Harmonies and octave

Text

Harmony

From the Latin harmonia meaning joining, concord, and from the Greek harmos meaning joint.

The combination of three or more sounds in a manner that produces a musically consistent, agreeable, pleasing whole.

Harmony, associations: Accompaniment, chords, triads, seventh chords, chorale style

Octaves

Many musical scales in the West use eight notes. The distance between the first and eighth note is called an octave. This octave distance can be broken down into 12 semitones (on a guitar, each fret is one semitone.) ... Also: playing any note an octave higher will double it's frequency vibration rate.

Guitar Stuff for 8.22.19

*SAME AS PRIOR DUE TO UNUSUAL CLASS SITUATION =)

1) Warm-up: "Bursts of speed" with major scale and any other scale. Use "Carry On Wayward Son" riffs on bars 9 through 11 and 89 as practical examples using the pentatonic scale.
Further explore w/pentatonic scale using alternate/economy picking.

2) Fingerstyle practice: Hey There Delilah (traditional format)

Money for Nothing (Mark Knopfler hack)

3) Continue practicing "Hemorrhage"

4) Explore 6/8 time with "Waiting for Yesterday" by 12 Stones -- this tab seems to be the best one despite its lack of accenting and nuances; you'll need to tune to D standard and increase the speed of the playback on the tab.

"Bursts of speed" with major scale

This can be applied with any scale or pattern, really. The idea is to alternate between 3 consecutive quarter notes and a quartet of 16ths before returning to the quarters, and so on. You can do this in reverse as well.

"Let Her Cry" by Hootie and the Blowfish

G                      D

     She sits alone by a lamp post

     C                                           G

     Trying to find a thought that's escaped her mind

     G                               D

     She says there's the one I love the most

     C                   G

     his type's not far behind


     G             D

     She never lets me in     only tells me where she's been

     C                         G

     when she's had too much to drink

     G                                D

     I say that I don't care   I just run my hands through her dark hair

     C                                          G

     then I pray to God, "You gotta help me fly away"   (and just)



chorus:

             C              G

     let her cry    if the tears fall down like rain

             C             Em            D

     let her sing   If it eases all her pain

             C               G

     let her go     let her walk right out on me

                  D

     and if the sun comes up tomorrow,

                C             G
