Thanks Marc! Great update!!

Hi, guys. Last week's workshop is now available in the Classroom! In this one, we break down a complete chord-melody arrangement of "Night and Day" using a step-by-step approach: analyzing the song form, mapping the melody on the fretboard, and building a playable, skinny chord melody using practical jazz voicings. We also cover comping, voice leading, and how to interact musically in an ensemble setting. https://www.skool.com/jazz-guitar/classroom/1d6ddcc6?md=9c43839e3ff947588fc934f7da49da42 Thanks to everyone who showed up live: @Kevin Gallagher @Bradford L Romans @Richard Soukup Enjoy, and feel free to drop any questions in the comments!

Hey everyone, Just a quick heads up — this week’s Chord Melody workshop is now available. 👉 https://www.skool.com/jazz-guitar/classroom/1d6ddcc6?md=2e64db145f33405b93870ecd78081f42 In this session, we built a skinny chord melody arrangement step by step for one of my favorite standards, Beautiful Love. It’s a D minor tune with a great feel, and a really good vehicle for working on minor ii–V ideas. The melody is strong, very musical, and honestly just fun to play. If you’re looking to develop your chord melody skills in a practical way, this is a great one to dig into. Hope you enjoy it. Thanks for showing up: @Richard Soukup @Kevin Gallagher @Casey Childers @Mentor Miles Barel

Hi guys. I just finished putting together my first skinny CM arrangement of this tune today. This is a quick end-of-practice recording to mark the occasion. Hope you enjoy, and feedback is always welcome. 😎🎸

I have played each of these parts separately much better at different times, but getting them all just decent in one take...I have nothing but the utmost respect for anyone who plays live. I have been battling a wrist/shoulder issue on my right side for a couple of weeks. I've been doing my best to stay on a pitch count, but it's hard to put the guitar down once I get started. It does seem as though it is getting better. My plan is to put this one down for a bit and start on lesson 4. Those etudes appear to be less physically demanding and will allow me to keep playing and learning while the hand gets lighter work load. If there issues that need addressing with the CM, I can feather those in with the etude 4.x work.
