Dylan Kay Lesson #5 - II V I in F Major

chordadayXX



[From Dylan Kay]
Here are two examples of the superimpositions we have been studying. You may want to record the bass notes G, C and F to play these superimposed chords over, or even better get someone else to play the bass notes while you play the chords.

Also, try just playing the top 3 notes of each voicing…

Try and use the other voicings from the previous lessons to come up with some more II V I superimpositions of your own. You could also experiment with playing all the given voicings on strings 6,5,3,2.


[From Az]
And this concludes our five part lesson series featuring British guitarist-educator Dylan Kay! Stay tuned next week for new lessons from me!

If you're just joining us here at A Chord A Day, here are links to the other four lessons in this five-part series by Mr. Kay:

Lesson #1: Drop 2 + 4 voicings
Lesson #2: BbMaj7
Lesson #3: Emaj7b5
Lesson #4 : Am7

Enjoy!

Dylan Kay Lesson #4 - Drop 2&4 voicings for Am7

DK4



[From Dylan Kay]
Step three is to look at Drop 2 & 4 voicings for Am7. These will be superimposed over the Famj7 chord to create an Fmaj9 sound. (Am7 is A, C, E, G – the 3, 5, 7, 9 of the Fmaj7 chord).
