Hello everyone

A lot of intresting reply stuff to read

One of the main chord progressions which is also instresting to hear and
to experiment with is the circle of fourth's and fifths

for instance you can draw a circle and move clockwise around all the modes of guitarscales and chords but how ??????

let us say that you start out with the usual C -CHORD(root) and that we count each time a fourth on the chord higher clockwise
a fourth is found by using the following scale degree
(tone + tone + semi tone or two and a half step higher than the root chord)

ex : If I am playing a C -chord - - - >the next one is F --> next one Bb
and we go on and on...until you reach again the F-chord

let us presume in the following experilent that we raise a fifth from the rootchord and we go in the opposit direction of the clock by using the following scale degree
(tone + tone + tone + semi tone) or three and a halve step higher

ex : If I am playing a C -chord ---> the next one is G ---> next one is D
and you keep on counting until you reach again the G chord

By this way of training the chords you also train the several scales and
modes in music and one thing also.."THIS IS GOOD EAR TRAINING'

Try also the following chord progression IN C

I II III IV V VI VII

C MAJ Dmin Emin FMAJ G7 Amin Bmin7flat5

C MAJ 7 Dmin7 Emin7 FMAJ7 G7/9 Amin7 Bmin7/9flat5

these progression works in every scale..........

to end this reply I want to give you a little bugg....
Let us take a simply four voiced chord inversion

ex : C6 or A MAJOR SIXTH CHORD

1. the basic notes are : c-e-g-a or root form

look at this inversion of the chord

first inversion : e-g-a-c starting with the second voice of the chord

second inversion : g-a-c-e starting with the third voice of the chord

third inversion : a-c-e-g

at the end of the inversion this maj sixth chord has changed into another
form of chord and I will give you the exact name which is Amin7 :eek:
so al chords are related and we can affirm that a maj sixth chord is equal
to a min7 chord if we simply lower down one and a half step from the rooth

so Cmaj6 minus(lower) one and a half step is Amin7 :eek:

this little bug is the same for all the chord progressions and for each chord there is a substitute chord :) ..and this boys and girls...IS MAGIC !!!!!!!!

yours sincerally
