Practice Arpeggios like THIS - Making Melodic Lines for Jazz Guitar

- For my Presets visit: johnnathancord... In a lesson with Dan, we were talking about approaches to arpeggios and how to make them sound less like an exercise, and more like something you'd want to play during an improvisation, and that actually resolves neatly. Here's my thoughts, some strategies and ideas....
Please let me know if you want me to continue with the lesson type content in the form of a comment or like or something, as it takes a while to produce, so it is encouraging to know if you've found it at all not a total waste of time....

As soon as one stops practicing arpeggios in isolation, connecting chords, the various half-step resolutions become apparent, and linearity a la scales comes back into the equation. Simpler to phrase and voice lead a four note scale than a seven note abstraction
You never cease to amaze me when it comes to your ability to teach. Your playing is always phenomenally good and beautiful. It always brings me joy. As a guitar player, to be able to hear you play…and then have you teach in a way that truly shares your thought process as to how you approach your amazing playing…in such a way that I may have a chance at incorporating it into my way of playing and approaching my guitar…is truly a special gift! Thanks. Sorry for rambling on so long. lol
John, the more I watch your channel, and the more I go backward through your uploads, the more I am astounded at all you are capable of, and all of it played to your ability in a way that always sounds musical and not like some exercise when played in your intros. I just added a separate playlist for your Jazz lessons as I seem to get what you are saying much more easily than most of the jazz lesson videos I have saved to my general jazz lesson playlist. Thanks for being so dedicated and prolific, every morning there seems to be something brand new in my feed from you that recharges me, as opposed to the only other consistent daily content which is from bad news peddling news media outlets. Cheers!
I know I have said this before, but it bears repeating, I liked this video in real life, so I clicked the LIKE button. Please do, all, if you feel the same about any of John's videos. I would love to see John's channel being pushed more and more through the RUclips algorithm, because he most definitely deserves it.
Great stuff! Thanks man. Very useful and clear. Much appreciated.
I cannot say that I am a jazz player (definitely not), but to extend the II V I, I by accident "modulated" my little "composition" between different keys as an experienced player told me. I had/have no idea what is going on.
I like your Sunday Jazz lessons. They are a good source to get curious.
And this warm clean tone is a curiative treatment for my ears.
In Love with that ES-165. Useful content, clear & musical. Thanks for sharing your thought process. More, more, more!
I like your straightforward approach. It's easy to overthink things. Thanks!
What a lovely guitar solo at the start. Was that improvised? Really impressive lyricism if so.
Yeh always improvising on this channel!
After all this time, you think you know what turns you on and the boom, something else is getting it going. Great playing, son.
YES! Jazz baby. Love this, thanks John!
Love your way of natural showing the stuff as you figure it out yourself with some great lines. Definitely useful.
Very tasty licks and well put together lines. Great job!
Saved this one for another look, found this a really useful lesson John. (Also , lovely tones out of that guitar too)
What a pretty ES-175. That is a keeper. Checking and hardware also shows some nice vintage also. Such nice bounce with that Trapazoid Tailpiece.
I love LaBella Flats on those. Perfectly balanced Strings that make all Strings have equal projection. They also nicely give an extra couple of unwound Strings to freshen up and extend their life.
Hey Paul.... I think it's an ES-165 (Herb Ellis model). Pretty much the same as a single pickup ES-175. I think they found the "sweet spot" for pickup placement on these guitars! Cheers -Glenn
Wow, freaking hell. Didn't know it was you. What a channel you built up. I'm definitely sending some subscribers your way, Glenn. John is a great player. Cheers!

I basically use this channel as a library of sorts. Started collecting videos many years ago. Even before I owned a computer! It could probably use some tending to... as it has become kinda' like an overgrown garden. And yes, I enjoy John's playing very much, but it's still relatively new to me.
Great concept; sounds far more musical than the typical arpeggio practice methods I've seen. By the way, the sound quality is very much improved with the introduction of that lav mic, sounds great! I think that's helped make your dialog clean and clear.
Yes, I believe he WAS using a wireless one for quite a while and it broke a few videos back, and in @John Cordy 's inimitable style he hilariously left the moment in the video and you can see him pick it off his collar (in two pieces, if I remember correctly) and fling it out of frame hahaha. I reckon he must have been waiting on the replacement mic to arrive, of late :-)
I'm using the lav mic here - I'm using it almost every video now
Wow That's just fabulous ! Really cool 👍👏
Great post John! More like this please!
Smooth, real smooth, thank you.
Beautiful tone. What kind of reverb are you using, is it a spring reverb? Anything else? A little gain maybe?
Thank you,John⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Love the tone , what effects you are using
Thanks!
Brilliant video - I particularly love your melodic approach and IMO this theme is worthy of development into a series of lessons (on your Patreon page?) eg on Maj II V 1 / I VI II V etc, etc, almost ad infinitum…Hopefully it could develop into a useful income stream for you (online courses etc).
Anyway, very many thanks for whetting my appetite and giving me an intriguing direction.
Nice to meet you too man, great lesson, helped me a lot… but I’m still waiting for you to talk about Cantus Firmus 🤣🤣
I still need to work out how to say it!
I think I’m missing the prerequisite knowledge to truly follow this lesson but this is exactly the kind of thing I’d like more of, personally. Maybe with just some pointers like “look into ____ more if you are just starting out” notes in there.
Wowww great tutorial
Great lesson John! Do you have a similar lesson also for resolving to major?
That approach makes the arpeggios sound so beautiful, musical, emotive, and interesting.
On a different note, what make/kind of polish did you use on your guitar? It is incredibly shiny and reflective - looks pretty nice.
If you have the time, I 'd like to suggest a video on the Mooer GTRS S800 guitar. It is called a Smart Guitar, as it includes a built in Modeler, rechargeable Lithium Battery, headphone jack, and Bluetooth Floor Controller, can be played as a regular electric guitar as well - Impressive set of features at affordable price. With your experience using Modelers, I'm interested in what you think of the built in Modeler, and if it can deliver Pro tones. Thanks
nice work
Great lesson though I am a long way away from truly "getting it" as I'm just starting to practice arpeggios in earnest.
nice tone, what's the best amp to use for jazz on a modeler?
Personally - I use a combination preset which is both a Fender Princeton and a Vox AC30 - both set totally pristine clean
You say in the video - G -7 to Bb7 to A7, yet Bb7 is shown a E-7b5 on the chord chart?
Jazz is 90% confidence
Please tab
Always between 2 chords, never over 1.
my god I can't read sheet music 😭😭😭
