How to Voice Chords with the 2nd & 5th Notes

Video Transcript

So now I just want to take a second and really explain the importance of outlining these three different chords, and how you really use one scale to really make these three chords sound different is by really accenting the different tonal centers. So if we have D major, one, three, five, and seven, you notice that my three and seven are right here, right, in the middle. And then you have E minor, one, three, five, and seven. Your three-seven's here. And then in your A seven you have this... so you?re three and your seven are right here, for a first, you have seven and three. So you have D major, and you have three and seven, E minor, three and seven, then A major at seven and three. So you're changing around these different voicings and by just playing the three and the seven, you can hear, here's E minor, A seven, E major, right. And you can hear that chord progression. E minor, A seven, D major. And those are called shell voicings. Three, seven, seven, three, three, seven, you can still hear it even going without the bass, right. So now I can add some extra voicings in there but still outline it. So we got E minor, A seven, D major, but notice I still have those shell voicings hidden within there so it sounds like I'm playing a progression. Even though I'm using one scale. And that's shell voicing.
