More Tunes for Rhythm Guitar
Wednesday, June 30, 2010 at 11:08AM Here's a couple more example tunes with Rhythm Guitar chords.
"Undecided" is a very simple tune: the A sections go I-IV7-II7-V7, and the bridge goes I7-IV-II7-V7. I've presented the changes as simply as possible, which is how you might play them when the tempos get fast.
"I Found a New Baby" is another standard tune that highlights movement between minor and relative major, in this case Dminor to F major and back. Several tunes feature similar structures, such as "Love Me or Leave Me" and "Blues Skies."
I've presented two alternative versions. Both are simply example etudes, and I would generally use bits of both in each chorus, and move between them freely. The first version starts with the Dm6 at the 10th Fret, and the second at the 5th Fret. As you can see the voice leading chages based on where you start.

Oh, and hey Falty, I didn't see that was you. Looking forward to jamming at Camp Hollywood. Are you bringing your Loar?
I just wanted to let you know that I'm finding your site extremely helpful. I've started playing with a big band, but they haven't had a guitarist for years. So I'm trying to make the transition from rock/contemporary Christian to big band arrangements in swing, straight-ahead-jazz and other styles. It's all a bit overwhelming, but your helpful instruction is helping me break it down. So thanks!
