Great! The tutorial for this one is coming out next week, and I just finished recording an arrangement of Fly Me to the Moon that also has mainly 3-note chord voicings.

@@GodfreyGuitar Looking forward to it!

I’m glad you found this helpful! Most self-taught players tend to dive right into the deep end and make music theory harder than it needs to be. Music theory is a big topic, but it’s a lot easier to tackle if you start with the very basics and build from there.

@@teacherlisa163 thanks for the input. I noticed the same problem on some other rhythm videos I’ve done. I don’t remember which video I started doing this with, but I’ve begun counting one time through so listeners can hear what I’m counting in my head and then continuing without counting out loud so listeners can hear the guitar and metronome more clearly.

Thanks so much! I'm glad you found this helpful.

Yup! That pretty much goes with being a musician in general. I've played tons of background music gigs, and I've always been perfectly happy to sit in a corner, quietly play my guitar, and collect a check.

If you’re just starting to learn jazzier chords, I recommend Three-Note Jazz Guitar Chords. Here’s a link for that: godfreyguitarbooks.com/products/three-note-jazz-guitar-chords To see the sort of thing you would be getting into with that book, here’s a video that goes over shell voicings and how they work. ruclips.net/video/1UdeSgeCvIU/видео.html If you work your way through Three-Note Jazz Guitar Chords, the next step would be Rhythm Guitar Book 3, which covers 4-note versions of the most common jazz chords, plus standard bar chords for major and minor chords. godfreyguitarbooks.com/products/rhythm-guitar-book-3 I also have a free “crash course” on moveable chords you could check out. Here’s a playlist for that (no jazz chords, though). ruclips.net/p/PL7EWn0NDNJx_oi7ovgLXwoNV_dQ83_CtD You can find the accompanying PDF for this at www.godfreyguitarlessons.com/downloads (the 1st Moveable Chords Booklet is in the Tips and Reference Materials section.)

@@GodfreyGuitar hi again. Perhaps jazz up was the wrong term🙃. I would like to embellish my playing and like to play folk tunes. Thank you

@@barbaradeuell Understood! If you’re looking for ways to embellish folk chords, you can start with bass runs (also known as walk-ups and walk-downs). You may already do this, but in case you don’t, here’s a video on bass runs to get you started: ruclips.net/video/9fhOGJ-RonQ/видео.html If you’re looking for ways to expand the range of chords at your disposal, the moveable chord “crash course” I mentioned in the previous comment would be appropriate. ruclips.net/p/PL7EWn0NDNJx_oi7ovgLXwoNV_dQ83_CtD

Starting on saxophone will help you quite a bit! I was a trombone player before I played guitar, so the first few years of playing were spent getting my fingers to catch up with the knowledge I already had. Once you get used to the layout of the fretboard, you'll be off and running.

Thank you!

Agreed!

I have my comments set so that I'm the only one who can post links to avoid spam bots. Can you send a link to me directly? You can go to www.godfreyguitarlessons.com/contact and message me that way. Your online tool sounds interesting, and I'd be happy to check it out and add the link myself.

@@GodfreyGuitar I have sent you some information and link, I hope you find useful, there is no cost, its free, been around a year now, this feature I added for myself to help improvise and in song writing. Kind Regards, Dan

Thank you! I'm glad you find my lessons helpful. I do have a series of theory videos. Here's the playlist for that: ruclips.net/p/PL7EWn0NDNJx90kNaiqF6f-4vVNRKSekFb and I also post a fair number of theory videos. If you're just starting, some of the theory videos might make sense, and some will make more sense later after you've developed more background knowledge. Don't hesitate to ask if you have questions. Oh, and if you're just starting out, this "music theory roadmap" video can help you learn theory concepts in a logical order: ruclips.net/video/PS5Ks3ZhZkI/видео.html

@@GodfreyGuitar thankyou soo much

@@dipeshsunar1931 My pleasure!

Thank you!
