© 2003The purpose of the lessons in this series is to help the viewer acquire skill in harmonizing melodies for chord style playing.
Any single note may be the root, third, fifth, seventh, ninth, or 11th. Plus the 4 types of chords, and altered tones, that are put in the mix = sus 2,sus4, b5, b9, #9.
There are some 30 different chords named, that will have the same common note, in their structure, in this lesson.
In the string sets, mentioned in earlier lessons, a specific note is used as a reference point.
In this lesson string set #3, strings 3, 4, and 5, are used. This involves confining the top note of any chord to the 3rd string.
