Thread Name: Help: Different Chords playing same key
Subject: RE: Help: Different Chords playing same key
Don - What a "refreshing idea!"

A safe haven away from the world of ills, scandals and politics where one can discuss music among musicians. A place far from the maddening crowd.

RE:Has anyones group ever tried playing three instruments, one playing a "C" chord, one an "E" chord, and the other a "G" chord with the whole sound created being a massive "C" chord. Probably not.

A choral group or barber shop quartet creates this effect by each singer taking a different note and sometimes creating overtones that inspire awe. With guitars it would work if the combined fingering on each guitar gave a solid C only, E only, G only. Chording using CEGEGBGBD would create a C9dim and a Andrew Loyld Webber type sound.
