Members Virgman Posted November 30, 2007 Members Posted November 30, 2007 How many of you use rootless chord voicings? I use them quite a bit when comping.
Members Edmond Zedo Posted November 30, 2007 Members Posted November 30, 2007 All the time, but not intentionally.
Moderators Jed Posted December 1, 2007 Moderators Posted December 1, 2007 How many of you use rootless chord voicings?I use them quite a bit when comping. more and more each day . . . also more often using inversions than rootless per se to explore interesting bass lines.
Members Dubb Posted December 1, 2007 Members Posted December 1, 2007 Not very often on guitar, more often on piano. They're not incredibly common in the music I play.
Mark Wein Posted December 1, 2007 Posted December 1, 2007 If I am playing with a bassist, all the time...with him outlining the harmony I am free to play more "color"... When I write for my rock band I try to do the opposite, and I'll play a simple triad or power chord and have the bass invert the chord almost like he is the left hand on the Piano....
Members Terje Posted December 3, 2007 Members Posted December 3, 2007 All the time, literally. With only three strings on my balalajka something has to go as soon as anything is added to the basic triad, the root is a prime candidate, or the 5th, or both if there is another note that sounds nice too. I play a lot of two note vocings also. Many of my chords look the same so to speak.
Members blumonk Posted December 3, 2007 Members Posted December 3, 2007 solo, yes - you use emwith a band, no - you got a bass player or pianist to play the bassnotes
