Master John McLaughlin's Guitar Chord Techniques
Hi Guys, Today, a look at the late 60’s early 70’s John McLaughlin guitar chord/riff style of “My goals beyond” and “Extrapolation”. This is a great compositional vamp style that really brings out the resonance of the guitar. It has a sort of loose swing feel to it, that sort of gritty London soho jazz sound of the time. The vamp is based around the D6add9 guitar chord shape, with the open E…

okay rebels remembered piece is finally done which means it’s BANJO TIME
#(In all caps)#I have the riff and the first chorus down pretty well#But there’s a fuckass key change that is really hard#And also I have really tiny hands which means there’s some chords I just physically can’t play 😭#We’ll find a workaround

aw i keep getting complimented on my voice by singers lately 🥺❤️❤️ i always hated how low it was and now im getting compared to marceline at <333
#also found out im probably an alto i wonder if i could go higher with enough training#but i wont go down that road i enjoy smoking weed too much to bother with my voice 😭#ill just stay as bass guitarist tho! i learned one song and one#riff on the guitar so far#as long as i dont have to hold any chords i can play lol#but i still prefer how the bass sounds over a regular guitar so#txt

For those wondering why I haven't made progress on the album I keep promising:

I am afraid to start
#these are all just tiny little sound clips except for two songs that total about 6 minutes#there are so many audio files of riffs and chords to go through#it is scaaaaary#the only time i ever really have to listen to them is when im at work and so so far away from my guitar and recording stufff#i also have one song that i NEED to finish before i officially get to this album#danblab

Wish me luck, MCR girlies. I’m going to absolutely BUTCHER I’m Not OK tonight at my college’s battle of the bands. Trying to summon the power and grace of Ray Toro for the solo but I am most definitely only an embodiment of Frank Iero’s ferality and nothing more.
#it’s a part of a bit me and my beloved friends are doing#a silly and funny bit and I LOVE to pretend to be a rockstar I’ll feel so cool#but also my guitar skills are very little to bad lol#I can do power chords sloppily and maybe a little riff sitting down with my fingers#harder when standing and VERY HARD when with a pic idk why I’m so bad at playing with a pic#I guess cause I learned acoustic finger style first rippp#gravical

Once again have the absolute bop that is "I've Got Tits But I Don't Know How To Use Them" stuck in my head
Unfortunately, since it's a song I've made up myself, I only have the chorus stuck in my head until I finally compose the rest of it
#life on the moon#it's like wanting to know what happens next in a fic you're writing#but worse#because I know even less about composing than I do about writing#it's got a similar piano chord riff to the other absolute bop#“Fuck You” by Cee-Lo Green#don't know what that chord progression is tho

got absolutely nerd-sniped—well, more like nerd-headshotted—by a friend's half-trolling half-serious assertion that "there are only three chords", & wound up spending my evening re-deriving everything i've ever known about music theory from first principles
to be clear this was absolutely fun as heck & honestly the troll kinda has a point
but also i literally didn't have time for this oops
#so ii and IV are kind of the same right#and the maj7 has a iii in there right#(continue bullshit handwavy comparisons with various modulations/dims/augs#until you just do wacky improv riffs on your fave shower songs#but with funkier chords)

Btw if you do dig Alex's solo work, his production on Juliana Gattas' (famously of Miranda) album Maquillada en la Cama is worth checking out too. Its recognizable of his sound with touches of more experimental funky grooves and sound reminiscent of what Gattas band is known for; their sounds really are a match made in heaven. He also worked on Julieta Venegas' Tu Historia, which I still need to listen to, but she has a pretty solid reputation for producing great music.
#la casa del amor nocturno is my favorite track off the album#its got a driving retro beat with contrasting guitar sounds that just reaaally hits#you got this one set of warm funk chords with sharp cold riffs over them i love it

#Scorpions#Passion Rules the Game#the Scorpions music video of all time#(just a band performing and having the time of their lives together = best music videos)#(me resisting the urge to self reblog my old gifs of this tonight…)#that little alternating chord guitar riff under the chorus…#getting a dose of serotonin from the song itself and the endearing stage interaction#(and Matthias and his lovely acrobatic moves)#Klaus Meine#Matthias Jabs#Rudolf Schenker#Francis Buchholz#Herman Rarebell#the chorus of this song = instant happiness#Youtube

making progress when learning an instrument feels soooo goooood
#i was working on the riff* of one of my current favorite songs and for once.#i HEARD it. like it actually sounded like the song. i was so overjoyed#also doing the 'spiderwalk' exercise has helped so much with my flexibility#i can actually reach notes now. i also figured out how to play bar chords** i feel sooooo cool#*the song is 'Really?' by Prince Daddy & the Hyena#**a 'bar chord' on guitar is when you have to stretch one finger all the way across the fret board and then play a chord underneath#(just look it up)
