Hate Interval Exercise for Jazz Guitar? Just wait...




I have laid out conventional intervals (here). But, there are more!

A tritone is defined in music theory as three adjacent whole tones. In the video, Mary starts with A-B, B-C#, C#-Db where A-Db is the tritone. Moving across the next in fourths, A-D, the next tritone is D-G#. Where this pattern changes is from the G-B strings (4-5) where the fingering pattern is different but the tritone is still C-D, D-E, E-F#. The fingering is easy 1-2 except from the g-b string who is 1-3..

Skipping a string, same notes, the fingering is 4-(1-)

When Mary plays stacked triotones, she plays A-Db, Db-A, A-Db with fingering 1-2-3-4 on adjacent strings. This is an interesting sound because there are only two notes A and Db an octave apart. On the A-string, the fingering is 1-2-3-(4+) and on the D string the fingering is 1-2-(3+)-4.

Sous le Soleil







Notes

How to Play on Guitar






Lyrics

Sous le soleil (In the sun)

Allongée au soleil (Lying in the sun)
Mon coeur s'éveille (My heart comes alive)
Au frisson de plaisir (To the chills of pleasure)
Ne plus partir (Don’t leave again)
Ne plus partir (Don’t leave again)
(more)
