Beginners Notes #155-A Minor Bluesy Idea
Plays nicely two frets above the minor your working against.
Notice that, two frets up from Gm at fret 6th A pedal down, you will find if you use the B pedal
and lower the 2nd string a half step(at fret "8"), it will give you a minor scale clear across the neck.
That's pretty nice!

Would that be "two frets above the minor" using the A pedel? Or "two frets above the minor" using the E-Eb KL? Or "two frets above the minor" using BC pedals?

First let me say, Jim I'm flattered that you would even give this stuff a second glance. Thank you, it gives me hope of many others following my Beginners Notes.
When I wrote this out, I had been listening to some of the Jazz Guitar instruction on Youtube. What a wealth of information there! And what I had stuck in my mind at the time, was A pedal down at the 6th fret... BC at fret 13 also works, but is a little out of position, as does the Es lowered at fret 11 which is a little closer to the 8th fret, where the action is. If I'm not all wet, Gm depending on strings picked.
I'm just getting started with this stuff myself, trying to expand my limited knowledge base. I thought this was a catchy little lick...
I just reread my post and buy using the "Two Frets Up, B Pedal Down" statement, I had left that Idea Hanging. Sorry about that. What was meant, but not said, was Two Frets Up from the minor your working against, which we now is the 6th fret, A pedal down. That means the minor scale falls at the 8th fret B pedal down and 2nd string lowered 1/2 step.
Jim I hope I got that right... |

Dick,
I understood what your original post intended to say and that the minor you were talking about being 2 frets up from was the "A" pedal minor, in your example it would be Gm. I just wanted to make sure that "beginners" would not be left guessing which position or maybe they might not know yet that you can make a minor chord with the "A" pedal. As always, your posts have great value and I always take a look at your work, because I know enough to know that I don't know it all and try to seek out information from any source to keep on learning myself. Keep up the good work!

Appreciate the good words Jim...
It is amazing, the more you learn, the more you understand how much more there is to learn. One step at a time I guess... What an amazing instrument we play, that holds so many secrets and sometimes gives them up so reluctantly.
I like the line "Endeavor to Persevere". Now, back to work... |
