08:53 Guitar as a sketching instrument
You know the old adage on how to write Blues (or Rock. Or Country... depends how you ask):
"Three chords and the truth"
That was fine and dandy for a while... and then we got inundated with 3chords and 4chords cheesy pop songs and now everybody is tired of the same old same old 3 chords.
Which is a pity.
Because honestly, I love wellmade 3chords harmonizations. And I think that all musicians should know how to do one.
(Harmonization: "put chords to a melody")
For two reasons:
1. They sound great, and
2. They are a great 'first harmonization' that you can do in seconds, and then you can always add more complex ideas if need be.
If you've never harmonized a melody before... this is exactly where you want to get started. Watch the video, try it with your guitar, start having more fun than you ever had with music :)
