Major Scale Ballad BT Jam!

[mosiddiqi]

Something a bit different again. http://img3.harmony-central.com/acapella/ubb/redface.gif. I wanted to practice chord tones so put together this BT with all Major chords. To make it a bit more interesting I er, "borrowed" the chord sequence from a soul classic that you may recognise. http://img3.harmony-central.com/acapella/ubb/redface.gif

The chords are AMaj/EMaj..then AMaj/C#Maj/DMaj/FMaj, then after that repeats it changes key and goes BbMaj/FMaj/BbMaj/F#Maj.

Here it is:

My take, which as I say was focused on targeting the chords rather then shred. I used a clean Strat sound and the lack of distortion encouraged me to play fewer notes http://img3.harmony-central.com/acapella/ubb/cry.gif http://img3.harmony-central.com/acapella/ubb/eek.gif http://img3.harmony-central.com/acapella/ubb/redface.gif

That is one I'll need to listen to a bunch before attempting to lay anything down.

:thu: My approach was to give myself lots of time in between phrases, rather than rush to fill in the gaps as usual :o...and then that allowed me to anticipate the changes better 'cos I was listening and then I could try and hit either the root, third or fifth of the chord coming up...

Wow... that's a lot of major chords... I'm just not any major dude...

Mo - I am trying to avoid listening to yours before I do my own tracks. I like yours dude. Reminds me of that old tyme feel from the 60's :thu:

Spent a few hours putzing with this BT. So here is my version using my restrung Ovation Acoustic.
