Hi Paul, on youtube there are a lot of lessons but your ideas are different, timely, clear and perspective. A lot of work summarized with mastery. I am a guitarist and I know how to evaluate a Maestro of great value. Thanks.
Great stuff Paul - you're using these so flawlessly (seemingly) in your playing - tips omn how to use these would be a great next step! Thanks again and looking forwards to the next one!
Thank you so much for this feedback! My hope is that once people learn and get comfortable with these voicings, they’ll begin to see new possibilities in comping, and also in harmonizing melodies of different kinds. I appreciate your comment! 👍🎶
@@vinisilva_guitar I hope so! Having all of these options lets you do a lot of things, I think, whether chord-melody or general comping. Thanks for watching!
I've been digging the sounds coming from this very guitar for years. It's a treat to receive insights of your approach. Also the high level clarity of the material being conveyed, calm and concise speech, sound quality is remarkable. Looking forward for more
Why not learn the inversions of the basic cell voicings first? Don't you think that learning random voicings without a clear underlying system (at this particular level) is a bit odd? (Not saying that there is only one way to do things, but for me it makes alot more sense).
@@clarkbowler157 I haven’t found the inversions to be nearly as useful, honestly. I don’t think these are quite “random”. To me they’re easier to use right away.
@@clarkbowler157 To go a little further - inversions are kind of about the note that’s on the bottom of the voicing. These voicings are driven by the note on the top of the voicing, which I think gives more options when we’re trying to comp melodically, or to harmonize a melody. In any case, I hope they’re useful!
@@PaulPieper Thank you, yes. I think this is on of the wonderful aspects of playing an instrument, there are many ways to do things! The voicings presented, after all, are still present both in shell voicings and extended voicings, they just are more specific. I sometimes like comping from shell voicings or from the scale as I feel it gives me more space to play around. (Not necessarily playing all the notes all the time and improvising within these frameworks) Regardless, thank you!
@@PaulPieper Oh yes. These are great voicings, absolutely! I do think they work especially well when playing with a bass player. (As the standart "shell voicings" might muddy up the lower register in certain instances).
Nice voice leading Paul! So many voice leading possibilities across these Chord types and harmonic movements.❤
@@bbowjazz Thanks so much for watching!
Thank you for your videos! They're awesome!
So kind of you to say, Eddie - thank you! I’ll keep making them 👍
Great content
Thanks for watching Augustin 👍🎶

@@gaetanopedroni1395 Gaetano, that means a lot to me. Thank you!!
@@PaulPieper it's the truth. Thank you.
Great lesson. Very helpful. Thanks.
@@Guitarinthewoods I appreciate you checking this out! Thanks so much.

Gonna get started working through these. Would love a part two with some examples of how you use these 😃
Thanks for watching! I think that’s a great idea!
Great video , please do a lesson on using these voicings in a whole tune like " Georgia " for instance
I like that idea! Maybe I'll do that soon.
Great Lesson Paul. Thank You.👌
Glad you liked it!
Very interesting approach to play chords. A lot of great stuff to learn.

@@tomekp95 What a boost to read this comment. Thank you for your kind words! There will definitely be more. I’m enjoying making these kinds of videos.
Not sure if you made another video showing how to maybe use these voicings on a 2-5-1 ...Thx
Thanks Paul.
Thanks so much for watching!
Great lesson, Paul. Would you be willing to post a page of grids laying out all these voicings?
I think that could happen Rick! I’ll post a link in the video description if I can get to that. Thanks for the suggestion!
