you. If we start our root from C Scale,
every note onward from the scale is a
numbered interval until we reach C again.
So a C note, a G note, and another C
would be rock’s beloved root-fifth chord.
Once you understand every chord’s
interval relationship, this opens you up
to intuiting chords allowing you to play in
different styles. Rattling off some just for
instance, major and root-fifths are perfect
for rock. You then have the jazziness of
major sevenths, the funkiness of ninths,
or the moodiness of a minor sixth.
in short
You’re all tuned up, your chops are at
their choppiest, and you’ve got a few
fresh licks up your sleeve. All of that
before you plug into the fancy amp
and fancy pedalboard. It’s all you baby!
Nothing can stop you now!
