Just practice cycling through these chords, adding in your own rhythm, and you should be able to come up with something nice.<\/p>\n<h2>Neo Soul Chords: Extensions<\/h2>\n<p>But to spice it up, let&#8217;s go beyond the octave.<\/p>\n<p>Consider the notes of the E natural minor scale again:<br \/>\n<img src='https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=E,Fs,G,A,B,C,D,E&#038;color=&#038;size=2' alt=\"neo soul chords e minor scale\" border=0 \/><\/p>\n<p>An &#8220;octave&#8221; is what you get when you start on E and play this scale up to the next E. <\/p>\n<p>So E to E is the distance or interval of an &#8220;octave&#8221; (just like 12 inches might be known as a foot). <\/p>\n<p>But what happens if you keep going? What happens if you start on E, pass the next E (an octave) and arrive at F#?<\/p>\n<p>Remember when we numbered the scale? Let&#8217;s keep our numbers going:<\/p>\n<div class=\"productinfo\">E is 1, F# is 2, G is 3, A is 4, B is 5, C is 6, D is 7, E is 8 (octave)<\/p>\n<p>F# is 9, G is 10, A is 11&#8230;<\/p><\/div>\n<p>*With extended minor chords, we could keep numbering this scale, but you&#8217;ll find that we hardly go passed the 11th degree. This is not the case for extended major and dominant chords, which commonly use the 13th degree (aka &#8211; &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/need-a-dominant-13th-sound\">Dominant 13th chords<\/a>&#8220;).<\/p>\n<p>What would our 3-chord progression sound like with an added 9? (That&#8217;s the F# from the next octave).<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s see:<\/p>\n<p>E minor 9:<br \/>\n<img src='https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=E,G,B,D,Fs&#038;color=&#038;size=2' alt=\"neo soul chords e minor 9\" border=0 \/><\/p>\n<p>B minor 9:<br \/>\n<img src='https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=B,D,Fs,A,Cs&#038;color=&#038;size=2' alt=\"neo soul chords b minor 9\" border=0 \/><\/p>\n<p>A minor 9:<br \/>\n<img src='https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=A,C,E,G,B&#038;color=&#038;size=2' alt=\"neo soul chords a minor 9\" border=0 \/><\/p>\n<h2>Neo Soul Chords &#038; Inversions<\/h2>\n<p>A chord inversion is how you arrange a chord.<\/p>\n<p>Simply put, the number of notes in the chord dictates how many ways you can rearrange the chord (assuming all notes are being represented&#8230; but as you get into chord voicings, you&#8217;ll realize there are a ton more ways to &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Voicing_(music)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">voice<\/a>&#8221; your chord by adding, subtracting, skipping\/dropping notes, and more).<\/p>\n<p>[Tweet &#8220;A chord inversion is how you arrange the notes of a chord.&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s try the same chord progression but rearrange the notes so that they are closer:<\/p>\n<p>E minor 9:<br \/>\n<img src='https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=E,D,Fs,G,B&#038;color=&#038;size=2' alt=\"playing by ear - c major\" border=0 \/><\/p>\n<p>B minor 9:<br \/>\n<img src='https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=B,A,Cs,D,Fs&#038;color=&#038;size=2' alt=\"playing by ear - c major\" border=0 \/><\/p>\n<p>A minor 9:<br \/>\n<img src='https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=A,G,B,C,E&#038;color=&#038;size=2' alt=\"playing by ear - c major\" border=0 \/><\/p>\n<p>Note that we didn&#8217;t add any notes.
