Hello Fellow AM’rs;
For the March 2024 challenge I created a three chord tune using AM, DM and E. I explained what I did below the video link. I learned a lot from the CAGED series and had fun with this challenge. I hope you are all doing well.
Starting out I used open chord form arpeggiating the notes. Next I slid into the Am using the E barre chord form. I transitioned to the Dm using the Am barre chord form then sliding up to the 7th fret E major using the A barre chord form. I then used triads on strings 1, 2 and 3. The first was sliding into Am using the E shape, then sliding to Dm using the Am shape then E7 using a modified C7 shape (because I liked the sound😊).
Next I played Am using the D shape, then Dm using the E shape and the E major using the G shape.
The melody I added was A minor harmonic scale (Am with a sharp 7) in three different locations on the neck with harmonic tones on String 1 at fr 12 and 5.I managed to use all the CAGED positions somewhere in the composition. This was a great challenge. I thought the CAGED series was fantastic. There was a lot of great information in those lessons.
The painting I showed at the end was done by my wife’s Aunt Brenda. She is so talented and we feel fortunate to have it in our home.
