitar. Those spammers and trolls need to be spanked.

[@TheBlueCream]

gr8 stuff, RICK..THX AGAIN !

[@thrashingpanic]

It was very interesting. I'm not getting this right now but i'll be back. For now it made me interested and that is the first step to learn. Also this Danelectro sounds so unique. Very nice.

[@paulbangash4317]

Wish I had your videos as a youngster !! Good stuff Rick 👍

[@Chingu-nm6wp]

Just want to say thank you. Im still working through th Theory Every Pro Musician Should Know.

[@Niberu17]

Thank you Rick

[@necasperaterrent2097]

Really cool lesson! Shame how it had to end . But please keeps the great videos coming

[@billsims4949]

Rick, your vids are so interesting. You are a treasure. Did a P4 tuning on my axe a few yrs ago n seldom go back to standard. With quartal harmony its very helpful reducing the number of voicings one hs to learn. Three to 6 note voicings can be accomplished w litte effort n sound great. Ive heard them called "adult" chord voicings! They sound nice when used exclusively for awhile or mixed w tertiary harmony n used as subs.

[@tomatik4032]

Hey rick, great videos. I learned this concept from one of Tyner's violinists! I was hoping one of these days you could expand on the "conversion to minor" concept that Martino talks about and show it on some tunes. Also could you tackle the Lydian chromatic concept sometime if you know anything about that?

[@citizensnips2348]

This reminds me of Eric Johnson, definitely hearing the intro to Cliffs of Dover.

[@Jazzman_14]

more great video

[@JariSatta]

(( How awesome would it be to compose an entire JazZ instrumental piece within a range of one octave (?) Each instrument would have its own appointed range but would never play outside of its octave. )) Relearning some JazZ standards within a narrow voicing/range would be a great challenge too.

[@PabloAlejandroMusic]

Can you make a video of those modal Chords like Cmaj7b5(lydian) or Cm7b6 (aeolian)...?

[@gianlucarobustelli6981]

great video, could you make one about Bill Evans chords translated for guitar?

[@ShirshakRajKunwar]

George Russell and the Lydian Chromatic Concept

[@jleber]

Similar to Steve Khan’s Contemporary Chord Khancepts

[@mouh36]

Al Paccino masterclass : )

[@timelwell7002]

Great stuff Rick. What about playing 'outside?' (As McCoy Tyner so often did). I agree with other comments, BTW - ignore the trolls.

[@k.padraigokane1472]

Charlie Banacos is THE man for the whole enclosure thing!

[@jakemf1]

The first thing he had many playees do along with those ear training excersises!

[@JoshClarkson]

Some days you wake up, see a new video title and just think "YES!".....well, I do anyway.

[@jazznkoalas491]

Great topic and video Rick. Just a quick question, you have any points on jazz fingerstyle(or fingerstyle in general)? And solo jazz guitar as well.

[@RickBeato]

It's important to be able to play fingerstyle if you are a jazz guitarist. It opens up the possibility of playing contrapuntally which is difficult to do by using just a pick. I would say learn some classical guitar pieces to practice it.

[@jazznkoalas491]

Many thanks.

[@stevemartin4249]

Amen to Jake! I love how his solo chord melody style is a band in itself.

[@ejRecording]

reminds me of sting "something the boy said" or some song

[@jackiechon5625]

love the way your lines go on seven chord , very natural things , remind me of joe pass .

[@rambomhtri]

Hello Rick I have a question about someone with absolute pitch. How high or low (frequency) can the pitch go in order for them to know the note? In other words, if they hear 440Hz, they say A. What if they hear 22000Hz? Or 55Hz? Both of them are A as well. Oh, and another question, what if you tune your A to 430Hz? Will they be able to adapt to the new tuning or they get confused? In other words, how accurate must a note be for them to get it right? Thank you

[@andrewmacinnes7723]

very informative on many levels. thank you so much for this. Don't mind the trolls.

[@jimwinters3986]

Something on Walter Bishop Jr's use of fourths would be great.

[@a1guitarmaker]

Lot's of clipping in this video? Especially the guitar? I kept thinking my gain staging was wrong, but it seems to be recorded that way. Anyway, Rick, great topic and useful approaches.

[@jrestrepo08]

Hey Rick, regarding to the chat issue. You might want to look into Superchat for KZbin. I just heard about it today. Thanks for the video :)

[@sethcahn1931]

Off topic wondering: How do you have that Danelectro amplified? Such a beautiful, nearly acoustic sound you get out of it (even through my computer's cheesy little speakers)...

[@RickBeato]

+Seth Cahn I have a small Vox AC15 that I'm playing through. I'm not sure why it sounds so good but it does haha! It was only $200.

[@AXPena]

What a bummer about the trolls! Thank you for enduring. Hopefully, you can figure what the best way to deal with them is for future live streams. The comment section helps to dictate the videos and can be useful. Unfortunately, there are some losers out there have nothing better to do but waste people's time.

[@NotRightMusic]

Some great ideas here for modal voicings. I must rewatch again when I'm with my guitar. Too bad it ended too soon. Some reading for you.

[@kentcrawley]

Sounding of with Jens Larson?

[@jivanbansi9640]

Does Mr. Beato use a Freeze guitar pedal to keep the keyboard sustaining?

[@RickBeato]

The sustain pedal I'm holding down with my left foot :)

[@jivanbansi9640]

Thanks from Canada, I'm telling all my musical friends you're the best!

[@keeperodafunk]

aaaaah, just discovered one can add managers or communication managers 2 your settings. test stream anyone?

[@stevengregory3991]

i practice new voices, every day. if mother tell: dont mutilate voices. but the guitar can be like that, so then, idea has life! i show him the great sir rick and magic boy dillant. mother experiences the extractions and now its said i can practice every time.

[@evinobrien]

"3:10" should say C F* Bb E

[@analyticequals]

Kreisberg

[@RasmusHaxholm]

Swell playing man. Huge fan of your dynamics. Thumbs up on this video. Subbed for more. If you have the time, take a look at a video or two on my channel? ;)

[@chriscurtis8344]

Hi Rick Beato! You might have to swipe the comments away as you share so you won't see them.

[@m0j0b0ne]

Holowbody sound from a Masonite guitar? Yes, indeedy!

[@ParsevalMusic]

How can one be a troll of a music theory channel?!? Not, seriously!?! That sounds hilarious to me..really.. things like 'I hate you so much 'cause you flattened the 5th'...!!! :///

[@janders3205]

More like; what don’t you play on a dominant 7th chord!

[@fleet4fingers]

It's not fourths if you have a third in it.

[@mvb5592]

Uh, you mean C F? Bb E? There's no way you're playing a G and Bb simultaneously on the third string.

[@AndalusianIrish]

In my opinion these sound less jarring on the piano. I don’t know why.

[@reyesplace1096]

Kinda arbitrary, eh
