We will cover:

• Understanding chords• Left and right hand rhythm• Melodic ideas and fills• Different styles and patterns

Chords based playing

• First things first - get to know different keys• TTS (T) TTS

• Chords are based on scale notes• Understand major and minor chords

The Nashville System

• Re numbering a chord chart – number notes in the key 1-7

• Just think alphabet!– One of each letter name– Never mix sharps and flats

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 1 Bb C D Eb F G A Bb

Chord voicing

• Voicing is the order in which you play notes• If the bass note is right you can play the

other notes in any order• 3 ways to play any major or minor chord

Chord voicing

• Aim for smooth voice leading.• Economy of movement

Chord voicing

• Use notes 1, 2 & 5 in the key to create a pedal point

• Vary this whe necessary using the 7th note of the key

• Play with sus2 and add9 (note 2 in the scale)

Rhythm

• Keep it simple - 1/4 notes often best• Try 1/8 notes (and occasionally 1/16 notes)• 2 rhythms to be aware of:

Melody

• Melodic parts add interest• Be careful and sparing• Use chord notes, passing notes, auxiliary

notes• Approach your destination by step (or from

another chord note)• Make good use of the 3rd-4th and 7th-8th

notes in the key (the semitones)• Don’t cut across others in the band

More chords

• Sus chords

More chords

• 7th chords - 4 types!• 7, m7, maj7 and maj-min7!• ‘Dominant’ 7th important because of the pull

towards chord 1:

More chords

• Be careful with all 7ths in major chords - they always change the sound

• You can nearly always use a 7th in a minor chord (particularly in a major key) - it simply makes the sound richer

More chords

• Added note chords are based around counting up a scale from the root note:

Conclusion

• Just because you can doesn’t mean you should!

• Keep it simple• BUT be creative where you can• Always try to support the sound and meaning

of the song
