The Interesting Chord Voicings Thread.

[HazeFX]

I dig Dustin Kensrue's chord voicings on the Beggars album, he tends to play Am like so
-0-
-0-
-5-
-7-
-7-
-0-
really interesting way of looking at it.

[Brambulance]

I like this one, it's essentially a combination of a Eminor and a Dmaj. Emin9add11 --2-- --3-- --2-- --5-- --2-- --0--

 

 

 

thats a tough way to look at it... How about Bmin7/E ?

[pbone]

Right now I'm into quartal voicings the most, which are chords built on fourths instead of thirds.

 

try this:

 

-5-

-6-

-5-

-5-

-5-

-x-

 

It's a Dm7 quartal voicing. I've been learning them all up and down the neck, they kind of {censored}ing rule.

Dave Liebman wrote a book on this that's kind of a head{censored}.

Great thread.

I've always liked this C#m:

--0--
--0--
--6--
--6--
--4--
--x--

or play an open A string for a cool Amaj7sus2(?) voicing.

also E barre shapes with an open B and E:

--0--
--0--
--6--
--7--
--7--
--5--

...works in several positions.

This is a Jimmy Page Amin add9 from "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You":

--0--
--0--
--5--
--7--
--0--
--x--

what

 

 

kings of convenience = a band

 

i believe it's just an inversion of Bb with an E in there

Yeah I know who they are, but I just never heard them play that. It's in first inversion, but it doubles the D and F, and puts the E right below the F on the second string. Major dissonance.

what are these called

[Coma Larkin]

Which one? I have A Chromatic Approach To Jazz Harmony, but that's it. I think that's the book I'm going to spend the most amount of time working on next.

 

 

Pretty sure it's that book. I never actually owned it but a buddy had it and I perused through it until space started folding in on itself and I had to stop.
