4.6 Chord Voicing 37

4.6 Chord Voicing

On the guitar, there are usually many different ways to play the same chord. Each of these positions

or voicing sounds differently and suits different musical styles. The speciﬁc voicing chosen by

Strum for a chord depends on the Type parameter from the Chord section of the interface. One can

choose between three types of chords:

• Open Chords. These are chords played with a combination of fretted notes and open strings.

These chords are usually played only within the ﬁrst three frets of the fretboard. Open chords

are easy to play and extensively used when playing folk music. Note that all chords do not

necessarily have an open position on the guitar.

• Movable Chords. These chords do not use open strings. As a result they can be moved

along the fretboard of the guitar allowing one to easily play the same voicing in different

tonalities. This type of chords includes barre chords which are obtained by using one ﬁnger to

press down multiple strings across the fretboard. Movable chords always use the maximum

possible number of strings and are therefore useful to play arpeggios. Furthermore they allow

one to play the same arpeggio patterns in different keys.

• Drop Chords. These are four note chords which allow for fast and subtle movement between

chords. The positions used by Strum are based on drop 2 and drop 3 chords. These chords

are obtained by dropping the second or third voice of a chord down one octave. Chords

played on the keyboard with three notes will always be played on three strings by Strum. If

the chord contains 4 or more notes, the corresponding voicing will always be played on four

strings. This type of chord sounds lighter and is extensively used in jazz.

• Powerchords A power chord, also known as ﬁfth chord, consists in a note and another one

a ﬁfth above. In other words it is like a triad without the third. Powerchords are extensively

used in rock music especially with highly distorted sounds as including the third usually

results in unpleasant frequency components in the distorted sound. They are also easy to

play. In powerchord mode, any chord played on the keyboard which contains a natural ﬁfth

will be played with 3 notes: the root, the ﬁfth and the octave. If the chord does not include

a ﬁfth only the root and the octave are played. If the chord is inverted on its ﬁfth, the power

chord played by Strum is also inverted and the notes played in the following order: ﬁfth, root

and octave.

In addition to these voicing categories, the voicing can be made more precise by specifying

what should be the lowest note of the chord played by Strum:

• Lowest. The lowest note in the guitar voicing chosen by Strum is the lowest note played

on the keyboard. This type of voicing is useful if it is necessary that the bass of the chord

sequence follows a speciﬁc movement.

• Root. The lowest note in the guitar voicing chosen by Strum is the root of the detected chord.

It is very common for guitar chords to have the root in bass position. This choice of chord
