Sr.s first video to blog
This little blues showed up a while back, and I decided to video it so I could do a first post and do a little tutorial and propose a little blues:first: when I say BM7 as the end chord in the riff, it should be BbM7
then, a quick note about voicing in circle of fifth patterns--a neat sound is the chromatic half- and full-step movement of one note as the chords go by, here my C# C Bb)
chromatic half- and full- tep movement of one note in circle of fifths chord movement("Don't
wait too long," e.g., and this tune C# C Bb in my blues here)
then, a little theory
In a diatonic scale (7 pitches--like G A B C D E F--) a typical chord pattern is written
I (tonic) ii (minor second) iii (minor third) IV (fourth-sub-dominant) V (dominant) vi (6th)
vii (diminished). . .in this blues, I'm modifying it so the tonic is minor (i) the 2nd is Major
(II) and the 5th is "modified"--bass, D, right hand G A C E)
In the key of Bb, Gm is the so-called "relative minor," which is the name of the
key this blues is in
the 4 chords in this blues are typical chords in the diatonic ("a scale composed of seven distinct
pitch classes")--G A B C D E F, shown in this blues (A7 D7 Gm7. . .chorus Gm7 Dm7
modified)
Now, to stop your eyes from spinning, the actual video:
