Hi friend,
Let's get right to work. Today's tip is a combination of a chord and a
progression:
****************************
#2 of 13
"The Minor Ninth Chord in C#"
Bass = C#
Right hand = E + G# + B + D#
I like to use this chord progression in a "1-4" turnaround. For example, it
creates a nice groove when you change the 3rd finger from "B" to "A# (or Bb)"
Now, if you do this, you must also change the bass to "F#." That is why I call
it the "1-4" turnaround because "F#" is the 4th tone in the C# major scale.
Basically, you switch from the C# minor chord (the third tone is a "B" natural)
to the F#13 chord (the third tone is simply lowered to "A#" and the bass to
"F#). Here is a summary:
C#min9 --> F#13
(Bass: C# Right hand: E + G# + B + D#) -->
(Bass: F# Right hand: E + G# + A# + D#)
Try it out ... I think you'll agree that it's pretty "groovy!"
Thanks for your time again.
