It's about quality Tim - not quantity! Your stuff is brilliant and we love it man.
This is Gold. Thank you for selflessly sharing this with the world. People would charge $100s for this. But thank you. You have a big heart !
My favorite guitarist ever since I discovered him a few years ago.
Thank you! I really dislike this tedency most guitar channels are tending towards now days. These really disingenuous thumbnail titles like "The only lick you'll ever need" or "Probably the only guitar video you'll ever need" etc. I really dislike that approach, and its insulting to one's intelligence. You're probably my favorite youtube guitar channel, and your honesty is one reason why. Would this be the tenets of tha dharma shining through?
Tim - this is a truly great lesson, and you're making that Collings I-30 LC sound fantastic.
Great one. This'll keep me busy for . . . weeks . . . . months?
Very instructive, Tim, thank you. :))
Another outstanding contribution from my favorite Accidental RUclipsr.
Great lesson! Thanks!
I think it's safe to say that most of us are here because we really like your brilliant playing, your calm demeanor, and the wisdom you impart. I've got enough clickbait in my feed. Your stuff is a zen refuge from all the noise. BTW - I really enjoyed your "That Pedal Show" appearance!
I looked at those, but instead sprang for an Eastman T-185 ...has solid woods, abbreviated center block that supports the bridge, ebony board (yes!) wider neck and 25" scale. AND, it was under $1,500! I can use that $5,000 somewhere else., and the Eastman swings like mad.
Hi Tim, just discovered you , subscribed moments later...Fabulous! As you know who would say "uh-huh-huh-huh-huh" ( I hope I'm the first to make that terrible pun.)
Just finished watching you on "That Pedal Show". I'm subscribed and already ordered your Melodic Chord Dictionary. Looking forward to going through your YT catalogue and searching out your music.
Same I’m here from that pedal show
My ears crossed a threshold, and there’s no turning back! Thx
yet gets 25k views in 7 days. Effortless
10:12 Everything you describe here applies equally "in the bedroom". Many people fail to understand this.
Great exercise, thk you so much.
Magic made accessible!!
Don't worry, Tim, it is so great to know where to find you because your teaching is extraordinary!
I got here from d&m show good to be here
je vous suis aussi souvent que je peux,malgres que mon anglais soit médiocre mais je vous comprends suffisemment bien ,vous etes le meilleur ,une autre approche du jazz et du blues et comment intégrer les chromatismes dans votre jeu ; j'ai beaucoup appris avec vous merci infiniment.
What a great lesson. Thank you!
Great lesson Tim, thank you very much. These variations are beautiful. Tim R.
I searched RUclips for "Tim Lerch Autumn Leaves" and found two videos from previous years.
Autumn Leaves Solo Guitar ruclips.net/video/LJbE6t_XjWk/видео.html
Autumn Leaves Improvisation ruclips.net/video/18dZH4K6T0w/видео.html
I'm posting the links for anyone else wanting to see your previously recorded arangements.
See u in Rotterdam sir😊
This is great! I particularly like the chromatic, 2 note per chord exercise... It's a little more forgiving. And is giving a starting point to hear/find some full passing chords.
This one concept will change the way you comp forever! - there's your clickbait title hah! But truly, these exercises really quickly open up new sounds and break you out of your learnt shapes. My accompaniments sound instantly more musical. I'm looking forward to exploring this more. Thanks Tim!
Very nice and interesting. Look forward for more. Thanks for the share.
Great stuff thank you
Ohhh I know this trick from lenny.. but I never got the Idea to do it with a jazz standards chors progression 🤦♂️
thanks tim
I just tried to buy TL Merch. but it's not accepting my telephone number. I'll try again tomorrow when chat is available.
I’m sorry for your trouble. I don’t know anything about that site except that I occasionally Design some new T-shirt I haven’t heard of anybody else having trouble finding things though, so good luck finding a solution…
Thanks Tim- I started watching your videos back in October and I remember feeling like you were speaking another language completely. I really hit the books hard in terms of theory as a began learning jazz since then and while I can’t apply everything in real time yet I understand everything you’re saying in the videos. I remember being completely lost when you would say “D9-also know as F#min7b5 with a b13”.
Thanks for all the great content!
I started getting back to this exercise after seeing it at the pedal show. You also mentioned this in one of your courses if I recall but this seems much more thorough. Thanks Tim!
Great lesson!
Great lesson!
I find this really fascinating and challenging stuff…..anybody interested in it should really buy Tim’s book The Melodic Jazz Guitar Chord Dictionary (…and no I’m not being sponsored for plugging it!)….there’s hours of pleasure and development to be found there 👍🍷.
grande
You rock! huge fan! I try to absorb as much of your knowledge especially since you are a student of the late great Ted Greene...
An excellent concept for developing chord melody abilities.
🤯 so cool!
I like ya!
sounds like you want to sing, you should do it
super nice Tim thanks! , just discovered my new favorite teacher!
For your next video, I humbly suggest using "Do Nothing Until You Hear From Me" for a chord melody, fluid harmony lesson preferably on the Tele. I can already hear you play it in that eloquent bluesy unique style of yours!
Great suggestion!
God thats beautiful!! What a great lesson! Ill spend some time on this one. Weeks probably. Thank you!
Bless you and many thanks for sharing!
Thanks Tim so much, wonderful lesson!
This is really a good lesson! (from a guy who looks more like a fly fisherman than a maestro lol)
I thought I would just get buried if I asked it on that pedal shows video, but I wanted to ask what, if any pedals do you use, or have you used? Love both videos. Your explanations in that pedal show video were so amazing. Eye opening.
I have a small pedalboard with a Korg, tuner an RC booster a barefoot honeybee, or a free the tone red jasper and I have a flint for tremolo and reverb in the past. I’ve had more things, but this is what I’ve pared it down to.
I don’t use this board very often, only when I’m playing louder things, blues, funk etc.
this is great, just what I need to improve my comping. Thanks Tim.
Hey Tim, love your content. I loved your interview with that pedal show!
Was just about to say the same thing
I ABSOLUTELY GIGGLED ON THAT BIG PAUSE TOWARD THE END (12:06). Silence can just as powerful as notes or chords!!!! You, good Sir, smash it. Thank you for the video.
I love your work Timothy. Great.
Your playing at the 12 minute mark gave me chills and made me a bit emotional. Thankyou.
Thanks, Tim. I always enjoy your videos. Best wishes from the San Francisco Bay Area.
Wow! That just blew my mind! Would you suggest using your book to look up chords that have specific notes "on top" (I remember you said that's a new idea you came up with for the book; I saw the Table of Contents)... Would that be a good way to use the book, or should we finish learning as many voicings as we can (not too many, just enough to be able to do this [I played 30 yrs by ear-- but very good: classic rock-- I was in a Jimi & Zep cover band for 6 yrs throughout high school & part of college, & Gene Vincent, Stray Cats, ... then I fell in love with Zappa's music and couldn't play it by ear... so took jazz drumming lessons to understand the polyrhythms...)
I haven't played the last 13 years, but have studied intensely, starting with Machaut & Bach...
Now, after 13 years being stuck shut, my fretting hand has opened. (Thank you to my late teacher/mentor Grandmaster Yuen for opening my hand.)
I go to sleep every night studying theory and visualizing myself playing.
Taylor made me the second electric Baby Taylor they ever made-- me and Lindsey Buckingham, so I could continue to play as much as possible (that was years ago, before the 3/4 craze).
But Tim, I picked up that guitar and the muscle memory from gently practicing jazz chord voicings using my right forearm as the fretboard about 4 nights a week the past 13 years is there.
Also. My friend Mr Vai taught me a warmup exercise to visualize; I taught myself it forwards, backwards, in 4/4; then forwards & backwards in 3/4 & 5/4. It's crazy confusing-- but the muscle memory was there, too. And I played it on the Baby T.
So, would you suggest I continue to visualize the intervals and chords voicings from, ex Steve told me the #1 book to study was Chord Chemistry. That was 13 years ago. That opened up hundreds of new ways of looking at the fretboard.
Sorry this is so long-- with the spine injury, it's difficult to make a point.
Would it be beneficial to use your book or would that be like cheating. Perhaps this was the reason you laid out the chords in your book in such an interesting way?
The reason I ask: I want to make sure I totally understand the voicings...
Maybe I'm overthinking this.
I love and appreciate your teaching, Tim. I started as a drummer at age 5 in 1975, listening to my dad's Gene Krupa lps. Then fell in love with the guitar at age 7.
I WILL play again 100%... I learned the 3-4 note jazz chords so I could fret them because barring would be impossible.
Thank you!
(I love learning from your TrueFire lessons. Thank you again!)

Hi Donna, thank you for your lovely note. It sounds like your intuition is guiding you well. The trick for this lesson is to see (visualize) the basic chord in the progression and yet be able to change the top note to suite the “rules of the game”. My book organizes chords by quality and the melody note so if you need to, you can look something up easily. It’s also good to try to do it with logic and by ear. Just take a simple chord progression and send the top note up the scale. What will happen is that you’ll start to see the basic chords in the progression as they move up the neck but with a degree of flexibility so you can get the melody note to rise or fall according toy “the rule” mostly, I hope you’ll have fun and explore sounds that are possible first in simple n in more creative ways as your hands and ears continue to expand.
@@TimLerchGuitar Thank you, kindly, Tim. I forgot to mention, that I play these voicings with my good hand on My Piano app, so I am hearing the difference: hearing is definitely what's most important, as you say!
Perhaps I will continue getting my ear used to being able to hear the 7th chords much better in music I'm listening to...
Yes, intuition.
I will buy your book, tho: perhaps it's just what I need.
Your playing and teaching is so inspiring. Best to learn from the best.
I realized this morning that Im definitely over thinking jazz-- because at first the idea of figuring out something by ear that I loved (first of all, Sonny Rollins, Thelonious, Chet, and Nina Simone; obviously not guitar) was daunting because of all of the different chord voicings.
For now, I'll approach figuring out the music by ear the way I did any tune I played before my spine injury: I'll listen to the bass player in jazz tunes to figure out chord progressions, and figure out the basic melody. Then perhaps play 7th chords (M7,m7, °...) and see if that helps. I think I talked myself out of playing jazz by ear years ago...
Thank you again, Tim.
Your reply-- especially mentioning intuition, helped me realize that was one thing I always, unknowingly when I was a kid, for sure, relied on when playing music.
Thank you!

@@TimLerchGuitar PS I realize I forgot to mention in the beginning of my message that I haven't played for 13 years because my hand was stuck shut due to spinal injury... but we got it open in 2017! My neurosurgeon was flabbergasted, to say the least. Never give up!
So, my hand is getting stronger abs I cannot wait to start playing the Baby Taylor and a Godin archtop I just had set up with much lighter strings.
Baby steps.
But watching you play and teach, as I say, has been quite inspiring!!
I'm hardly in the jazz realm right now, but you never fail toget ideas flowing!
Thank you
Thank you very much Tim!
It is not the amount of your videos published that matters...it is their qualities...and there it is Tim
Thanks from Paris and keep on...very good didactic ❤
I bought your book on Amazon...amazing !!!!
Tim I will never mind you uploading a video when you see fit! It is pretty much QUALITY over QUANTITY. Seeing you not rushing to clickbait people or being flamboyant in your approach to keep your channel relevant in the "eyes" of the youtube algorithm is what makes this special. I keep rewatching your videos and learning - like a friend that takes is time to show me the magic of music. Thank you so much for your patience and your wilingness to swing as a human.
You are an awesome RUclipsr Tim!!! Keep goin'!!!
Very practical your visión and expisition, thanks a lot 🎸🎶🎵
👽👍🏾
With most channels, I look through their many videos hoping to find something I'm interested in, and hoping I like it. With your channel, I click on the next lesson available no matter what it says. I always learn something valuable that I can revisit. Thank you tim! You and Ted Greene really make me feel at home with my instrument, the way you view and convey the experience has helped me a ton this year.
I thought a Tele was what I wanted. Now i want a Collins. Does their models have your knowledge, skill, and talent included with a purchase?
Hi Tim. Thanx beeing so kind to give us your thoughts and insights. So valuable to get closer in understanding what's going on on the sound that I got to love. Really helpful for me were your lessons on two note punctuation and how to build from there. Would be awesome to hear and see some follow ups. Once again Thank you so much and greetings from Switzerland...
Wow…..this is so impressive. So smooth! So feeling! Still waters run deep - and produce chords like these!
Thank you for another wonderful lesson Tim! This is really useful, I just started working on various chord inversions that allow me to play a given scale with the high note. So far, I've just worked on minor 7th chords played with the top note being the Dorian scale for example and major 7th chords with the Ionian scale. Your lesson is immediately more useable and musical 🙂
i get what you're saying. Unfortunately i'm hopeless with theory, playing only by ear and tripping over nice sounding chords. first example of standing D, i thought maybe half way through it could be an E. then you delved into it so deep. mostly, i just wanted to say, your playing is so warm and full of emotion and so peaceful to listen to. gorgeous.
Great lesson brother
Tim, as a predominantly R&B, funk and reggae guitarist I always appreciate the fresh perspective you've provided through my many years of listening. You always seem to get me out of a box or block, and add some different colours of tension and resolve to my playing canvas. Appreciate ya.
Tim, that was wonderful. Thank you for sharing. All the best!
Such amazing ideas! Great and thank you so much
Thank you Mr Lerch. Even if by accident I want for you to be know that your videos are appreciated. I'll be waiting for the next chance I get to hear from you. Cheers!
Great lesson - perfect, relaxed timing - right portioning of material. And nice infectious "can do" attitude. You are a Natural Born Sensei, Dr Lerch!
I'll never be there but I sure like listening to someone who knows it. Thanks Tim
You´re awesome, Tim!! Love to watch your videos... BTW, I loved your book, too! I highly recommend it for everyone interested in your music. Regards, from Brazil.
what a cool concept. will probably be trying to this for the next life-time. hahaha!
thanks! great lesson!
For me, what a happy accident
And those reasons are why we love you Tim! as always, incredibly inspiring video.
Your sound very inspire me, and a lession is hit the point but easy to understand ❤
Good ideas. Nice exercises. Thanks a lot!
Interesting ideas! Thank you!
Thank you for this valuable lesson and for sharing your broad experience. Inspiring as usual! For non-professionals like me a good video from time to time is enough. Haven't got the practice time for more. Greetings from Germany.
Too cool and too zen for youtube. You rock, Tim!
Great lesson. One of my favorite RUclips channels, accidental or otherwise. Loving that Collings too!
Great lesson Tim, 'though about half-way through you started rapidly accelerating away from my comfort zone. Love that Collings too.
You might try watching it many times and even slowing it down (even though it will sound like I’ve been drinking )
Young Man, thanks to be like you are its not the notoriety is the time and the effort that takes it Congratulations from another Young man whose an apprentice
Thanks again
As others have said, you're leagues ahead of me, totally different ball park, I'll never be able to play like this, but it's beautiful to hear. You can really appreciate when someone really cares about creating the best music they possibly can. Subscribed to hear more of whatever you choose to do. 😊
Where can I get the little black rubber string buzz device just above the trapeze?
I got them at Ace Hardware
@@TimLerchGuitar Love it! My kinda guy :-) I really enjoy your content Tim. Thank you for all the knowledge you share.
Great Job Tim!
Tim, your pocket is just stunning!!! Thank you so very much for bringing us these little gems 🙌🏻
I have one question : how the hell do you do to play on all those amazing guitars??
Playing amazing guitars is easy! Haha getting access to them is the challenge : )
@@TimLerchGuitar That's a good one !
Master, you're a great artist. Thank you for all.
Tim ...you're great. thank you.
Wow! That's a great lesson! Thank you so much for that!
Thanks for this. Great ideas to expand harmonic options.
This is RUclips gold! Thanks!
Love the added color. Thank you
G5 to L7 to A3rd flat minor to C sharp to L minor. Got it! 👌
Good lesson , I’ll give it a try in my limited fashion😊
