  • @Zorax2144
    @Zorax2144 2 года назад +205

    another thing, closed 7th voicings are known to be very difficult or sometimes impossible on guitar, so if you're going for a convincing guitar effect, maybe open the voicings more. So instead of CEGB for a major 7th, you have CEBG or something like that. space between the notes helps to sell the effect. this is because guitar strings are tuned a fourth apart (with 1 exception.)

    • @eriksteverman
      @eriksteverman 2 года назад +9

      Damn a fourth a part??? I didn’t know this, good looks homie

    • @hahahaetc.6983
      @hahahaetc.6983 2 года назад +7

      ye, I think its good to try and match the voicings that would be available to actually play on guitar. so I would just set my open EADGBE first and then "fret" them around as needed, then remove the ones I didnt "strum"

    • @NarendraU23
      @NarendraU23 2 года назад +9

      True. I learned this when my guitarist friend consulted me about chord progression. After I gave him some ideas he had trouble playing it, because my chords are based on piano playing. Took him a minute to rearrange the notes to his liking.

    • @ghastlyshimmer
      @ghastlyshimmer 2 года назад +9

      That's why I program in "riffer" (ample sounds built in) rather than in piano roll. Since in riffer it plays like what guitarist would do.

    • @Lentreeo
      @Lentreeo 2 года назад

      Great tip!

  • @qlyde
    @qlyde 2 года назад +42

    Also try spreading out the chord voicing around 2-3 octaves. Guitar strings are spread out by 5-6 semitones, you can't play traditional piano chords on a guitar because you can't play 2 notes on the same string, at the same time. You can also repeat any of the Root, 3rd or 5th notes in a higher octave because guitar chords are usually more than 3 notes and the shapes typically have repeating notes spread out an octave to fill it out. Normally an extension like a 7th or 9th will be only 1 note in the chord though. Just mess around with your midi chords, spread them out and it'll sound a lot more realistic than traditional piano shapes.

    • @kiillabytez
      @kiillabytez Год назад

      The extraordinary thing about the guitar is that you can play the same note in multiple positions on the neck. For instance, an e, (4th string, 2nd fret) is the same note and pitch as (5th string, 7th fret) AND 6th string, 12th fret).

      Honestly, there are so many things in ableton suite that a lot of people don't use because they just google plugins instead of trying to actually learn all of the ways to use the software they paid real money for. It's really refreshing to challenge yourself by forcing yourself to use only stock plugins and learn to make the fullest out of your choice of daw.
