I’m gonna take a stab at answering this but typically the "4th’ note you are referring to is usually the bass note played in addition to the chord. So if you think in terms of playing a piano, you have your right hand playing the "chord’ or three notes and then your left hand is playing the 4th note which is also referred to as the bassline.
if you are curious to know ‘WHY’ this is done, try playing a c major chord (C, E, G) with and with out a 4th note lowered two octaves and see if you can hear the difference.
Hope thats answers your question!
Yes correct the bassline note,is it just a matter of trial and error when choosing the correct bass note to play.Thanks for your answer too.
bryan,I was just wondering did i miss previous videos,on how to use the bass note.
