Please, share more lessons on reharmonization. God bless!
Gorgeous playing. I need another few lifetimes to explore the endless terrain of reharm..
Great stuff man!
Super informative and clear, no BS !! Thx bro
🔥🔥🔥
This is awesome thanks
Great Holger
Very impressive, I'm gonna check into taking the course because I'm so "jazzed" on reharmonization. Can't seem to get enough of it in the songs I play.
After checking out his program, I'm not all that thrilled. It's better for someone who already has an advanced background in classical or even jazz because the reharmonizations are very complicated.
🤠 sweet sounds
Thanks so much for watching! Subscribe to the channel for more videos like this coming soon!
I like in the first technique on the ii -> VIb7 -> V7 -> I how on the VIb7 you use a #9 (which is the third of the V, partially implying the V) but you also use a Vsus4 to incorporate even more voice movement
Some of these techniques reminds me of Lyle Mays Intro to Stella By Starlight. The full Buenos Aires Concert is on UA-cam. Thanks.
Wow, thank you very much! That gives me a lot of interesting practice material. A little hint: what you play at 05:18 is not what the notes say (different notes in the inner voices). Maybe confusing for some people. Peace.
Yeah I noticed that. The second voice is one step further up the scale than what is written.
Sounds great. As a guitar player limited to 6 strings and 4 fingers to play the notes with, this stuff is impossible! :0) However, I would love to understand the concepts further and see what is applicable to the guitar. Wonderful listening to your playing. Thanks.
All 5 of these concepts can be applied on the Guitar using Voicings that are Idiomatic to the Guitar like Drop 2, Drop 3, and Drop 4 Voicings. If you haven't already, please check out Chord Chemistry by Ted Greene. Thanks.

I was speaking more about the transcriptions written in 2 staves of music notation. That's impossible to play on guitar. :0) I picked up my first copy of Ted Greene's "Chord Chemistry" back in 1977. Ted Greene is great!!! I have a lot of concepts I'm working on..... Van Epps 3 volumes, Mick Goodrick's Almanacs, his collaboration with Tim Miller "Creative Chordal Harmony for Guitar: Generic Modality Compression, etc. etc. All the drop- voicings are important to know, no doubt. Add rootless voicings, chord subs, et al.... it's endless! I'd need a couple of lifetimes at least!! lol Hope you're having a good weekend. Cheers from Canada!
@glennmichaelthompson4112 Hello from Kansas City, Missouri Glenn. Your right about the 2 staff Piano Notation. The only way to play that on Guitar would maybe, on an 8 String Guitar with Low Tuning and Stanly Jordan Technique, but he's one of a kind. The Piano has the Advantage of 88 Keys, 7 Octaves and 10 Fingers. It's a very Elegant Instrument. On the other hand, the Guitar has the Advantage that it's in my opinion the Easiest Instrument to Express your Individual Personality on. That's why it's so Popular, and their's so many Different Guitar Genres and Styles. Thanks.

I'm aware of the 5 concepts in the video, it's always good to hear different players approaches to these. I'd be interested to check out "Jazz Lesson Videos" take... but can't justify spending that much on a piano course in which I'll never be able to play the notated examples.
I've never had the opportunity to try 8 string guitar. Tried some 7 stringed guitars many years ago and wasn't comfortable with them. However an 8 string makes more sense to me with more tuning possibilities. But I don't have the time or inclination to learn Stanley Jordan's tapping techniques. He's truly "one of a kind" as you said. There's the Chapman Stick too... with a totally different tuning approach with the lowest bass string(s) in the middle of the neck.
I'm just gonna' stick to the old 6 string for the rest of my days! And a little noodling on an electric piano which has never been my first instrument, but is a great tool for writing & arranging with. I love how the same pitches on guitar can be found in several different places, with each fingering sounding a little different. It gives nuances other instruments don't have. Happy pickin' & grinnin'! Best regards from Montreal
Your chords, remind me somewhat of Mingus, Plays Piano!
