💬 LESSON DESCRIPTION:
This is another episode of my series called "Make it a Chord Melody".
In this lesson, we talk about how to improvise jazz guitar chord melodies.
Improvising chord melodies means that we're playing melodies and supporting every instance of the melody with a chord shape.
It takes a lot of technique, vocabulary, and fretboard knowledge to improvise jazz guitar chord melodies, but it's so worth it.
Once we achieve that sound, we're able to hear a melody and what the harmony sounds like at the same time.
It's a really fun thing to do.
In the lesson series, we follow a multi-step, organized procedure, starting with the minor 7 chord in this video.
So, grab your guitar and follow along!
I hope you enjoyed this lesson about how to improvise jazz guitar chord melodies and found it beneficial. Let me know what you thought in the comments.
Thanks! :)

Best guitar teacher ever
Wow! I can’t tell you enough of the value of your lessons. This is bedrock information.
Cheers, David! That means a lot. Thanks for the positive feedback :) ~~
This lesson series is really really doing it for me thank you!!! I would love to see you take a rip through what you system is for when the melody note is on the b string.
Thank you, Jared, for continuing to show me how to accessorize my inversions. Your step-by-step approach (first explaining, then modeling, then suggesting we get the shapes under our fingers before progressing) refreshes memory and/or fills in gaps in knowledge. Learning how to sub 6th, 9th and 11th for 5ths and 7ths increased my my inversion inventory by an incalculable order of magnitude. And there's more to come. I can't wait for your Chord Melody Mastery Course!
So glad to hear that you're benefitting from this series! Thanks for the detailed feedback and enthusiasm :) Cheers, ~~Jared
Thanks, Jared 😊
My pleasure, thank YOU :)
I love this way of thinking about the inversions in terms of voice leading! Such an invaluable lesson! Thank you!!!
Glad you enjoyed it, Sean, thanks! :)
Nice! Thanks!
You bet!
Such a helpful and organized lesson. I’ve been working on this in a less organized way. This clarifies a great deal for me. Much gratitude! 🙏🏻
Right on, Andrew! That's great to hear. Thanks for commenting :)
Best email of the day
Yay! :) That's great to hear. Thanks for watching
I can't wait for the next in this series. Already practicing this video. Thanks
Thank you my friend for such a helpful lesson. Much appreciated.
Glad it was helpful!
I must really thank you for your lessons. They are very helpful and deep. :)
So glad you like them! Helpful and deep is exactly what I'm going for. Thanks for the feedback! :)
Great lesson, sounds like something Robben Ford would play.
That's a nice compliment :) Thanks for watching!
tnx
Superb. The work of an organized mimd.
I'm coming back to this lesson because a standard I found that I want to improvise over (Autumn Leaves) is using a minor flat 5 chord and I don't remember which notes in the inversions are the 5 lol... that's another hour of practice to do
Crikey… this is some serious sauce!
I really fantastic lift off from the comping jazz course year! So good!
This is amazing! Where can I find the rest of the videos covering each chord type?
Glad you like it! I just wanted to mix things up so I'm not talking about the same thing for too long in a row, so I spaced out the series. They're coming in a few weeks! Thanks for asking :)
Hey Jared, really great lesson. Have been playing restaurant jazz gigs (usually duo, trio) for 30 years. I have a Thursday duo gig, which doesn’t pay that well. Have been thinking of trying to do solo fingerstyle guitar and not splitting the pay.. Working on some arrangements for some melodies with chords and some root- 5 bass notes. This lesson will help me on some of the improv. I already do some chord soloing in the style of Wes Montgomery, but this is a little different. Should come in handy. Thanks!!
Right on! So glad to hear that this is helpful and that it will help with your gigs. I use these same concepts for solo guitar gigs all the time. It's so fun to be able to do it all on one guitar and have a full sound :)
I need/want to set a good time a day to spend such good time. I am still on the first episode and not daily ... due to impending urgent things to take care of.. so I can sit down ... these are very good ... ... side note, is there a "light" or not very heavy electric guitar? I have an old Godin 100 .. I got used but it hurts it is so heavy ... do you have videos on hand warm ups and exercises... keep up the great work .. I can tell you enjoy this ... pb
Thanks for watching! Yes, there are lighter and heavier guitars. Sounds like a lighter one would be helpful for you. Thanks for asking about warm ups. I have several videos on technique and warming up. Here are three I recommend:
1) ruclips.net/video/9lyjqdA6Z08/видео.html (I do this warmup exercise literally every day)
2) ruclips.net/video/KnUANSbO2Wo/видео.html
3) ruclips.net/video/qHsaW7F4Qsw/видео.html
And here's a full playlist of all my videos that are technique related or helpful for technique in some way: ruclips.net/p/PLho65cYn4nF1CZ7t0yI51Mcyfge2rz4oN
tnx again@@soundguitar
Hey Jared what application did you use at 10:50 to access and use the chord score? is it free?
It's called iRealPro, search "iReal Pro" on my channel and you find a video I made about it.
@@soundguitar Thanks! this is a really silly question but if you had one place to use it would you use it on laptop or iPhone for practicing? I heard they have different versions
