RE: Stretchy chords (in reply to flyeogh)

quote:
ORIGINAL: flyeogh Can anyone suggest exercises or techniques to find chords when changing position or the chord is stretchy. Despite lots of practise I’m struggling to find with a high degree of accuracy or consistency Bb9 (5th at 2nd, 4th at 4th, 3rd at 5th). (Not terribly difficult I'd imagined ). I’m coming from D7 and finding it tough to find the position cleanly – especially as I have to play all three fretted strings and the open 2nd. Happy to put the hours in doing chord progressions but equally happy to grab any little methods that might click with my brain. Cheers A lot has to do with what the right hand (or the non fretting hand if you are Zurdo) is trying to do. By “cleanly”, it depends on the timing. For example if I was strumming rumba between these two chords, I would allow for the final stroke to catch the open strings as my hand moseys along to the other chord. Sometimes I might only get the index down while strumming, gradually forming the other notes in the chord one at a time as the open strings ring out, or only play that bass note and let it ring as I get the other fingers down. Now in cases where I don’t have the time to mosey along, and dont’ want any open string noises, such as moving from one chord to the next as contra beat accent hits, well that takes more practice. Even for pros it can be tough. We all use the metronome and slow the tempo way down until we get the feel for it. The idea is to loop the right hand pattern that is involved (be it strumming or arpegios or tremolo whatever it is), slow, and keep going back and forth between the two positions until it is clean. Then gradually increase the tempo.
