A technical knowledge of harmony is not absolutely essential in the music, but the amateur musicians and listeners alike should chord aware as part of the guitar structure harmony. It should be cognizant of certain basic principles, the properties and using this element.
Harmony as element is more sophisticated than rhythm and melody. It was virtually nonexistent in primitive cultures. It is an item that appeared late in the history of music comparatively and developed primarily in Western civilization.
Harmony is a musical element based on the simultaneous combination of musical sounds (as opposed the successive notes of the melody), or accompanied by a melody with chords.
A combination of three or more is at the same time played tones, and perceived as a whole-sounding called a chord.
Some rudimentary principles will help you to understand the nature of the conventional chord design. The simplest chord is the major triad, which is three tones. We can create a triad by one specific sounds major and by adding two or more notes about it in alternative level of the original scale. For example, if we as ", c-Dur do prime of scale" with level C we start the triad mi Sol, 1-3 5 get or with the letter name C E g.
The notes of each chord perhaps arranged in different order, and perhaps an octave on or duplicated without altering the essential nature of the chord. This is the reason why we often see chords as such as C/E (the first reverse of the C major triad use the chord tone E as the bass) or C/G (the second reverse of the same triad G use the chord tone as the bass)
Build chords in third (on alternate scale degrees as described) was the basis for all conventional harmony of 1700-1900.
In the twentieth century, serious music composer extended chord vocabulary through additional means of construction in the interests of the more colourful and complex effects. Although additional means of construction was follow introduced modern pop, rock and jazz music the conventional way the chord structure - by thirds.
Go back to the major chord, can itself be questions why there are several fingerings for a specific major chord. This is because the 12 frets of guitar notes easy even repeat octaves to increase to their corresponding string. C, String, third cell to A string, for example, click the first cell on B, fifth cell on the G string and respect cell to the E string. The other notes and their possible fingerings are here for reference:
D: third cell at B, 5. cell when A, 7th G and tenth e;
E: 2nd D, 5th B, 7th in A, 9th G and 12. e;
Q: 1st E, D, 3rd 6th B S 8th and 10th in G;
G: 3rd E, 5th D, 8th B, 10th on A and 12. When G;
A: 2nd G, 5th E, 7th D, 10th B and 12 a;
B 2nd at A, 4 G, 7th E, 9th D and b 12.
Depending on how the melody of the song is arranged chord education can take anywhere in the fingering as long as the Trias is formed and how it is played easily.
Now that you have an understanding of the major chord, let us examine the parallel counterpart the minor chord. If the third major triad is changed by it is by a half tone (a cell on the guitar) and two frets for each whole sound resulting triad C E flat G, which is the minor triad.
Check the cell Board and examine all possible fingerings for minor chord. You can see that if it compare with the major chord fingerings, a string in the form of smaller chord, reduced double the unless there are minor third (E / flat).
If you are questions why the examples called here are chord on the C, it is because it now apply the lesson of the series. Chart below major and minor versions of chord Triads for the rest of the notes and... start strummin '!
