Blues In G

Blues In G (chord comping): I put this together after reading about blues/jazz chord comping in Guitar Player magazine.  It uses a Charleston Rhythm, which is a dotted quarter note followed by an eighth note.  The chords are all dominant 7ths.  Hope you enjoy playing it!

HEY GUITAR PLAYERS:  Looking for NEW MUSIC to play or to teach your students?  Check out the following six tunes…

1) Monster Theme: The lead guitar riff has notes from the E minor pentatonic/E natural minor scales, and the rhythm guitar part uses two-note power chords.  Sheet music available.

2) Rock Song In E Minor: A surf-style rock tune; E blues scale for the melody, and a syncopated open chord strumming for the rhythm guitar part.  Sheet music available.

3) Jerry: This melody uses the A major scale with an accidental (b3rd), and syncopated strumming for the rhythm guitar.  Sheet music available.

4) Workin’ At The Supermarket Blues: A basic 12 bar blues shuffle with a jazzy lead guitar melody.

5) Triad Shapes: I wrote this triad etude after reading an article in Guitar Player magazine about using pivot tones.  Notice the open 5th string (A) is being used as a drone.  Sheet music available.

6) Dropped D Tuning:  I felt awkward realizing that all St. Patrick’s Day events were cancelled this year due to COVID-19, so I wrote this piece to provide a sense of hope that we will overcome the crisis and celebrate St. Patrick’s Day again in the near future. The piece is performed by a virtual instrument that reminds me of the bagpipes; which was the sound I was looking for (the droning dropped ‘D’ string reflects this).  Sheet music available.

Enhance the experience of your events by adding live solo acoustic guitar music!  Instrumental arrangements of popular songs including “Fields Of Gold”, “With A Little Help From My Friends” and many other classics!  Music is performed at a reasonable volume level so you can enjoy every song while socializing.  Contact Chris today!  508-527-1767, cjcartermusic@gmail.com
