Generally, the bigger
the band or the more players at the jam, the less you play. In those situations it is not important
how often you shine, but that when you do, to shine brightly. To do that, you need some tools and Matthieu Brandt's Guitar Lab: Triads
and Hendrixian Double Stops allows you to develop those tools quickly and easily.
Check out the video introduction below for more details on this insightful course:
VIDEO INTRODUCTION
In a band rehearsal and at a jam there are
often other chord instruments, so arranging an interesting guitar part for yourself can be somewhat
of a puzzle. You need to find your spot in the groove and deal with whatever another guitar player
is laying down. Maybe there's a piano player, organ player or keyboard player at the jam. They tend
to take up a lot of harmonic space. And let's not forget the bass down low and the singer and
soloist up high. You don't want to step on their toes.
 Triads on adjacent strings in close
proximity will make this a walk in the park. And with Hendrixian double stops you'll be able
smoothly color your backup part, weave in and out between all the different instruments in the band.
This fresh look at the fret board will also give you your target notes for strong solos. Using this
approach will make you feel like you're soloing all night long.
The master of this style of backup / solo playing is of course Jimi Hendrix. Hendrix style
of backup playing in songs like 'Castles Made of Sand', 'Electric Ladyland', 'Wind Cries Mary', and
'Little Wing' actually originated in the Soul Music of the 60's. Players like Curtis Mayfield,
Cornell Dupree and Steve Cropper used to play this intricate triad based double stop style in
arrangements backing up horn players in larger band settings. Often these bands would feature an
organ player and multiple guitar players. Hendrix took it to another level using this soulful
playing in a power trio, weaving double stop lines between and beneath his vocals throwing in
triads, sometimes only hinting at the underlying harmony.
ABOUT THE GUITAR LESSON PLAN
Over 6 Hours of Interactive Video Guitar Instruction
 The first part of this course will give you the theoretical backbone of the triadic
system. It's a fresh look at the fret board, which will be used in about 20 different songs in the
second part of the course.
In the last part we'll dig deep into Hendrix' challenging style
of accompaniment / solo. We'll be playing through a number of songs in a rock/pop band rehearsal and
study how you can create interesting triadic guitar parts when there's another guitar player, a
Hammond organ player and a singer present.
We'll also look at a smaller setting with an
acoustic guitar and an electric guitar, showing you several arrangement options for different
grooves.
Jaco Benckhuijsen is a seasoned piano player and award winning arranger from
Amsterdam in The Netherlands. Together we'll play through a number of typical piano grooves and show
you how you can put triads and Hendrixian double stops to work in these 'thick' arrangements.
All the breakdowns of the examples feature chord grids on the screen, for your convenience.
