Chords for Arabic guitar patterns/licks/chords | Phrygian dominant - Lee Wrathe

_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ basically it's just harmonic minor.
[Ab] It's stuff that I do all the time really.
So
let me, rather than bang on about the theory, there's [G] plenty of theory stuff on
my channel, let me just actually show [F] you some shapes.
I've got two
cameras set up so you should be able to see what the left hand is doing [G] and
right hand's doing, plus listen to me banging on about it as well at the same
time.
So [Gb] let me give you an example of it first so you know what I'm talking about.
It's this [B] kind of stuff.
_ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [G] _
It's quite simple really.
You've got the same thing
[E] repeated over octaves with three different shapes.
So [Gb] let me break it down
a little bit for you.
The first thing to play is kind of a power chord which is
from a B, so B5 if you like.
[B] So we're looking at the second fret on the A
string [G] and then with your third or probably your third, probably best to use your third, but if you
can't do the stretch do your little finger.
With your third finger on the
fourth fret on the D [B] string you've got those two notes there.
See that in the
camera?
_ And then if you stick your pinky [Ab] underneath [Gb] your third finger then you
get that octave [Abm] as well.
So that's the fourth fret on the G string [Em] and then you
want the open notes to sit underneath it, the B and the E.
[Ab] So we're not hitting the
bass note here, we're not hitting the E, just from the A string [B] down. _
_ _ That's the first shape.
What I'm doing is I'm moving the first [Bm] finger
up and [Gb] then off to the A and then back to the B which is [B] the second fret. _
And then you can come up with your own little pattern with that. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ And I like to use
sort of compound times because they [G] sound more kind of Arabic and different
to the typical 4-4 stuff that you get in the Western music.
[Gb] So yeah, just adds a
bit more flavour.
That's in 9 I think. _ _ _ _
_ [G] So have a go at that rhythm if you want but
that's the basic premise behind it.
And then what I'm doing is I'm taking three
different shapes and moving them around.
Let me show you those two, those three in
fact.
And the first one to have a go at [Ab] is the fourth fret on the D string, _ fourth
fret on the G string and then the fourth fret on the [B] B string. _ _
[N] You can play them
with individual fingers if you like or you can bar them, whichever feels easier.
[Ebm] And then you can [C] play that a fret higher.
[B] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [B] So that's shape one [Cm] if you like.
[B] _ _ [Ab] So mixing
the two together from the original kind of rhythmical stuff and then that you
[Gb] get this. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] You don't have to nod your head like that if you don't [Gb] want to. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] Anyway you get the
idea.
And then all we're going to do is we're going [Gm] to repeat that [Ab] _
tonality if
you like further up the fretboard.
So this time we're playing half of a B
major bar chord if you like.
[B] So we're going to go from the ninth fret on the D
string, _ then the eighth fret on the [Eb] G string and then the [Ab] seventh fret on the [B] B
string.
_ _ _ _ And [Ab] then we're going to move that up a [C] semitone.
[B] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Ab] And you're mixing and
matching all three [B] now so you get _ the _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
idea.
And then the [B] next bit again is just
an octave of those and it's in this kind [Gb] of, if you think about your caged shape,
we're up at the kind of D [B] shape here.
_ _ _ _ _ [Abm] And that is the 11th fret on the G [G] string and
then the 12th fret on the B string _ [B] and then the 11th fret on the E string.
And it's kind of, [G] if you know how to play an open D major chord, _ it sounds like the
Warner Brothers theme doesn't it?
_ The beginning of [B] it.
Anyway that's the shape
and then you're moving [G] that up by a semitone.
_ [B] _
_ [C] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
[Abm] And all those shapes belong and
sit within [G] E harmonic minor.
So there we are, that's a really quite a simple
_ little rhythmical thing to have a go at really.
[Ab] Once you get the idea around the
shapes that you're moving around, it's really quite simple to try out [G] and have
it just have a go at the rhythmical element of it really and just make
something up [Ab] that you like the sound of.
So stay tuned to the channel, there's
going to be loads and loads of new [Abm] stuff coming up.
So keep watching, [N] thanks for
watching and hopefully I'll see you again soon. _
