64Firebird said:The only time I use diminished chords is as a sub for a IV chord in the 2nd bar of a 12 bar Blues. So, it might look like this:
E|---0------0--0--0------------|---5------5--5--5-------------|
B|---5------5--5--5------------|---4------4--4--4-------------|
G|---6------6--6--6------------|---5------5--5--5-------------|
D|---5------5--5--5------------|---4------4--4--4-------------|
A|---0------0--0--0------------|---0------0--0--0-------------|
E|-------------------------------|--------------------------------|
Then repeat the first bar again.
Question: what did you mean by Gm/D9? D9 with Gm root??
I'll try that myself when I get home!A1A2[/i] [b]thanks for correcting me[/b][/quote]I've made that error myself and I still bear the scars from being flamed! ([i]Ouch[/i]) ;) [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by 64Firebird said:Hey BluesMeister, I was fooling around with that last one and just for kicks I played it backwards and it makes a great blues turnaround!
That's precisely what I meant. Apologies for the confusion my fellow fretters You can substitute an Am for that D9 if your fingers won't travel fast enough. Just slide the Gm up two frets.AlChuck said:He must mean two beats of Gm followed by two beats of D9...
It means A augmented, as in augmented 5th, that is the fifth is raised by a semitone:A1A2 said:and A+ is??? not a sharp is it?
dragonworks said:The augumented chord can be named by any of the notes in the chord?
Tom Hicks said:Examples:
How about two keys a tritone apart?Normally not considered for modulation because of the inherant dissonance of the interval.
c major- f dim - f# major
How about a half step modulation up?
c major - c dim - c# major
Get it?Use the dim chord 1/2 step below the target chord as a leading tone.
Here's a gospel progression:
C major - Eb major - F major - F# dim
C major - A minor - D minor - G+
