Advanced chords lesson
Woho, Time for Pavel to show us yet a new side - with this truly informative lesson on constructing advanced chords - the first of it's kind here at gmc!  Pavel has also upgraded his recording equipment - which has resulted in better video quality. So after a bit of bugging we made it...! Please report if any bugs should remain! Kristofer |

QUOTE (Stevie?Ray?Vaughn @ Feb 12 2007, 11:01 PM)  incredible lesson, been waiting for 1 like this. thank you so much Hey thanks man! Well as most of the stuff at GMC i based on distortion i think i'll work on more stuff like this! I think as i mentioned in the lesson the importance of knowing chords shapes - i will make a lesson with lots of shapes switching. -------------------- "It isn't how many years you have been playing, it's how many hours." -- Prashant Aswani "PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!" -- Michael Angelo Batio Check out my video lessons and instructor board! |

Great lesson Pavel. Can anyone tell me where I can learn how to do different chord shapes for improvising?

Hey thanks for the question!
Well i think i'll have to dissapoint you  but when i am composing i don't think in progressions or scales that are "100% theory approved"! I pick up 2 - 3 chords and jam with them, and the so called "progression" simply develops from jaming. The key here is E major during the whole song. That G major sounded so cool to me there that i just wasn't thinking about was it in the scale or not.That's why i always say that composing has a lot to do with improvising, you just have to sit and improvise around the main theme you got in your head! Sometimes you'll get stuff that sounds great but simply doesn't go with theory!

Sure! Than you'll have to sit with that "weird" progression and jam over and over again to get the progression feel so it becomes comfortable for you. You won't be able to stay in just one scale.

QUOTE (Pavel @ Feb 18 2007, 06:24 AM) Sure! Than you'll have to sit with that "weird" progression and jam over and over again to get the progression feel so it becomes comfortable for you. You won't be able to stay in just one scale. The genius is in breaking the rules and getting away with it - some can do it (my co-writer can, I can't). The rules are there to guide you at first, but they are not set in stone. If something sounds good, it doesn't matter what rules it breaks. My favorite analogy is this: When you learn martial arts, you spend a lot of time doing formal exercises, called Kata. A lot of people mistake that for the art itself, but it is only a framework to hang your skill on. At some stage you move beyond the framework, safe in the knowledge that it has trained your reactions to do the right thing, but you are no longer bound to its literal interpretation. I think its the same with music. Another example is scales. We all play scales, but at some stage you move beyond the boxes and learn to use the notes themselves in a connected way regardless of the box. Is that cheating? No, it just means that the scales have done their job in training your reactions, and you are no longer a slave to them. The theory is NOT music, its just a way of nailing it down enough that we can learn it, and then be free to express ourselves. But, the essential point is that you need to have learn't the theory to have any hope of progressing beyond it. -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile
