Lesson Description:
This week's lesson is a comprehensive rootless voicings guitar tutorial, all about rootless chords for guitar players. Rootless voicings are super fun and understanding them can majorly broaden how we view the fretboard. Several application examples and plenty of easy-to-follow diagrams are included so you can clearly see and hear what's going on. I talk about rootless jazz chords as well as how rootless chord voicings can be used in the context of songwriting in more of a pop style. In one example you'll see how one single chord shape can be used as FIVE different chords. I hope you enjoy and have a lovely week full of creativity.

Rootless voicings and rootless chords will come in very handy if you’re playing with a bass player, but knowledge of them also just simply helps us see how much chords overlap with each other, which is helpful for mastering the fretboard.
I hope you enjoyed this lesson and found it beneficial. Let me know what you thought. Thanks! :)
