Accompaniment Study 3
Sun, 09/27/2015 - 08:01
In the opening video of LOA3 you say that for the accompaniment section you want us to play on one hole for a verse using the notes available on that hole to follow the chords. Then the second hole for a verse, up to hole 6.
Have I understood that right?
Is a verse the whole 12 bars? In which case do I submit 6 versions? One for each hole? (Is that even possible?)
Thanks.
That's correct. So your final submission should be six verses (choruses), of which are 12 bars each, in total length. If a note is not available on a given hole, then move up or down one hole to play a note that works. Work on the accompaniment lesson, I show you how to do it.
You're focussing on a three-note chord right now (G B D for example). When you get to four-note chords in study 5 (G B D F) you'll be able to do this only having to move off your hole one time (hole 5, the F# of the V7 Chord is not available).
This is an extremely valuable exercise, one of the two most important exercises you'll ever do in your lessons (Chorus Forms being the other).
