How To Play Bottleneck Blues Slide Guitar - Online Course Lesson 1I - Monday 12/01/2014 EXPLORATION To do a word search puzzle, you need to know how the 26 letters of the alphabet are used to spell words. This is similar to the way new discoveries can be found on the fingerboard, regarding the correlations of single notes, double stops (chord fragments) and chords (3 note Triads and multiple note Extended chords). This chart is the two highest strings of Open D Tuning: DADF#(AD). The notes are the three notes (1 - G / 3 - B / 5 - D ) from the G Major scale required to make a G Major Chord. The G chord is one of the 3 basic chords utilized when playing in the Key of D (1 - D / 4 - G / 5 - A). Often students ask, What notes do I play when someone is strumming a chord? A great place to start is the notes used to construct the chord. If you can play Major Scales in various positions on the fingerboard, the 1, 3, 5 notes can be targeted. Adding additional notes will create many different licks and fills. The notes of the chord can be used as single notes or paired with another chord note (double stop: 1/3, 3/5, 1/5). Double stops can be played at the same time (chord fragment) or the notes alternated in a creative way (interval). Study - What are the notes of the A chord? Can you find them on the first two strings as double stops in Open D tuning? Clarification - Work it out yourself. Did you know the three notes (1,3,5) required for each of the 3 basic Major chords in the Key of D (D, G, A) are all found in the D major Scale: D E F# G A B C# D?
