Sound Modern & Sophisticated With This One Chord | Fusion Guitar Hack

INSTANT FUSION with this JACK OF ALL TRADES Maj7b5 chord As we start exploring chord progressions in different genres of music like Fusion and Progressive Rock we come to a point where we want to create these special sophisticated sounds ourselves. Exploring Jazz guitar and Jazz chords for guitar is a very good start, but Fusion drifts away from Jazz in the sense that it doesn’t always comply to conventional music theory and rules. In Fusion everything goes really. In this guitar tutorial I will show one of the “tricks” to sound modern and Fusion like. For that we’ll use jest one chord: the maj7b5 chord. By superimposing this chord over different bass notes in a educated way we’ll get very beautiful and very typical Fusion and Progressive Rock style sounds that guitarists as Plini use for instance. I wish you tons of fun with this Fusion/Prog Rock guitar lesson! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Please support this channel by engaging: like, comment, subscribe (with notifications on ;), become a Patreon or visit my e-book store to just take a look! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - **E-BOOK: ** https://qjamtracks.myshopify.com/prod...
