As always a great lesson. I use this style a lot, especially when incorporating bass lines. I'm back studying with Peter and learning quite a bit. I consider myself a good musician - guitarist and it's amazing how much more I need to learn. As most of you know this is a lifetime study if not it is and go practice no matter how long you; 've been playing. Michael
I beg to differ. Freddie Green always held the guitar almost horizontal, allowing the back-plate to resonate freely as he sat cross legged, (left leg over right) to support the guitar purely by the edges of the rims. This helped tremendously with his projection and voice and is an integrally important approach to re-creating the Freddie Green sound - why is no-one on the internet mentioning this?? His right hand attacked the strings almost perpendicularly, focusing strongly on strings 3 and 4. He bounced back and forth between strumming close to the neck and closer to the bridge to give a 2 & 4 accent. He rarely sits on a single chord voicing for more than a couple of beats using inversions and passing chords to harmonise the chromaticism of the walking bass line. Perhaps you could include these kind of details in a follow-up lesson as this video is seemingly very introductory. Oh and he used a heavy pick.
You have made correct observations. The video I made was an introductory lesson as many of my viewers have never done or are just starting out strumming "four to the bar" . I have seen some advanced videos on F.G.. Perhaps a video series on guide tones is in order. Thank you for your input.
Yeah, strumming four to the bar well isn't as easy as it sounds. The way Freddie used guide tones would be an interesting video as this was often symbiotic with the horn players..
William -just saw this. Thank you for your attention. Get yourself in a guitar duo playing standards and use these voicing backing up the soloist! Once you get comfortable look into playing iin big band !
Nice video. I learned all the shell chords through the four note rhythm chords. You just drop the 2nd string and the number of fingerings drops to around six.
Thank you for your attention. The guitar has .013 bronze strings, was refretted by master luthier Leroy Aiello with original thin fret wire from Jimmy D'Aquisto's shop. The guitar has a thin top which adds to it's clarity. And it was made in 1952! I believe the pick I am using is a D'Andrea heavy model 347. Good fortune on your search for your tone.
I just saw this - thank you for your attention. The box has .013 bronze strings, is a carved top 1952 Gibson L5, and it was tweaked by Aiello Guitars in NJ.USA. Some guiars cannot handle heavy strings -check with a professional luthier.
Also differ on coupla pts. Although Freddie doesn’t always do it .. alternate where u strum: neck 1 & 3, bridge 2 & 4. In bass & do context just sound the functional guide tones. Will take this example & apply this
Just saw this! Thank you for watching. You are correct- I will offer more information in a later video. My producer limits my time --ha--he says viewers lose focus! Hopefully not you! Be well.
no pictures of your cat or dog .... honest e.mail ... too conservative of a guy ... so funny man , good spirit and great talent . the progression you play in the beginning is beautiful!
Yes -the Gypsy -players use the 6th on both Major chords and many minor chords. However when playing the Classic American Songbook guitarists mainly play all down strums, and the Major 6th chord is used frequently along with the Major7th chord. The voicings, even though in the background, should have their own life and beauty.

I took lessons from Pete for about 5 years. Everything he taught me I still use on on gigs and sessions. Highly recommended teacher! Thanks Pete!!!!
Thank you Hot Rod ! You are the gig master!
Thanks for the appreciation! I hear good things about you!

Thanks for the words. More Freddie Green chords and style to come... Stay tuned.
I have tons of things to learn myself. Keep Pushing!
The right hand demo is worth its weight in gold.
Talk about a hidden Gem, you have fantastic videos, love your voicings, very lyrical.
Well thank you for your attention. Best of good fortune to you.

Love it, Peter! Thanks for continuing to inspire!

Very good lesson ❤❤❤😊
Awesome! Now I just need to get that tone😄

how nice !!!!!!
Thank you..... more videos on the way.
Maravilloso!
Hello Lolo Peter it's me Victor
Great lesson. However using the full 6th voicing really gives it more of a gypsy jazz sound.
Yes -the Gypsy -players use the 6th on both Major chords and many minor chords. However when playing the Classic American Songbook guitarists mainly play all down strums, and the Major 6th chord is used frequently along with the Major7th chord. The voicings, even though in the background, should have their own life and beauty.
Hooked!
Thank you ....I will soon have more videos up for viewing.
dude comps fine, but has no groove or soul
