If you're curious about what chords go with what melody notes, or how reharmonization works, then this video should be helpful. Here's what it covers: -You'll hear and see the twelve chords that all harmonize one note (with clear chord diagrams) -You'll hear the chords and melody together in time -And just for fun I solo over the progression, so you'll hear and see what scales work with each chord for improvising. I got this idea from the jazz fusion guitarist, Mike Stern. I went to one of his workshops many years ago and I've been using this technique ever since for improvising, composing, and arranging. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ VIDEO CONTENT OUTLINE (WITH TIMESTAMP LINKS): 0:00 - Intro 0:43 - Video outline 1:24 - Walking through the progression 8:00 - Demonstration in a musical context 9:06 - Improvising over the progression 10:01 - Chord chart download 10:47 - Takeaways and feedback 11:40 - Outro

A few weeks ago I published a lesson on this topic, but I didn't quite break down how to start working on it from the ground up. In this video I use the song "Fly Me to the Moon" and I lay out a crystal clear process for how to start improvising with chord tones at any skill level. If you want to improvise over progressions then this is one of the very best things you can work on. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ VIDEO CONTENT OUTLINE (WITH TIMESTAMP LINKS): 0:00 - Intro (what do Bach and jazz have in common?) 1:29 - Video outline 2:18 - Demonstration of soloing over "Fly Me to the Moon" with chord tones only 3:53 - Chord tone soloing is a foundation 4:48 - How to get started with chord tone soloing 6:44 - Demonstration of soloing on two adjacent strings 8:34 - Step-by-step practice for chord tone soloing 11:03 - Final step 11:53 - Arpeggio shapes pack (free download) 12:32 - Outro

What's the difference between a scale and a melody? The answer is what today's video lesson is about. It's PHRASING! And it's super important.

I demonstrate this skill while soloing over Autumn Leaves. And this isn’t just limited to jazz soloing. This is the core ability that I work on when improvising over chord progressions in any genre. We want to practice what’s often called “chord tone soloing”. This means improvising with chord tones ONLY. And making it sound good 😬 After that, anything else we want to play becomes a million times easier (and even starts to happen naturally). In this video: • I demonstrate chord tone soloing over Autumn Leaves with the chord tone diagram shapes on the screen. • I discuss what makes chord tone soloing, and soloing in general, sound good (it's not the notes!) • And I talk about how we can easily add chromatic notes and scales after having chord tone soloing totally down as a core skill.

This is something I’ve never done before—a full interview with another guitarist/teacher on YouTube. Rob MacKillop is a master guitarist and a grounded musical artist who believes that every musician should have their own individual sound, and even their own technique. We talk about: • The importance of having an outlet for your music • How to balance many musical interests • The history of no-nail guitar playing • How to find your own unique voice in music • Embracing imperfection • And much more I hope you find it inspiring. P.S. I loved chatting with another teacher so much that I may do more of these as a podcast, in addition to my weekly video lessons (which I’ll never stop doing). So if you enjoy this, and if you’d like to hear more interviews with other YouTube guitar teachers, let me know (my email is working again!). ➡ Get my FREE Solo Guitar Arrangement Pack (Sheet Music & TAB) ➡ https://bit.ly/2HdU0mV I hope you enjoyed this interview with Rob MacKillop and found it beneficial.

In this video I walk through seven different elements of the technique that it takes to play classical guitar, no nails style, with just the fingertips. I know this is a pretty niche topic, but there isn't much information on it out there on no nails playing. I think these videos will be a helpful resource as more and more people seem to be interested in playing classical guitar but don't want to deal with having long, delicate fingernails on one hand. Also, learning and creativity feel so much more potent when switching things up and exploring a variety of styles and sounds that can influence each other. For example, while working on the classical guitar without nails techniques featured in today's video, I came up with a simple fingerstyle/solo-guitar arrangement of Autumn Leaves. I'm excited to share that arrangement with you in a few weeks. But I'm getting ahead of myself :) Next week will be the final video on playing classical guitar without fingernails, then I have some fun fingerstyle lessons, and more jazz videos coming up after that. ➡ Get my FREE, amazing chord options chart called ‘Chords with Color’ ➡ https://bit.ly/32UF6cQ ➡ Enjoying my free weekly guitar lessons and interested in giving back?

Rob was very generous. We recorded an hour long interview and it was amazing! BUT most of the audio turned out to be unusable due to an unfortunate error :/ However, some of it was okay, so I grabbed a little piece of it to share with you this week.

I got COVID. It was pretty bad for a couple days but I'm feeling a bit better now. I'm glad to have found the energy to make this lesson for you :) After my "technique mistakes" video from a couple weeks ago I got a few questions about how to train our fingers to stay close to the fretboard and how to deal with the flying pinky guitar problem. I remember when my left hand fingers were flying way off the fretboard when I played. I fixed that problem by consistently doing a simple, specific conditioning exercise. In this video: • I explain what that exercise is • I warn against a common piece of advice that you should actually avoid • And I share how often you should be practicing this exercise and how long it should take until keeping your fingers close to the fretboard becomes second nature If your fingers are flying away from the fretboard when you play then this could really help, and I hope it does. ➡ FREE PDF: Top 3 Pentatonic Scale Patterns for more melodic soloing ➡ https://bit.ly/3lIQujx ➡ Enjoying my free weekly guitar lessons and interested in giving back?

I genuinely believe that turning towards art creates peace in the world. That being said, here's my free weekly lesson for you. It's on how to master jazz comping using many inversions of the same chord so we can play more interactively and melodically while comping in jazz on the guitar. To "comp" in jazz means to "accompany" someone else, but it can also just mean playing the chords of a tune. ➡ Get my FREE Method Booklet - Play any jazz chord with just 8 shapes ➡ https://bit.ly/3msntbe ➡ Enjoying my free weekly guitar lessons and interested in giving back?

The logic of why these chords are called "drop" voicings isn't clear on the fretboard like it is on the piano. No matter how many times I refreshed myself on which shapes on the guitar were drop 2 or 3, it never really stuck. UNTIL I started using this simple trick. In this video I'll explain what drop voicings mean from a guitar fretboard perspective. And I'll show you an easy trick for how to tell if any 7th chord is a drop voicing. I hope you find that it cracks the code on what drop voicings mean once and for all. Let me know what you think in the comments.
