Found out the song he was playing was this Gimme Shelter by the stones;
http://www.totalsheetmusic.com/Gimme-Shelter-P1163662.aspx So the first chord I would play around D# minor pentatonic and switch to C# minor pentatonic for the next chords? How come this works, is it because the two keys share the B chord, so it's pivoting on that chord? Just trying to understand. |

You could call it either depending on the bass note. If there is no basa player then I would probably go with Em since that's a more common chord.

Cool, check out these two licks, they will both work over your key to get you going. Let me know how these turn out for you.

Hey Prof
Every now and again I find my self in awe of the sweet changes by gospel style pianists. I know some of the theory behind the basics of substitutions Tritone Sub, parallel major/minor, approaching from a semitone above below or a 5th etc. If I can find some good examples could we discuss the thinking behind them, so I could start encorporating them in my own compostions? -------------------- My SoundCloud

Great question! Here is a cool Gospel Blues form to check out in the mean time. Can you analyze this to start? A7/D7 Dm7 G7/A7/A7 D7/Dm7 G7/A7 Ab7/G7 F#7/ Bm7/E7#9/A7 F#7/Bm7 E7#9/ Ok here goes my analysis I7/IV7 iv7 G7/I7/I7 So we have an A blues with the Iv7 leading to it's parallel minor the G7 is throwing me a little I can hear it being used as a substitute for the v7 chord as it resolves nicely to the A7, but in terms of music theory I don't know why. G7 - GBDF E7 - EG#BD we have to common notes and two notes a half step away. On further thought and looking at it coming from the Dm7 (the iv7 of Am) rather than it going to the A7 , it is the VII7 of Am. D7/Dm7 G7/A7 Ab7/G7 F#7/ This line is more of the same but with a Chromatic walkdown to the VI7 F#7 - F# C# Bb E This gives us a common note to BM7 on the next line and a couple a half step away which help to move to it Bm7/E7#9/A7 F#7/Bm7 E7#9/ ii /Vi/i Vi7/ii7 V Here we have the classic 251 progression and again the VI7 which leads nicely back to the ii7 to the V7 ready to start again on the I7 The E7#9 (the hendrix chord is just adding a nice dissonant extention) This post has been edited by PosterBoy: Oct 31 2013, 11:32 AM -------------------- My SoundCloud

On the same subject of the gospel progressions etc I found this interesting tool
http://www.chordsoncards.com/main.sc Mainly for piano but they have brought out a set of cards for guitar It looks like you choose your key and then can find chord ideas based on your melody/top note or by bass note Maybe a nice way to get an interesting progression and then work out why it works -------------------- My SoundCloud
