What makes a chord family?
A-family chords are open chords, which means they contain open strings (strings that you play without pressing down any notes). ... The basic chords in the A family are A, D, and E. Each of these chords is what's known as a major chord. Take a look at the fingering for the basic chords in the A family.
What are modal interchange chords?
Modal interchange, sometimes called modal mixture, is a guitar technique through which you combine chords from parallel scales. ... For example, the A major scale and the A minor scale are parallel. Because the tonic pitch remains the same with modal interchange, it isn't considered a key change.
How do you make a modal chord?
For instance, you can play low E on every four beats, and then play around with the notes of an E mode, such as E Mixolydian. For a broader application, you can play a vamp. A modal vamp will return to the tonic chord often.
