Guitar III and Guitar IV 5th night Spring 2004 • Have fun learning new songs, techniques etc. on the guitar • Increase your technical skills on guitar • Increase your ability to play with others • Introduction to performers that influenced guitar development • Develop ear training and music theory as applied to the guitar.
Chord Simplification • This is easier than you might think. For example, you can always add in a 9th, 11th or 13th to a chord type. If you had a CMaj7 you could change it to CMaj13 as an example. You just have to keep in the same chord type. • To simplify works the same way, only change any number (other than a 6) to a 7 and if that is still too hard drop any number. Just be sure to keep the same chord type (major, minor, dominant (7), diminished or augmented.

E Form Major Scales G A B C D E F# G A B C D E F# G F# 3 E D C B A G F# E D C B A G Say the names of the notes while you play them. Yet another way to learn the names of the notes. We will do this very slow at first!! This is the scale form that you should start with. It is the easiest of the patterns to Finger. It falls totally into one position and does not have a stretch outside that Position. The next form you should work on is the A form. Then the C, G and Lastly the D form.
Do That’ll Be The Day from book page 284 • For Guitar IV work on the introduction and maybe the solo. • Note that this is a shuffle feel. Triplets with middle one as a rest. • Also try Whiter Shade of Pale page 320. Try the melody line. This song has a descending baseline
Perfect example of why you need to do barre chords. The F#m must be done as a barre.
Blackbird Moving Lines With Pedal Point
Another song. Do this as barre in the E Form. This whole song is in the Key of Am but can be related to as C major. The Am is a VI chord, G is a V chord, F is a IV chord. If we did it as Am then Am is a I chord, G is a VII chord, F is a VI chord. But there are some issues with this. Scale to solo is an A natural minor or also called an A Aeolean mode. To change a major to minor in an E form Just lift the 2nd finger. Am will be at the 5th fret, G major at the 3rd fret and F major at the 1st fret. If you can’t do the Barre chords at this time that is fine just play the regular chords. This song is in 4/4 time and each chord gets 2 beats.
E can be E7. Actually a better choice.

Walk Don’t Run Study in A Aeolian – Old Time Rock Instrumental
Start With The Chords • The progression is as follows: 4/4 ||: Am G | F E7 : || Best to do as E form of Barre Chords (6th string root).
Start with learning these chords. Main chords in the song and the part of the introduction. A bass line is in the music.
A 2nd guitarist would play this. These are only the root and the 5th of each of the chords. Really just a simple power chord. This is played 2 times during the intro. If you have an electric guitar turn the reverb up on this (all the guitars used reverb on this). In any case palm mute the notes. Do that by placing your picking hand palm lightly on the bridge so that just a small part of your hand touches the strings right at the bridge nut.
