OFFICE HOURS 126 | James Taylor, Diminished Chords, 7 String, Singing
Added 2023-06-28 19:48:06 +0000 UTCNew here? Wondering where to start? Click here for my Patreon start page, or here for my recommended lesson plan.
Hi Everyone,
The question this time:
Mason had a question about James Taylor talking about "being in A position or D position" with a capo
Ray had a question about diminished chords, and another question about fingerpicking patterns.
Markus asked if I was going to teach some 7 string lessons. I'm not.
Jeff asked for some general singing tips, but I initially mistook the question to be specifically about solfege
Catch the next one on Thursday at 10AM

2023-06-29 12:43:40 +0000 UTCHi Scott, is it possible to expand on the mysteries of half-diminished chords? How they are constructed, when to use them - and any particular types of music they are appropriate for.

2023-06-28 19:57:57 +0000 UTCGreat timing. Just watching some song walkthroughs by James Taylor, and he keeps referring to being in an A or D etc fingering… what does that mean? Is he referring to a CAGED type thing? For example, discussing Carolina in my Mind, he says “we’re in D fingering, but we’re in the key of F”… he’s capo’d on 3…. https://youtu.be/J8-5czYJvPM
