Re: Introduction to Drop 2 Chord Voicings
Can we talk the theory of your lesson a bit? My brain grabs it better if I understand why you are doing what you are doing.
You chose the I Major 6 and the V# diminished chord as the basis for creating every chord through your chord scale. The question is, why? My assumption is that, between those two chords, you've covered every note in that Bebop scale. Does that seem right?
(Besides, one of those chords gives you lots of tension and one gives resolution, so you are creating little mini tension cycles there without even thinking about function.)
You are alternating between those two chords based on which note grouping (the Maj6 or the diminished) that the scale tone at the bottom falls into. Does that seem correct?
Thanks!!
