    I had a friend a jazz guitarist in the township in South Africa he showed me the easiest way to comp the blues on guitar, he didn't call it shell voicings but now I can clearly see what he was teaching me. These shell voicings sound very nice and straight to the point...I just like their sound!!!

    At first I was afraid of that the "Jazz Police" will put you into jail.
    But in a trial they almost would have no arguments.
    You are a great defence counsel and you open the door to Jazz for many guitar players.
    I like the clarity in the tables you presented how chords are built w.r.t. the intervals.

    in 1988 Arnie Berle ran a year long lesson on jazz shell voicings,subs and 1\2 step approach chords. I used to use them almost exclusively in church hymns that went to a flat key! Every time, the "director" would turn and glance at what I was doing and give me that raised eyebrow thing then smile.It's been so long now that I've forgotten most of it BUT I still have those issues on hand. Great Lessons always.Thank You.

  • @owenllewellyn5692
    @owenllewellyn5692 2 роки тому +3

    This techniques seems to be ideal for mandolin extended chords (or lack thereof!)- with only four courses, fully extended chords can be challenging if not impossible, with inversion and omission being the only practical options. This technique provides a framework to approach extended chords in a systematised manner, rather than the haphazard approach I have used in the past. Once I've fathomed out the shell voicing fingerings for the mandolin, I can then learn them to free me up to embelish them where I might. Thanks for the helping hand!

    Great lesson, thanks Rob, dank je wel. One thing that confused me a bit is when you play the Blue Bossa, the chord in the tab is not always the one you actually play. For example, at 19:38 you play a Dmin7 (I think) where the tabs shows a Fm6. But great lesson nonetheless.

    That's a great lesson. The only critique that I'll do is that you chose a font that make me wonder if a chord was major or minor in the exercise, since the M appears to be a capitol letter. Regardless of that minor issue, it was very usefull to learn these chords.

  • @diegomaugeri4038

  • @mordy91
    @mordy91 2 роки тому +2

    Good video :) However I noticed some editing and playing mistakes. At 5:37-6:25 the written and sounding chords are switched around so they don’t correspond.
    When it says CminMaj7 it is actually a Cm7b5 being played
    When it says Cm7b5 it is actually a Cdim7 being played
    When it says Cdim it is actually a BminMaj7 being played
    Furthermore with the last example above the root of the played chord is as you can see changed from c to b.
    That being said I think it is a good video and I like the linear one-string representation of the chords where you can really see the major and minor third intervals that make up the chords in relation to each other similar to how you would see it on a piano.

    Wonderful summary of shell voicings! A correction: "All the Things You Are" was written by Jerome Kern (not Kernont), and there's a misprint of the chord at 21:53, which should be EMaj7 (not Eb as shown) - the correct chord is heard though. There's a similar misprint at 22:48 - the white Db7 should be D7.

    Excellent lesson. I definitely took notes and subbed. Rob made a subtle but profound point: shell voicings are versatile because you can't tell whether a particular voicing is augmented or diminished (they sort of "straddle the fence"). I look at this lesson in the same way as when students are learning power chords for the first time. Power chords lack a b3 or a 3 which means they are neither major nor minor. I think of shell voicings in a similar way.

    Fear Not! This is an excellent music lesson that help you a lot.However, you will be happy to learn that you won’t be playing chords with available tensions every time. The purpose of the chords is to support the melody by providing harmony and rhythm articulation to the overall sound without getting in the way of the melody or soloist.
    The content of this post is going explain a lot. Learn as much as possible practice regularly and don’t give up! 🎸

      Analogously, at 6:04 it sounds like a dim, and at 6:23 as a B MinMax7, maybe there is an editing mistake and samples have been mixed (sorry I just saw now that this had already been spotted and reported by other viewers)
