This morning I put together a little video in which I tried to explain my transitions of Matt Heaton's approach to accompanying tunes in A-Dorian. I hope this helps understanding my writings in the previous post.
Once again the script I made yesterday:
Main Chords: Am, G also Em and C
Main Chords:
Am: 2,2,0,2
G: 0,0,2,0 or 0,0,2,5
Em: 4,2,2,5 or 4,2,2,2 or x,2,2,2
C: 5,5,3,0 or 0,2,3,0
A: Part:
Am | G | Em | Em-G
Am | G | Em | G-Am
or
Am | G | C-G/B | Em |
Am | G| C-G/B | Em-Am |
Run C, G/B, G
C: 5,5,3,0
G/B: 4,5,5,0 oder 4,5,2,0
G: 0,0,2,0 oder 0,5,5,0
Higher chords:
Am: 5,7,7,7
G: 0,5,5,0 oder 4,5,5,5 oder 4,5,5,0
connect with C and Em
more chords:
Am: 9,10,0,7
G: 0,9,10,0
Em: 9,9,10,0
they fit together well
Run C, G/B, G
C: x,10,7,0
G/B: x,9,10,0
G: x,5,5,0
Run: C, G, Am:
C: x,10,7,0
G: x,9,10,0
Am: x,7,7,0 oder x,7,7,7
Tip for B-Part:
Start with D instead of Am! (D5!) - does not work always!!!
D: 7,7,0,0
G: 0,5,5,0 oder 0,9,10,0
It works because D also includes A which is in the melody as well.
F-Chord
this works sometimes. In this tune there is no F in the melody. But you may use it in the B-Part, maybe in the repeat.
Am | G | Em | G |
Am | G | Em | G-Am|
F | F | G | G |
Am | G | Em | G-Am |
F: 2,3,3,0
G: 4,5,5,0
Am: 2,2,3,0 oder 5,7,7,0
Another way of playing Am:
Am: 5,7,7,0
you might want to play it together with G: 4,5,5,0 and Em: 4,2,2,2 or 4,2,2,5 or maybe 0,2,2,2
So these are the tricks I found out while watching Matt's video. If you have other ideas I would be glad if you could send them to me. I would really appreciate your thoughts and would love to post them here on my blog.
