Holdsworth , a great name for a guitarist. I could never decide what was more beautiful and impressive , his chordal work or his hornlike supersonic legato tsunami wave of notes lead work . Thank you for this great lesson.
This is a great lesson Rick. I've played for about 21 years (professionally for 10) and this is great inspiration for some new sounds. Thank you!
Poor Layla had to wait for over FIFTEEN minutes for daddy to come and play with her...an eternity when you're that age! :P
Great videos Rick, I'm learning a LOT, thank you.
JackFeelsNerves that adults... they're always busy with some strange things )
Such priceless lessons. After I'm done studying (When I get a job), you've got my donation Sir! I don't know what to call you... Beato? Mr Beato? Prof Beato? Rick? Lessons with so much raw information deserves compensation. Every musician I know shall be directed here. Have a great day, and thank you so much!
This is particularly useful because it gives a practical and musical method for building up to these chords on guitar. So many people say, in effect, "here are the notes", or "here is the formula for constructing these voicings" and leave it at that. Here we have a progressive method that addresses the specific difficulties of big stretches and makes a sensible basis for practice routines.
Talking about Allan Holdsworth in past tense is still new to me :(
Jazz Devil I always talk about artists that have passes as if they are still with us, in my mind they still are.
Jim that's great the legacy continues in your mind :)
Cosmically speaking, we are all dead far sooner than later.
Acute tendonitis took him away from us far too soon.
+Mick Mack - Wtf does "Cosmically speaking" mean?
I hope this comment finds it's way to your attention. I have viewed many of your videos and am in awe at your competence in both the instruments that you are accomplished at and the musical knowledge that you possess as both a musician and an educator. I am now 60 and began playing guitar when I was around 7 yrs old. I taught myself from Mel Bay books and it was the start of my musical journey. Like you have said in your biographical videos, I was unfocused in school until I got into the school band. I began playing trumpet in the 6th grade and, long story short, I advanced to 2nd chair state trumpet player in my senior year. All along though, guitar has been my love. I spent years away from the instrument as life took over. Although I still work, I am trying to find more time to practice. I have watched your videos on practicing tips but would you please tailor one for those of us older guys (gals) who have now found a little more time to devote to practice but don't have the chops of the younger players? I am able to entertain myself with classic rock and country and have what I think is a decent voice. I would like to aspire to doing a solo gig at a small local venue. Can you find the time to address this? Thanks Rick
Rick, I love the way you taught this lesson...breaking the chords down into triads and top notes.
I played in a big band with a guy who studied with Johnny Smith in Colorado. He was great with chord melody and moving through many inversions. Blew my mind.
I appreciate you taking the time to do all this for us, God bless you and your family, you are awesome.
Clear, interesting , and complex. Thank you. Loved your little angel's visit.
i discovered Johnny Smith a month ago,records from 1958(easy listenng) thats what i liked about him
his piano voicing chords thanx for mentioning ! ... i play guitar and piano
love all the vids you post, great playing and introspection on all the styles and musicians you tackle.thanks Rick.
Thanks Rick !!! A whole new path to search new soundings !!! Bless !!!
It's a blast revisiting these kind of 4 note chords again.... it's been awhile. Lot's of great ideas can come from working w/ these. I'm about your age...and remember working on harmonizing the different scales in the beginning of the Mahavishnu Orchestra book as recommended by John McLaughlin. Some of these stretches are a little less accessible now than they were back in the '80's! :-)
Thanks for. so many. great lessons. The Beato Book is the best investment I've made lately. I'm recommending it to all my friends & students. Thanks again. Best regards from Montreal.
Incredible, Rick. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge so generously.
You weren't kidding when you said in the description that this is one of your most informative videos!
Great video! Those 4-fret shapes do become a lot easier over time. I first started tinkering with these exotic chord shapes that Tommy Emmanuel uses, and a few impossible stretches that Andy Summers likes. If you can wrap your fingers around some of those, four frets are no biggie.
love these voicings rick. much more pleasing to my ear than the ordinary
Really interesting. I loved those 2 5 ones from outer space!
only 1:50 min into the video and already some great song ideas really inspiring!!! thank you :)
Rick thank you so much for every video! It's helping me a lot with composing and getting new and fresh ideas. I'm considering to buy your book in a distant future!
This is the coolest! I'm getting more and more into Allan Holdsworth. Especially his melodic "heads" and his comping like you are showing in this vid. No cowboy chords for me -- only the magic chords that make the ears wake up and say, "Wow, what is that!?" Thanks for showing me how to do magic tricks!
This is a whole new universe to me ... thnx Rick
Beautiful sounds Rick ! Love learning new voicings, just what i needed :)
10:04 - The X Files!
Haven't finished watching this yet (I plan to) but just wanted to thank you a ton for breaking this down!!!
Your channel is so great Rick. Thanks for these videos
Fantastic video Rick, your channel is really awesome. Thanks for this amazing class!!
The sheer amount of stuff I'm learning thanks to you...
Rick, this is a really cool lesson!! You’re a really good teacher!! Bravo!! 🍻🍻🍻
Thank you so much!!
Beautiful job! Thankyou.
Wow. That's all I got. Invaluable info, changing how I think. Thanks, Rick.
Thanks again Rick, another great video, great teaching.
as an ex-pianist that was the chords I first tried when switched to guitar )) Some of them really helps to develop fingers stretch
I've tried to do this on my own several times, so this is very very helpfull. Thank you so much!
As usual. Great post Rick. Seen the Holdsworth vid and have his books, but you make the concept so assessable with your vid (much easier to understand).
I love this rick and its' incredibly interesting as are all of your videos. This particular video has taught me that I don't need to know piano chords on guitar :)
great stuff as always Rick- along with Smith and Holdsworth I like to mention Eric Johnson who also seemed to be shooting for most concordant, rooted inversions of voicings as Helmnoltz mentioned eons ago as regards psychoacostics... also I'd mention rock guitarist like Rick Derriger working with keyboards and using truncated voicings that best support harmonic clariity- keep up the great work!
What a great tutorial video Rick! Excellent.
Great instructional vid! Great sounding Dano btw. Thanks Rick...
What a great lesson. Wish i would have known of this months ago. Might have inspired me.
Great lesson as always Rick. Many thanks
Rick, you're amazing. Thanx a lot!
Very cool. I have never approached it in an organized manner like this. I look for weird voicings around one chord but it is always an isolated thing where I am searching for something that I am hearing in my head.
Great lesson. Thanks for posting.
So much to practice here. Thanks, Rick!
This is awesome Rick. Thanks so much !!
Once again great work !
Thank you! Clear and well explained.
Just bought your book! I absolutely love your channel!
Rick this is an oldie but would love you to do a deep dive into Johnny Smith. He needs to be recognised more among the greats by the younger generation who's probably never heard of him
These is *SUPER COOL!* thank you Rick!
Nice job Rick, IOU has a tune right before the solo with these chords traveling down diatonically, beautiful sound
I Love This! I'm seriously learning good stuff ... Thanks Rick :thumps up:
Very good video. Thanks Rick.
great lesson and wonderful studio
Thanks for your effort and time, this is awesome (to a jazz drongo like myself...)
This is amazing, thank you.
I like this approach. The use of 4th intervals is very important in getting away from standard chord voicings. The standard four note voicing for G major, using the top four strings, is R, 3, 5, R with the diatonic intervals of a third, third and fourth. Rick's first voicing is R, 4, 5, 7, when he plays his second chord. The intervals are a diatonic 4th and two thirds. Than he plays with the logical combinations, lowering and raising notes. This is very similar to the 'mathematical' approach of which Holdsworth speaks in his teaching videos. Well, done, Rick. Naming the chords is hard work though! :-)
Awesome lesson.
Exelente, muy fácil de entender Muchas gracias por compartir .
I really enjoyed watching this video, I'm not a guitarist, I'm a drummer but man this is so cool to watch and listen. Beautiful sounding voicings and obviously some difficult hand positions... I'll stick to the drums for now! haha
You make all that info so digestible! 🍻
thank you very much!! great class!!!
Very insightful.
congrats. amazing video. thanx
Rick. Thank you . I been playing Jazz for about 12 years now and i always have an ear for expanding my chord fills, thanks for mentioning Jimmy Smith...just as important as phil Upchurch was for George Benson...this reminds ne of Ted Greene book " chord chemustry" but your presentation makes it much easier ...Thanks again
Ted Green's Book on Modern Chord Progressions was the best I ever bought.
I fought through every progression in that book for 3 months till I could play through that whole book in 30 minutes.
Zero tinnitus.
I can also learned to fret 2 strings with my pinky .
dude good stuff thanks for posting
I love how you went over 2 5 1 progressions here which are common in jazz.
great video, thank you !
What a beautiful daughtjer you'v got! God bless you!
Excellent lesson Rick! Hope you went and played with your beautiful daughter afterwards :)
Of course! She loves to crash my videos :)
Man I've been watching your videos for a few months and I have the need to thank you for the great material you teach and put out there...most stuff on internet is pretty basic and not that well delivered...well: that definitely doesn't apply to you. Great stuff..wish I could help your cause somehow ! Best of luck !
Thanks Jorge! You can always donate to my channel on my website or by my book if you want to contribute to the cause.
Thanks for organizing these chords in an intelligible way, Rick. Like you said, there is a lineage from Smith to Holdsworth. And you can add Bill Connors in to the mix as well. I had the privilege of studying with him briefly in the 80's. I have played these type chords for awhile but more by ear than anything else. Thanks again for giving us a format to learn them. Still, these chords are a PITA to play on guitar no matter what. I have to say it is obviously easier to play them on piano and it caused me to start studying piano even though my hands are fairly large. All the best.
Great video, Rick. … I love your playing!
Cheers!
Robert Ritchiesse
damn dude, lots of great content on your channel, just started following ya.
great video! thx
genius work
those chord shapes makes my hand work!
Nice presentation RB. In addition, for the curious students don't forget Both George Van Epps & Ted Greene who exhaustively explore harmonized triad scales & voicing practices based on systematic inversions and cycles of 4ths etc. in their instructional paper piles... (BOOKS?)
Brilliant , seems like more interesting practise here , thanks from Tahiti
Great video.
That Dano sounds fantastic!
That’s it! That’s why I love Johnny Smith. I am annoyed I did not get it on my own.
Nice one, Rick.
Hello🧚🏽♀️ remember Bill Conners 🎸🔊🎶 love the guitar✌🏽
TY Master!!
this is a goldmine for the baritone ukulele palette. also not a bad instrument on which to learn these fingerings and gain some strength/mobility before moving to a standard guitar. b'ukes are generally around 20% shorter, which is like having DGBE at about the 5th fret of a standard guitar. (they aren't expensive, either. if anyone needs an excuse for another guitar...)
pherick niartallagh , I recently picked up a Kala tenor with a low g string... Awesome suggestion. The low g introduces the same issue of b9 intervals we face as guitarists, but brilliantly forces us to come to terms with the same, imho.
a good lesson.
excellent
Maybe I'll enroll my fingers in ballet classes.
Just kidding. I loved those voicings and I'm glad I can stretch my fingers like that, too!! Thanks, Rick!! You da man!!
W O N D E R F U L Video!
Many Thanks! :)
super , dziekuje!!!
Great Great Great!
Thank you!
Hagai
Johnny Smith is my favourite
Great video. I cannot stay without mentioning Mr. Ed Bickert. He played with the sweetest saxophonist Mr. Paul Desmond. Check out the album Pure Desmond and listen how Mr. Bickert really sounded like a jazz piano. He is the best of the best at this.
Man, you make me wish I studied music.
Layla is so sweet. I have a girl that age. I can relate. Nice voicing video. Thanks!
