Vintage Club #19 with Richard | Ideas for Playing with Two or More Guitars

Kudos and bravo to you Craig - that is some dedication to the cause.

Ask if anything is uncertain too. :slight_smile:

It was worth it and definitely hats off to you for all the content you provide :clap: :clap:.

It looks pretty clear, thanks… just takes a bit to absorb for easy on the spot recall for my ageing grey matter :joy: :joy:

Apologies due to a clash of dates I missed the live version but watched the recording this morning.

Excellent stuff and I followed it all apart from the mention of 3rd and 6ths. I am familiar with stacked 3rds for chord formation and triads on adjacent strings, is this something slightly different like particular parts of a scale or chord?

PS The Michael Thompson that asked the question live was obviously not me.

Thanks Michael. And don’t worry about 3rds and 6ths - a deep-dive in their own right.

Excellent lesson @Richard_close2u thank you :pray:t2: :+1::guitar:

Mike @Thomo
Definitely a good name, I thought I was in a parallel universe when I heard it.
Your username is interesting, it was my youngest brothers nickname at school, university and in later life with his friends.

Hi Richard, I may have missed it somewhere in this Community, but is it possible to get the Resource doc for this lesson? Thanks.

I was honestly suprised when time was up.

You know thats when it is a very enjoyable lesson. That capo chart is really cool. I am going to print and lamanate. I am hoping to figure it out in Music theory so I can just know it in my head eventually .

Hey to Bob from Saddlebrook, Arizona. If you find your way in here. Go introduce your self in the welcom section and then hit me up. We can make use of that amazing knowledge Ritchard droped on us and get a jam sess in.

Your wish is my command.

I have placed all slides into a pdf Resources document.
I have created six backing tracks - based on the three progressions.
For each progression, there is one with just guitar and one with guitar, bass and drum,
I have added to the plain looped sound of a single strummed guitar. I have overdubbed 3 or 4 layers of guitar.
All here. Resources to share – Google Drive

Enjoy
Richard

Thanks @ontime1969 I’m glad you enjoyed it Jason.

I hope your search for a jam buddy works out.

Yes it’s a nickname and fairly common certainly around rugby clubs for anyone named Thompson to be called Thomo!

Thanks Richard, very good documentation, before this session I was confused on how to use the Capo. But now with your explanation and play-along tracks, I understand the underlying theory of the Capo and its practical use.

Just watched this today and really enjoyed it. I’m always looking for ideas to use with my looper pedal and this gave me a bunch of different options to play around with now. I love the charts and how detailed you are in your teaching style. You present everything in a very clear manner that is easy to follow.

This is the second Vintage Club video I’ve watched now and I loved them both. I feel like I need to go back and watch a bunch more of them now. Thanks for all the effort you put into these.

Thanks Dan, very kind. :slight_smile: I hope you enjoy the others - though most do not have video recordings as that aspect only came along recently for the clubs.

Hey Mr C finally got around to watching this one. Really great session with Kay Poe and the Trio Plus !! Lots of goodness to enjoy for those new to these concepts.

The Axis of Awesome was a great place to go at the end, as there are so many options and you mirrored my pre BLIM practice schedule Triad work out !!


I’ll not add the other string groupings ! Something I will get back to post BLIM.

On the subject of sound/input levels at the start of the session and I am not sure what OS you are using - Windows I think ? But worth getting hold of a copy of YouLean Loudness Meter https://youlean.co/youlean-loudness-meter/ and set the levels for each input ahead of the stream. The pro version is around £25 at the moment and you can select your preferred streaming platform and it will show the optimal DB level. So you can get a balance before you go live - a few of us use it for OMs. The free version does not give stream specific options but the YouTube target is -14 db/lufs - contact me or @DavidP for info.

Finally a technical/theory question. Around the 30 minute mark you played an A using the Fmaj7 shape and followed it with a Bm sub at the 4th fret. Was that a Bm add 11. I see 4 to 1 F# B D E so 5 Root 3b 4/11 (?) but also a possible E7sus2 ? Would Bm add 11 be right in this case ? At the end of the day it could be called Wilma but it sounded really cool, so banked for future use.

Was worth catching up on this VC and I recommend others to do so if they missed the livestream, much goodness here. :+1:

Many thanks Toby. I’m glad you allowed yourself some non-BLIM time for other enjoyment.

Those diagrams are priceless.

I don’t use any monitor but my headphones.
Everything goes into my Yamaha AG06 mixer and that is a USB connection to my Wondows 10 laptop.
The live guitar & Trio+ & Multi-FX are all routed into the same input - channel 2,
Lapel mic in channel 1.
That is it.
I have the ability to vary the relative levels of each in a few ways but no way to monitor the actual, measurable output level from Streamyard to Youtube.

They were both D, G & B string triads with open E-string ringing above.
E is a chord tone of A so no complications.
E is the 4th scale degree of B so in the context of sitting above a full triad it is Bm11 yes! :slight_smile:
The other Bm fragment I played is not sounding out as a full triad with an extra E note. The notes in ascending order are B, D, B, E. It is missing the F# (5th). It does still have the 3rd so we would call it Bm11 (no 5th) as a standalone. But within a mix of other instruments playing a full Bm chord it is simply adding the texture of Bm11 to the overall.
