Airy, ambient chords....

What's Hot
Dan_HalenDan_Halen Frets: 1555
in Theory
Hiya, I've always been fine at transcribing and working out single lines but really struggled with chords.

Basically, I really like what Rabea is playing beginning at 19:11 here but can't figure it out - 

That it's on a Baritone, in C and I don't have either a Bari or a capo is making it really hard to figure out what is going on.

My harmony is reasonable so, presented with the chords or notes, could figure out why it works.... I just can't work out what they are! Also, I can't seem to tie up where I see his fingers (looking for clues in the vid!!) in relation to what I'm hearing.

Is anyone who's really hot at this stuff got 10 minutes to figure it out or able to give me a rough idea of what's going on? I'm hearing what feels like G9/D to start, but could also be kind of a D6... argh!!!

I've started to listen to some stuff like Ry-X (for example) and this has a similar ambient, airyness and I'd love to start messing around with similar progressions if anyone has any good resources for this kind of thing.

Cheers!

    Check out John Cordy's youtube, he has some interesting lessons on this type of thing.

    I’m already subscribed!! I tend to just end up listening to his super tasty playing... I should actually watch some of the lessons. You’re right - he does a fair bit of this sort of stuff. Good shout cheers!

    He's playing open (or spread) triads. If you're in standard tuning he's pretty much playing these, with some embellishments here and there ...

    G  3-5-x-4-x-x
    Bm 7-9-x-7-x-x
    Em 0-2-x-0-x-x

    Am 5-7-x-5-x-x
    G 3-5-x-4-x-x
    D/A 5-5-4-x-x-x

    G  3-5-x-4-x-x
    Bm 7-9-x-7-x-x
    Em 12-14-x-12-x-x

    D 10-12-x-11-x-x
    Dsus 10-12-x-12-x-x
    A/C# 9-x-7-9-x-x
    C 8-10-x-9-x-x

    At 19:10 he plays Dm add 9 then B over G implying G maj chord then D over B implying Bm chord

    Then rest on G over B Then imply Am - G - A over F#

    Basically a lot of it is taking 2 notes of a chord to  imply it ... for example  picking a D note and a lower B note at the same time implies a B minor chord but sounds more spacey and interesting.

    It’s like the beginning of that Eric Clapton song about his son - what was it again

    @Dan_Halen ; here's one of my early talks about this but there's quite a few spread Triad discussions on my channel now if you go on the lessons/licks playlist

    Nice one cheers John. That looks super helpful and just what I’m after as well. Need to expand my chordal repertoire a bit having neglected it for... about 25 years or so!
