This is the type of two chord stab you often hear guys like Chick Corea or Herbie Hancock play. On Piano, this
type of thing is typically played by a pianist with the right hand and left hand alternately striking counter-accents,
typically off the beat. Of course on guitar we could do it with two hands two ala stanley jordan but I will leave the
two handed playing up to you! ??.


The harmony is based on diatonic 4th triads in the key of G Major and you can use this over any diatonic chord in
that key. The demo is over an Am7 but you can use it over almost anything in the key of G such as Am7-D7 or even
use it up a minor 3rd to play over Am7b5-D7b9.


I tried this a variety of different ways such as one note in the "right hand" and two notes in the "left hand" or two
notes in "each hand" but this one seemed like a good basic introduction to the technique.

Hey Jack,

With diatonic 4th chords, given their multi-function ambiguity, do you have one voicing that serves as a defacto I chord?

His final chord is commonly used as the tonic chord. A major 6/9 chord is also common.
