I've had a video call with carlini... amazing privilege And Caroline Wright who wrote the tony rice book And John Pennell who was a founding member of union Station and told me and my partner all about discovering alison Kraus. Pennell and I talked the longest he loves music theory and the Beatles plus I'm British so I guess he saw it as a relevant talking point. John P and I caught eachothers attention online talking about just intonation. I also reached out to Pam rice and Diane and Wyatt all beautiful people. I just was delighted to be given the opportunity to thank them for the opportunity if that makes sense.
13:30 Fun fact: the "spacegrass" G11 is also the opening chord on Tony's cover of "Song For A Winter's Night". Even funner fact: it's not a G11 at all, but this time actually an F/G (same fingering). Is chord theory fun for you yet? :D
This was great! I love chord theory and have often wondered about Tony's spacegrass voicings, as they often don't map onto the more conventional jazz voicings I am used to hearing (like you pointed out). Thanks!
Gents, all this makes so much sense, even to a cranky old marginal mandolin player. So, I’m off to find a rocking chair to see if I can’t lose these thin dime, hard time, hell on Church Street blues.
The answer to the question of whether wuatt knows this stuff is an emphatic yes. He really does know this stuff. People always report the same kinds of things about what it's like to play with him...ya know, when Wyatt shows up to a jam or recording session he has this beat up old tortoise shell pick which looks totally battered and he says "it's just starting to get good" then knocks out a rhythm section on par with Tony's. He is sensitive, solid, creative and knowledgeable and most importantly humble and likeable. And he kinda talks a bit like tony with a gravelly baritone and the same sort of accent. He is a rice brother through and through. ❤
@lukedaymusic4585 Wyatt teaches at Nashville Flatpicking Camp regularly and he is an excellent teacher. He teaches what you want to know. The problem is I know so little it is hard to ask. He is excellent!
Yes he did and he also used them in his composing such as in the B part of “Waltz for Indira”, and another beautiful waltz he wrote for Bill Evans called “Night Coach”.
We should definitely do that! If you want a little insight into how Tony did it, look up my lesson on Swing 51. It's like 5 years old but still has some great info!
Was really good. Hear top and bottom note, then happy or sad in between! But I still feel stupid when I see you playing a Collings and a Bourgoise 😢. Maybe if I try them on my Santa Cruz? 🤔
This is such great content! So awesome to see more of SpaceGrass being talked about and broken down. Loved the voicing options, they were very much a part of T’s sound. @hayesgriffin, thanks for mentioning John! He’s a mentor and good friend of mine and will enjoy seeing this. Keep this content coming!
Thank you so much for making this video, I was just trying to puzzle through what the little chord comping moves where at the end of "Bitter Green" or between the first few verses of "I'm not sayin' " I had such little luck I started ear training and playing piano to learn all those cool chord comping moves. But I would love if you did a video on either of those
I did have some schooling in this stuff, decades ago. Now I think of it as clever/useful ways to get the feel/sound you want. Don't much matter to me what it's called. It may matter to an aspiring pro, who wants to speak intelligently with others, so ya, nerd out man!
Great video, Marcel! I'm always trying to figure out the Tony chords, and I find myself lost about 84.6% of the time. Quick question: Did you get that Bourgeois from Blueridge Guitar Camp? I remember playing one that looks exactly like it, and it's a nuclear power plant of sound! The guitar looks good on you. Merry Christmas! P.S. I love the 2023 BGC sign in the backround!
Awsome stuff, and really broken down well even a mandolin player can understand that.Turns out, the chords are not as harmonically advanced as I always thought. The application, tast and tone, that is another story altogether ...
This is great stuff but I'm prolly older than both of youse guys and I had to stop by about 11:38 and go lie down in a dark room for a while! In the words of the Arnold - "Ill be back!"
This is just A+ content. You are all awesome for making music education as fun and as interesting as you do. Please keep the content coming.
Touché!
Tony had no limitations chordally any chord you can play he done been there Great job guys,Thanks
Yes, you should talk to Carlini!
Love this, been learning a lot of these voicings at school.
I've had a video call with carlini... amazing privilege
And Caroline Wright who wrote the tony rice book

This nerd out was amazing. I’m so here for this type of content. Great work guys!
Amazing lesson. Well done Marcel!
Thanks, guys! Merry Christmas! :)
Tony calls your G11 chord voicing Fadd9/G
This is such a great idea, well done!
13:30 Fun fact: the "spacegrass" G11 is also the opening chord on Tony's cover of "Song For A Winter's Night". Even funner fact: it's not a G11 at all, but this time actually an F/G (same fingering). Is chord theory fun for you yet? :D
Thanks so much for making this video! Blessings Amigo.
Love these chords - also just fun listening to you guys chuckle with each other

Very good.. I’m trying to stay afloat.. Keep it up

Omg, new marcel vid!!!
Great vid by my two fave guitar nerds.
No joke, you all must get John Carlini on a podcast!
That would be killer. I’d love to see Carlini tell the story of how Big Mang came together.
Great vid. Complex. Do you think Wyatt Rice might know some of this? He plays some pretty interesting stuff! Keep at it!
The answer to the question of whether wuatt knows this stuff is an emphatic yes.

great stuff!! keep it up fellas 💪🏼🫡
Thank you so much for this! That is a gorgeous guitar too man!
This is great. If you want to get more down this road look at Ted Green Modern Chord Progressions. NOT Chord Chemistry.
So good. Thank you!
Thank you again
time for a Tonywave revolution
Noice. I would love to hear that.
Didn't Tony sometimes use minor seventh flatted fifth chords briefly when going to the four chord of a tune? Like a Bm7b5 leading to a C7 or C9?
Yes he did and he also used them in his composing such as in the B part of “Waltz for Indira”, and another beautiful waltz he wrote for Bill Evans called “Night Coach”.
8:31- “Where the Quadadd’s Sing”. Great book
Lesson on how you might solo over these secret chords coming soon?!
We should definitely do that! If you want a little insight into how Tony did it, look up my lesson on Swing 51. It's like 5 years old but still has some great info!

Hayes comes in giving strong Jesse Pinkman vibes yo! I love it.

Great listening to y'all, I ditto EminentAndrew's comments. I will be watching the video again so I can better understand drop 2 and drop 3..

Are quadrads used in the quadrad (Crawdad) song?
Awsome stuff, and really broken down well even a mandolin player can understand that.Turns out, the chords are not as harmonically advanced as I always thought. The application, tast and tone, that is another story altogether ...
I wouldn't mind having a lesson from that other guy.
Why cant you guys be my neighbor or something..?no spacegrass nerds round hea
Metal guys & Julian Lage…
This is great stuff but I'm prolly older than both of youse guys and I had to stop by about 11:38 and go lie down in a dark room for a while! In the words of the Arnold - "Ill be back!"
