I'm not using a chord, 67mark, I'm just playing notes from the chord. If I were to flesh it out into a proper chord, it would be the F barre on the first fret.
When I say it's neutral, I mean that
IV chords are 'neutral' (not a musical term) in that they don't herald any subsequent chord change. In the key of C, F is the IV, so I wasn't referring to F really ... I was referring to the function of a IV chord within a key. V chords demand that you return to the I ... IV chords don't care where you go next.
This is all stuff that you needn't worry about if you're just starting out or just wanting to twang away ... it's just for those who are curious about the context of it all. Music is the epitome of context, so it's interesting to some ... I think!
... interesting to me, anyway.
Next week's lesson will shed of bit of light onto this whole subject of chord functions within a key.
