Now how a guitarists chooses to finger a particular chord will depend on ease of play. We play music written for other instruments on the guitar, and whole orchestral scores arranged for guitar. This should not, in general, be driven by whether or not a guitarist can play this or that chord. There is a whole discipline devoted to this. Following the classic approach to harmony theory we strive to create smooth small interval movement from one chord to the next. Ultimately the choice of voicing should be driven by the movement of the voices from one chord to the next. Pretty well all of which point to writer/player choice rather than any technical reasoning. Using 2nd inversion too sweet, need root or 1st (and vice versa). It was the chord used first when writing the song. Voice leading dictates a certain line for the high notes.
Voice leading dictates a certain bass line. It fits well after the previous chord, or before the next. Not come across 'special' voicings, but I tend to shy away from tab!Īs far as reasons why particular voicings are used:Ĭhosen one fits better - in writer's judgement.
#Guitar arranger windows
The open E, or A, or D as examples.Ī lot of the chord windows I've seen in song books just show basic open chords – few of which I ever use – as I tend to find different voicings more appropriate than those simple open versions. There are several chords/voicings which are instantly recognisable when played on guitar – let's face it, there are far more voicings available on piano for any given chord – due to the restrictions of notes available all at once on guitar.
