28 Feb 02 - 03:34 PM (#660126) Subject: RE: HELP: how to do an E chord? From: Don Firth Capo literally means "head." One meaning of head is "the little room aboard a boat of some kind." Head also refers to the fifteen or sixteen pounds of ugly fat that Dr. Guillotine's reducing salon guarantees it can remove instantaneously. I once heard about a fellow who kept his head a a location where he had to have a pane of plexiglass installed just below his navel so he could see where he was going. I hope this helps. E, G#, and B, played on whatever musical instrument happens to be handy. I leave it to you to work out the details. Don Firth |

28 Feb 02 - 03:59 PM (#660143) Subject: RE: HELP: how to do an E chord? From: Steve in Idaho No matter how this thread was intended - that is the coolest program!! I hear people talking about these different chords and now I can look them up. It makes a difference for those of us who wre never formally schooled. I was initially shown three chords and have picked the rest up over the years. I get the feeling that some folks look down on others because they use a capo. I'll use anything to play music with someone else. It's not about my technical perfection - it's about making music with friends. Steve |

01 Mar 02 - 06:32 AM (#660499) Subject: RE: HELP: how to do an E chord? From: McGrath of Harlow An E chord that I think sounds pretty good is where you fret the A string on the 7th fret, and the D and the G on the 9th fret, and leave the other strings open. I love the way it rings out.
I don't know what you'd call this. I've never seen anyone else play it, but I imagine lots of other people playing around must have found it. |

01 Mar 02 - 06:50 AM (#660510) Subject: RE: HELP: how to do an E chord? From: GUEST,Chris You've obviously never seen me play, McGrath *grin* I love that chord shape. It's also (as you've probably discovered, moveable) It sounds great with the A string fretted at 2, 3, 5, 7 (as you mention), 9, 10 and 12. I play an arrangement of 'Soul Cake' using just this shape Chris |

01 Mar 02 - 07:31 AM (#660530) Subject: RE: HELP: how to do an E chord? From: McGrath of Harlow I knew there had to be other people out there who liked this one.
Actually of course it's not an E chord at all, and by some definitions not a chord as such at all, since it's only got two notes. It's an E Dyad, with just the E and the B notes, so it isn't either Major (with the G#) or Minor (with the G). Anyway it's a sound I love.
I suppose if you wanted to play an E major up there with open string, you could just fret the A string on the 11th fret, and leave the rest the same, but I don't like the sound as much. (And for an E minor instead leave the G string unfretted - I quite like that sound.) |

01 Mar 02 - 07:49 AM (#660540) Subject: RE: HELP: how to do an E chord? From: GUEST,Chris Ha! Thank you for that minor version. I hadn't tried it before, but now realise that it's the chord shape that the astonishing voiced Tim Buckley used on his live version of 'Pleasant Street' (He uses a 12 string and a capo mind) So for that, many thanks!

01 Mar 02 - 10:49 AM (#660632) Subject: RE: HELP: how to do an E chord? From: Ritchie I think the easiest way to get any chord is just to go up to the piano player and say .." Hey give me an E, A or whatever " even to my untrained ear it's spot on every time ! Ritchie the threadkiller. |

01 Mar 02 - 01:16 PM (#660708) Subject: RE: HELP: how to do an E chord? From: McGrath of Harlow Surely if you only said that the piano player would just play a note rather than a chord? |

01 Mar 02 - 01:59 PM (#660750) Subject: RE: HELP: how to do an E chord? From: M.Ted You've rediscovered power chords, Kevin--start out on the seventh, move it to the 10th, then 12th--then 7th, 10th, 13th-12th-- you've got "Smoke on the Water"! |

01 Mar 02 - 04:41 PM (#660854) Subject: RE: HELP: how to do an E chord? From: McGrath of Harlow As I said, it's not technically a chord if there are only two notes. On a bouzouki you can do diads all the time if you feel like it. |
