GOOD STUFF KENI.............THANKS
On a 4 string, using the movable chord method (See CD 5 and 6), it is possible to play extended chords. 3 note triad (major / 135 or minor 1b35) + an additional note. The 3 string CBG requires dropping a note and adding the extended note. Chords can be any order: 135 / 153 / 351 / 315 / 513 / 531. (Called chord inversions) They are all major chords, but have a different voices because the notes ring in a different order. Especially the note you start and end on. If you drop a note 1, 3 ,or 5 and add the extended note (example 7th chord). Lots of possibilities: 13b7 / 15b7 / 35b7...(inversions too).
I don't use charts. I put the theory right onto the fingerboard. Learn to name all the notes in the tuning you are using. This way you will begin to visualize the correlations between notes, double stops, and chords. If you can play a major scale vertically on the fingerboard, the major chord is right there too. Remember an E chord is built using an E major scale, an A chord; an A major scale...etc. None of this needs to be a mystery. It really is a matter of building your knowledge from the ground up...I hope this helps.
After reading all the submissions, everything seems to be going in the right direction. I understand the confusion. For example, a 7th chord adds the b7 to the major chord (1,3,5). If you add the 7th note it is called a Major 7th chord.
All the numbers I am referring to, come from the Major Scale. 1 - 8 (an Octave) The major scale is the master scale and defines the 12 different keys of music. Music is about relativity. So if you understand the theory, it is applied the same to any key.
Thank you friends for sharing and discussing. Of course, you are all aware this is a shameless promotion for CD 6. So please if you found this presentation thought provoking, please consider it. Also this book is very helpful too: http://www.edly.com/mtfpp.html
