When we arrange a chord melody, we support every note of a melody with a chord shape. This lets us hear the harmony and the melody at the same time. It’s a lot of fun to work on! In this video, I teach you how to play "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright" on guitar as a chord melody. This tutorial is unique because most others don’t teach you how to play the chords and melody at the same time. The video shows detailed diagrams, sheet music, and tabs that highlight as I play so it’s easy for you to follow along.

Hey 👋 I just posted a video lesson about how to improvise jazz chord melodies. This is a clip from that video, where I explain fundamental information for playing chord melodies. It's cool because we can harmonize almost every note of the major scale with just one chord! I also sneak in a passing chord 😉 If you're interested, you can check out the full video that this clip is from on my channel. https://youtu.be/mOOMx_gOoZ4

Hey!👋 I recently posted a lesson about improvising chord melodies, and I wanted to share a cool clip with you! What I demonstrate in the clip is the end result of all the chord melody practice I explain earlier in the lesson. I think jazz guitar chord melodies have a lovely sound, and being able to improvise with them is really fun! If this topic interests you, you can watch the full video on my channel.

Writing out melodies like this is extremely beneficial even if you already know how to read music. In fact, reading music doesn’t automatically develop the skills this method teaches you.

This method will help you identify and execute what you hear inside your head, improve your sense of relative pitch, and help you remember melodies more easily than before.

Did you ask yourself: How do I handle the chords moving along so fast? Do I really need to outline their chord tones? The answer is definitely not. In this video, I explain how to improvise jazz guitar solos without worrying about quickly changing harmony. We can do so by using an improvisation technique called prolongation. I talk about using prolongation over a 1 6 2 5 chord progression, which is very classic in jazz. Each of those chords take up just two beats, so they change fairly quickly. There are many ways to improvise using prolongation, so in the video, I provide concrete steps to help you practice it from the ground up.

Instead of playing the notes in a chord all at once, we're rolling chords when we roll our fingers from the lowest to the highest note. It's a wonderful technique that can add a lot of expression to your playing in a fingerstyle or classical genre. In the lesson, I go through a series of exercises for rolling chords that are musical and fun to play. With focus and attention, these exercises will make you very confident in rolling chords on guitar. Whether we use nails, no nails, or finger picks, it makes no difference to rolling chords – the technique itself is the same.

In this video, I talk about how to play a guitar solo over simple triads and demonstrate different ways to solo over a 1-6-4-5 progression in the key of E. I just got an email asking about this. Eric says: "Recently, I'm practicing chord tones, and I'm using a simple chord progression like 1-6-4-5 to master basic major and minor triads. The simple chord progression with no extensions makes me curious about how to make a beautiful solo over it, since it's very basic with limited options. If possible, can you please make a video about it?" The main thing that jumps out at me from this question is saying that simple chord progressions limit our options for soloing. Harmony can be simple, but our soloing options are never limited. You can always play anything you want. In this video, in my typical fashion, I break down several steps for how to play a guitar solo over simple chord progressions. Once you’ve practiced and gotten comfortable with the harmony and chords, then you can let go, play, create, and express yourself. I hope you enjoyed this lesson about how to play a guitar solo over simple chord progressions and found it beneficial. Let me know what you thought in the comments.

For many years, I played a ton of gigs on the guitar to make a living. I’ve always been teaching, but for a while, I was making a good portion of my money from playing music gigs. I learned a lot along the way. For this video, I share my top 10 tips for how to make money playing guitar when you get music gigs. I do make a distinction between gigs and shows. If you're playing a show at a venue and you want your friends to come and watch your band, that's a whole different deal. I'm talking about gigs, like playing background music at events. I explain the tips in that context, but all of them will apply to almost any kind of professional music gig that you want to do. Make sure you watch until the end because the main takeaway is very encouraging if you're interested in playing music gigs at all!

Hey! Here's a clip from a video I made about how important it is to have an outlet for your music practice. The idea is: if we practice without milestones that are connected to the outside world, we're going to hit the wall of meaninglessness. ▶️ Check out the video that this clip is from → https://youtu.be/u4sqqvNWHUw #shorts #guitar #guitarpractice #guitarlessons #musicpractice #musicmotivation #sharemusic

In this video, I emphasize the importance of avoiding what I call "the wall of meaninglessness." The wall of meaninglessness is a point where you're practicing a lot and trying hard to get better, but you lose sight of your purpose behind the whole endeavor. I start by sharing a short story about a student of mine who practiced a lot and sounded great, but felt depressed because he hit the wall of meaninglessness. To avoid hitting the wall of meaninglessness, we need to have an outlet for our practice. Later in the video, I go through a list of possible outlets and their benefits. I hope they encourage you and stimulate some ideas! Let me know what you thought in the comments.

Quick note: After next week I’ll be taking a break from the topic of chord melodies, but I’ll continue adding to this series in the future. I want to share an important concept with you in today’s video. Chord melodies, harmonizing melodies with chord shapes, isn’t just for jazz. We can play any melody—nursery rhymes, traditional tunes, pop songs, folk repertoire, country music, anything!—as a chord melody. No matter what kind of music you’re into, this practice allows you to hear the harmony and the melody at the same time on one instrument. To demonstrate this, in this lesson, I arrange a portion of the traditional country song, “Long Black Veil,” as a chord melody. “Long Black Veil” is an excellent example that contrasts the sound of jazz: the melody is based on a pentatonic scale, and the chords are simple I, IV, V triads. The end result is lovely! Let me know in the comments what song you’re inspired to arrange as a chord melody for yourself. I hope you enjoyed this lesson about creating guitar chord melodies and found it beneficial. Let me know what you thought in the comments.
