![]() So a G major chord is a triad made up of the notes G, B, and D. Now we need the third degree (B) and the fifth degree (D). To build a G major, we start with the root note, or the first degree of the scale. We can build this chord using the G major scale: So we’ll look at one of the first guitar chords every new guitar player learns (along with the C major chord): G major. This is easier to understand if we look at an example. The terms “third” and “fifth” indicate what degree each note is on a scale. A major chord is made up of a root note, a major third, and a perfect fifth. ![]() The relationship between the different notes determines what kind of chord is being played. Many basic, fundamental chords are triads, meaning they are made up of three notes. But the way you play piano chords and guitar chords is different. Essentially, if you play the same chord on guitar and piano, the chord will sound the same. And since music is a universal language, you can play the same notes and chords on both piano and guitar.

Just started teaching again last week after a 3 year hiatus. there are many different ways to play the same chord. generally you will comp twice a measureĢ. The exercise he is doing teaches two things.ġ. A good pianist will listen to what extensions and rhythms are being used by the soloist and "cater" his comping to be directly supportive of it. In progressive jazz pianists tend to substitute or borrow chords from other keys, add extensions and use very wide "airy" chord voicings-while in swing and bop comping is usually more sporadic and very rhythmic. Since the soloist may or may not outline the chord progression it is up to the pianist and the guitarist to interject missing tones-such as the 3rd and the 7th into the mix so that the song still sounds somewhat logical and the chord progression can be followed. The chord symbols written on top of the treble clef-be they guitar grids or letters are put there for this purpose. ![]() Quote from: indianajo on September 16, 2015, 04:38:31 PM Please, here is a request for a free lesson not involving video.Ĭomping is "complimenting" the soloist or the band. The Ellington specialist who moved here from NYC he was recorded on TV in 1980, he is probably deceased. The lady he played with on television, whose style I like, she lives LA now.

In a year I could transcribe the Roger Williams arrangement off the LP, then learn it, but that style has been done already. I'd like to do something modern to Autumn Leaves, which I worked out the chords to, but am a bit clueless. I play Take the A-train too, but a worked out arrangement from Hanson House. That is not available in my price range at this time. What is he HappyH doing? playing two inversions of the same chord in one measure? Is that what comping is?įirefox reports my version of shockwave will be hacked and blocks it The new version I downloaded from adobe won't install.Ī whole new operating system, reports I need to buy a newer computer. ![]() Please, here is a request for a free lesson not involving video. ![]()
