The 6 and 9 string at the 5th fret with no levers or pedals on the E9 is a b7 on the 9th string and a 3rd on the 6th string which I wish to use as a chord.
If you move that up to the 11th fret on the 6th and 9th string it is inverted with the b7 on the 6th string and the 3rd on the 9th string.
As you can see by my chart above if you take it further things pretty well continue to invert in this manor.
For instant the two note A6 will invert up the neck to an Amaj7 and likewise a two note Amaj7 will invert up the neck to an A6.
A two note Ebm7 will invert up the neck to a Bbm7 and etc.
Which seems to imply you could pretty much play all the two note chords I listed in the two A major chord positions, the up position at the 5th fret and the down position at the 12th fret.
I’m just sort of adapting it to a ii V7 I progression.

Here is just some comping some of those two note chords over a standard old Jazz I ii V I progression.
I noticed that my choice of chords for V of the progression clashed a little with my BIAB style.

Hi Stuart,
This is all interesting stuff for people who haven't thought about it before, although as a tritone is half an octave it should come as no surprise that chords based on it invert readily. Bass players always watch out for the 7b5 chords in a chart and will generally substitute F# for C &c. This gives us the chromatic bass lines in jazz, although Tchaikovsky had already done it to death.
BTW what software do you use to create the tab? I have Sibelius and Finale but neither of those can do it as far as I can tell.

Dale thanks for the compliment but I don't know about smart but I do know I study and think a lot and I enjoy it.
Ian I didn't realize I was writing Tchaikovsky licks 
Seems some Bass players and Tchaikovsky might have got jump on me and proceeded a little ahead of PSG players regarding theory.
I use TablEdit software and then I move it to Photo Shop and add text etc..
However I wish folks would get into the Tabledit thing so we could just swap files.
there is a free Tef version of TablEdit that will display these tab and the tap plays along note for note in midi.
Here is an example of TablEdit playing the same tab shown. Don't tell Bo but I like the TablEdit version better
I put a BIAB band behind it

I don't know why…..maybe a fiddle thing but……..
In Bluegrass two note chords are called " double stops "

| I always understood chords require 3 notes, and two is an interval. An interval through a distortion pedal creates a chord from an interval though. |

About the Dyad in music from the "Net"!
In a triadic context, chords with omitted thirds may be considered "indeterminate" triads.
In music, a dyad is a set of two notes or pitches. Although most chords have three or more notes, in certain contexts, a dyad may be considered to be a chord.
The "most common" two-note chord is made from the interval of a perfect fifth, which may be suggestive of music of the Medieval or Renaissance periods, or various kinds of rock music. When fifths are missing from major or minor triads, on the other hand, they may still suggest triads. For example, C and E may suggest a C major triad (C-E-G), which in the key of F major is the dominant and would lead back to F, the tonic.
So... Dyads may be considered cords. At least by some. |
