NEW: QwikRiffs Series - Video (014)
QwikRiffs are available to members at Creative Guitar Studio.com. Lessons in the QwikRiffs Series run through collections of rhythm guitar riffs covering all types of playing styles. I cover different 'famous artist' playing approaches and I will demonstrate ideas based on rhythm guitar techniques...
Daily Deal:
Episode #014 covers three "Altered Chords for Jazz" Riffs.
Riff one takes the V-chord of our key of "Eb Major," (the "Bb7" chord), and adds augmented 5th and 9th tones into the chord structure. These alterations are placed into a typical "II-V-I" chord progression, (Fm7 - Bb7 - Ebmaj7), within the key.
Riff two expands the chord movement within the key using a "IV-II-V7-I" progression, (Abmaj7, Fm7, Bb7, Ebmaj7). The V-chord is altered using a "flat-five." The alteration occurs on the "Bb7" chord as a, "Bb7b5."
Riff three examines the use of the Dominant 7th "flat-nine" on the keys "V-chord." This creates "Bb7b9." Plus, the progression also adds the passing chord sound of "Secondary Dominant." This occurs through the keys "VI-chord." The diatonic "Cm7" has been converted to "C7" and I've added a "b5" altered tone, producing a "C7b5."
