Know the chords - substitute chord? passing chord?

Getting bored of repeating Major and minor chords? Let's try to substitute the chords and add some colour and flavour by arrange in passing chord!!

Before you start, make sure:

  • you have some basic understanding about interval. For turorial about interval please visit here.
  • grab a guitar and play the chord, I want you to remember the "sound, texture and colour" of the chord instead of the dull theory

* I only show 1 chord for your example (but not showing all of the different position) so you can capture the colour and sound of the chord, so please do feel free to check othe material such as chord dictionary to find various combination and position of chords.

** The chords I listed here are mostly suitable for strumming, if you are more likely to play them in a plucking way, I will made another article discussing about the pattern and tips for plucking, which will comes more complicate because of walking melody. Anyway, you just have to get the idea of the structure of chord progression.

Are you ready?

只会弹奏大调和小调和弦?来看看替换和弦和经过和弦吧!!用得好的话它能为单调的编曲加上色彩还能够减轻手指的负担哦!!这篇文章要告诉你,其实我们平时弹流行曲遇到的好像很复杂的和弦,其实都是经过加工的大调和小调和弦而已哦!!

开始之前,确保你对“音程度数”有些微的了解(想温习的童鞋们请到这里);并随手抱着一把吉他,即刻试弹来感受被替换后的和弦的色彩!!

张智霖 - 相爱无梦

张智霖 - 相爱无梦 key: D > E capo 2, play as C key
Guitar: Stonebridge GS40CM
String: Gibson Masterbuilt Premium Light (012~053) 



很好听的一首《相爱无梦》,送给想爱却爱不到的苦情郎(娘) 们。

verse的部分,那些滑音勾音捶音的pattern,因为是低音弦,捶音的时候因为和上一个音太过接近,所以声音很难出的来,勾音因为弦粗也勾得手疼,滑音杂音又很大声,大家就自己斟酌着去放吧。






張智霖

相愛無夢

Tvb劇集'西關大少'主題曲
作詞:藍奕邦
作曲:林健華

跟你抱著 未等於愛上
不再抱著 未等於不想
你我在這分鐘
說過無緣再見
下秒鐘再湊巧碰上

即使一起 貌合卻又神離
分隔兩地 日夜掛著愁眉
再各自結新歡
卻暗地拿你去比較現有的
始終偏袒你

有心愛你卻愛不到
抱緊了你卻又未想終老
再等到與對方失散以後
就會知 原來誰最好
愛不到至會更想愛
抱緊了你我又無心裝載
我跟你也破不到
男與女之間 愛情的定數

一個過活 恨抱著情人
一對過活 又掛念誰人
到了話要分開
你我尚有惻隱
又再探聽對方新聞
