Thanks! As simple as it seems, it's enough information to keep me busy for a while!

Glad it was helpful!

Good stuff, Wayne!

Thx Ben!

Another great video Wayne! This concept can really add color and personality to your bluegrass chop rhythm playing. It opens up the I-IV-V progression and allows you some freedom without interfering with the mandolin’s job as the snare drum. Your lesson opens the door to Jethro Burns style 3 string chords , diminished scales etc.

I appreciate the comment Jack and you're exactly right. This knowledge can open MANY doors. We'll get to them here on the channel in the future.....

Thx for the comment Greg. I'm glad this was a help and I'm sure we'll visit the topic again.....

.......called leading tones or leading chords

[@waynesworldofmandolin3616]

Thx for that input Frank! I'm honestly not sure when to use the term leading chord vs the term passing chord. What is the text book difference 🤔?

[@franksirianni8045]

@@waynesworldofmandolin3616 sorry , I didn't mean to sound like a text book at all just trying to remember my music theory should have put a question mark there....what we hear is way more important than what it's called.....mark sirianni

[@disciple678]

It's too fast and the name of notes in Diminished chord should have been told

[@waynesworldofmandolin3616]

Some folks have had luck slowing the tempo down to 75%, that's an option here on KZbin. Check out my chord scale video for a more in depth look at those intervals as well as hopefully "hearing" the passing chords. Hope this helps......
