_ _ [C] _ _ Hey guys, Robert here from Master Guitar Academy.
Today I want to show you a cool little idea that's using two strings.
_ Let's say we're playing on a C dominant chord.
_ [Am] _ _ _ What I'm talking about is this.
[G] _ _ _ _ [D] _
And we can also play [Cm] it here.
[E] _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ [N] And it's a very useful idea.
You can use it when you're playing rhythm guitar,
but also when you're playing lead.
_ You know, we're playing a blues in the key of C.
[C] _ _ [Cm] _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ Often we would play something like_
[Eb] _ _ [F] _ _ _ [Ab] _
And then we can throw in this [C] _ [F] _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ over [C] here.
[G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ Alright, so what's happening?
It's like we're playing on _ _
_ [Em] _ [Ab] that string and then on this string. _
[Bbm] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
So let me show you here [Eb] first.
I'm _ [C]
playing_
So this is a major third. _
_ I'm hammering on here from the minor third to the major third.
And then we have the fifth on top.
_ [A] And I'm starting with sort of lead in note on the D string here.
The [Gb] root note C.
So [Cm] _ [Am] that's _ the first [Cm] part.
_ _ And then I'm going to_
would be the four chord.
[F] _ _ Just [Gb] barring here on the [Fm] G and B strings.
[C] _ _ [F] _ _ [Cm] Like that.
_ _ [Dm] So if you didn't go up here, you could [Ab] just go back and forth between those.
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Em] [Bb] Which is cool enough in itself.
But let's take it one step [Cm] further.
_ [Am] _
[F] See, now I'm using index finger.
_ And now I'm using the exact [Ab] same idea as I did here.
I just moved up three [C] frets.
_ [Ab] One, two, [G] three.
And we [Gm] _ have_
[Abm] So now we have the fifth and the minor [Gb] seventh together.
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _
Which is a concept we use [Gm] all the time in blues.
_ [C] _
But with this [C] approach, _ [Eb] it _ sounds different, right?
And [F] _ [Gm] _ _ then I just [F] come back.
_ [C] _ _ So you can have a blues groove going like that.
[G] _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ [Ab] Let me just repeat it.
_ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ [Cm] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
There's a lot you can [C] do with it. _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ I think it's really sweet.
Now, let me also show you how you play it here. _
_ We're going to do it the same way, but the fingering is slightly different.
So we play it like [Cm] this.
_ [Em] _ _
_ _ _ That third that we have, like this, that grip, it becomes this grip on these strings.
_ [D]
On the B and E [Cm] strings.
[Em] _ _ _ _
And then, next, the four chord looks like this.
_ _ [Gb] And then we have the same thing as here, just three frets up.
[Gm] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ [Em] _ [G] _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ So let's play it first here slowly, and then we'll play it here.
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Db] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [Gb] And of course, you can continue this idea when you go to the four chord and the five chord.
So if we play blues in the key of C, the four chord would [F] be F.
So you could play it there too.
Like maybe first in C, [Gb] _ [Dm] _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ [A] _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
and maybe a [G] five chord G.
[Db] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
[C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ Anyway, I hope you can see how cool this is.
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
