Members thamiam Posted November 13, 2002 Members Share Posted November 13, 2002 Here is one scale you should know. It may seem obvious, but suprisingly a lot of people don't know it. E:1-3-5-6-8-10-12-13B:------------------------G:------------------------D:------------------------A:------------------------E:------------------------Major scale, one string. Play it on evey string to see, feel and hear the intervals. E:1-4-6-7-8-11-13B:--------------------G:--------------------D:--------------------A:--------------------E:-------------------- Blues scale. Again play it on every string. One string soloing may sound like a simple idea, but I guarantee it will make you sound different from a lot of other soloists who stick to position playing in a 'box' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ollenorin Posted November 13, 2002 Author Members Share Posted November 13, 2002 so its 1-3-5-6 etc on all strings ? Can I switch between strings or is it just a onestringthing ?

Members thamiam Posted November 13, 2002 Members Share Posted November 13, 2002 The pattern is the same on all strings, and it will always give a major (or blues) scale. The only thing that will change is the name of the scale. E: F Major (or Blues) ScaleB: C Major (or Blues) ScaleG: Ab Major (or Blues) ScaleD: Eb Major (or Blues) ScaleA: Bb Major (or Blues) ScaleE: F Major (or Blues) Scale And, if you add one to all numbers, it will still be a major (or blues) scale, only the name will go up one note chromatically. i.e. F-F# C-C# Ab-A, etc...Until you run out of frets, of course. At which point you start playing across the fretboard instead of up and down it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ollenorin Posted November 13, 2002 Author Members Share Posted November 13, 2002 I just tried that thing with a little fuzz, my minimarshall, my jaguar....IT ROCKED !!!! damn cool ! Just playing like on all strings at 5th and 6th fret in various order it sounded way cooler than my normal sort of soloing. Thank you very much man !!!! you dont know how happy I am right now+how much this will help me. Can you give me some 5-10 new chords as well ? / OLLE :D :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fred5 Posted November 13, 2002 Members Share Posted November 13, 2002 The tab you posted gives you these notes: E,G,A,B and D. That's the E Minor Pentatonic scale. Penta means five, btw. If you add the G# you'll have what is called the blues scale. E:---------------------- B:---------------------- G:---------------------- D:---------0-2----------- A:-----0-1-2--------------- E:-0-3------------------ That's the lower octave in the first position of the blues scale in E. Next, I'd learn the dorian scale. Here it is in the key of A: ----------------------------5-7-8 -----------------------5-7-8-- -----------------4-5-7------- -----------4-5-7------------- -------5-7------------------- -5-7-8----------------------- Remember that this is just one possible way of fretting those notes. Check out these three scales in one key, same position. You'll notice that the notes of the pentatonic scale are common to all three. One can view the other notes; the flatted fifth from the blues scale (D# if you're in A) and the B and F# from the dorian scale as expansions of the minor pentatonic scale. I believe it's important to understand these relations. Rather than me just cutting and pasting tons of tabs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fred5 Posted November 14, 2002 Members Share Posted November 14, 2002 There's the Add9 chords, their greatness lies inthe fact that they are neither major or minor, since they lack the so-called third. A add9 -----------------------------2--------------2---------------------------x-------------- D add9 in open position ----------------3-------------2---------------------------x--------------x-------------- Note that all strings, fingered this way,are inside the given chords. So they are playable but they alter they way it soundssince the keynote won't be on the bottom,so to speak. D add9 in another position, this is a barre: -5--------------5----------------7--------------7------------5-------------x-------------- These chords can all me played with this fretting, theoretically speaking they are the same as the ones showed above although they don't sound exactly the same. D add9 x-----------------x-----------------x----------------------14---------------12---------------10---------------- Crazy ppl might fret it like this, pinkie on thelow E string: ---------------------------------------9--------------7-------------------------------10--------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members thamiam Posted November 14, 2002 Members Share Posted November 14, 2002 Here's one chord you might want to try.(Fret) |(Note)|(Finger)E:----X----|B:----5----|(E) |(3)G:----6----|(C#) |(4)D:----4----|(F#) |(1)A:----X----|E:----5----|(A) |(2) A Major 6th This is a good chord to use at the end of a verse, instead of just playing an A Major. It sounds very 'settled' (a good 'release chord') but also has a little bit more color. And it is completely moveable, so slide it up and down the neck as ya please.

Members SAF_Jon Posted November 14, 2002 Members Share Posted November 14, 2002 Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought, theoretically speaking, an add9 chord always had the 7th. If the chord doesn't have the 3rd, but contains the 2nd, then it is a add2 chord (sometimes written 'sus2'). And they don't necessarily lack the 3rd. An add2 chord, like a 6th can have the 3rd present, or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An add2 chord, like a 6th can have the 3rd present, or not. Strictly, a ninth chord requires a seventh to function, and since the seventh requires the third to function, the ninth also requires the third to function. But an add9 is something different, I think. I would say that the 'add' is referring that the ninth is merely an added tone, but that the chord is not strictly a ninth chord. In this case, I think it is largely irrelevant whether you label it add2 or add9, since their function is identical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
