12 Days of Music: - Day 5 & 6 Talk Music

Welcome Fellow Musicians,

I hope that you all are enjoying the 12 Days of Music. Today, this is going to be a quick post and we are going to tie in Day 5 and 6 and talk about "Talk Music". Talk Music is essentially fill-ins or chord changes when someone is talking. You would play this in the background. This adds a nice element to the mix.

Some of the movements that I find quite interesting are simple but can add alot of edge when necessary. Down below are some examples

1-3-4-5-1
2-6
4-5-6

Let's look at my favourite example

1-3-4-5-1 progression in the Key of Eb

One Chord (Eb)

Eb-Bb/C-F-Bb -------->Another option to play the one chord if you want to change it just raise it a half step

Three Chord (G)

G/F-Bb-Eb

Four Chord (Ab)

Ab-Eb/G-Bb-C-Eb

Five Chord (Bb) -------->This may be a stretch

Ab-C-Eb-G/Ab-C-Eb-Bb

INSTANT SOLOS

Start off on the 5 which is Bb and play around with the Eb Major and Blues Scale

This is also be a cool groove to play at offering or just with a bunch of friends as well.

Try it and tell us what you think.
