In the last post we looked at an ascending bass run from D to A starting on an F# note on the fourth string, fourth fret. You can play the same run on the bass E string, as we mentioned. Play an open D chord. Now move your index finger down to the sixth string, second fret. Play this note, then the third fret with the second finger and the fourth...

Staying in the key of D for now, let's see how we can move from D to A and back with a connecting bass line. There are a number of ways, but first a descending bass line: Play the D chord, emphasising the open fourth string (D). Now play the A (fifth) string, fourth fret A (fifth) string, second fret Then the A chord, with the fifth string as...

Let's try something similar in the key of D. First, a change from D to G The classic run is on the fourth (D) string. Play a D chord, emphasising the open D. Now play single notes on the fourth string. Play Fourth string, second fret Fourth string, fourth fret Now play a G chord, emphasising the open G (3rd) string. The bass run is D-E-F#-G Here...

Are there any other ways to connect a C and a G? Yes! Remember we said that bass runs make use of semitones to connect closely spaced notes in a scale. The C chord contains an E note and the G chord of course has a G. We can use this fact to make a run of semitones connecting the two notes and therefore the two chords. Play a C chord and emphasise...

All right, let's see if there can be more than one way to connect two chords with different sequences of notes. This time we're changing from a C to G and back. Note that these runs will work in every song. They're also to be used sparingly; using them too often can lead to a repetitive sound. Experiment. If you like the sound that's all that matters. The...

We'll stay in the key of C for the moment. A very common change is from C to Am, and a connection between them that often work is simply the B note on the fifth string, second fret. From c to Am you're playing the C note on the fifth string 3rd fret as part of the chord. On a beat in between you play the B note on its own (fifth string, second fret)...

So you know a few chords and now you want to add a little something extra. Like a bass run, or a connecting sequence that gets you from one chord to another. You're willing to use those fingers (or your pick) on individual strings instead of just strumming all the time. Okay, here's a start. Strum a C chord and get ready to strum an F. Immediately...

x32000 is cmaj 7, so if you add the A note on the g string would that be c minor 7? Or is that another chord that i pulled out of the air? I'm trying to figure this stuff out lol.

Ive been playing guitar and singing for over 50 years and have owned all kinds of guitars and my favorite guitar is a Yamaha but i like Fenders also because they are light. I think that a Guitar after about 20 or more hours of playing just Barely gets the Strings just where you want them to Sound. I dont change my strings for at least 2 or 3 months or...

Have been looking at the PRS SE Singlecut and one thing the reviews seem to complain about is the lack of locking tuners. If I choose to add locking tuners 1) What sort of $ is that. I did some search around, but not sure if there are specific ones I would need for that PRS SE Singlecut or if they are "generic", that sort of thing. Can I pick any...

I suspect my luthier is not as qualified as he claims. Here is some hidden video of him adjusting a truss rod and resetting the intonation: http :// www .youtube,com /watch?v=hzfzgGBctyw
