Great run down Chris. Thanks for this. But to do what you just did, in the way you did it, I need to learn finger-style. Sixty-three years of playing guitar, and I still cannot get my hands to operate individually, in the way needed. So I have to stick with the pick! Sure I can play chord melody with a pick, but I will never be another Joe Pass! Stick with it my friend. You have it. John in UK
Great lesson, Chris. You dropped in “My Romance” as an example of of tune that could be introduced by one of phrases. Have you done an arrangement of that? I can’t find one on this channel, nor on Musicnotes.
Great lesson! This is such and incredible insight. I've always had trouble in applying these methods and techniques in my playing but this will surely help me in my future playing!
Chris This is best lesson on this subject I’ve seen. I watched a piano theory video; ‘The seven steps of the V7 chord ‘ their example 5 ( about 30 minutes in)from their lesson was your examples 3 & 5 of 13 chord a half a step above the I chord. In the piano video they use a Bill Evans Example, but the really interesting example was Wayne Shorter’s “Infant Eyes” it not only did they use 13 chord a half step above the I chord but continued the concept up a whole step in the composition. This 13 chord a half step above the I chord they referred to as the Bill Evans kitchen sink chord. (I think for all the dark altered tones it contains)I hope you have more lessons like this on more advanced harmony concepts and hopefully you will consider doing Wayne Shorter’s Infant eyes and explain what he is doing. Thanks Chris you’re the best.
The first time my ears really opened up to this motion was when I got in to Barry's(Galbraith) stuff. It's such a beautiful way to play if you can improvise a comp that way. Sweet videos, man.
Chris, thank you so much for this lesson! My understanding is only somewhere around knowing Amadd9->D7b9->Gmaj7 and I didn't know you can do these cool stuff with them. I really like the way you teach. You're explanations are very clear.
Thank you very much. A lesson on how to improvise a chord melody would be very interesting from your ways of explaining. This is moveable right? so when you learn this pattern (like 1,4,5 in blues) you can play same chord shapes in all keys?
Great lesson, I love the clarity, and emphasis on voicings and passing chords (esp. the chromatics amd diminished), the key to the interplay of tension and resolution.
I don't think i've ever commented on a youtube vid before, but this was such a fantastic lesson and i felt compelled to let you know! what a huge help! thanks Chris!
Keep it up, this is good. As a working-on-solo player, I am always seeking ways to combine the melody and harmony (and of course a few bass lines). One approach that Joe Pass sometimes uses is that he plays solo lines but then has lots of stock "chordal phrases" such as this. Sounds more balanced than constant chord melody and a bit easier for me.
What a super lesson! Thank you, Chris. I've been teaching guitar (well, I did before the world went nuts!) for 30+ years. My hope is that on at least a few occasions, I communicated a concept with my students as clearly as you articulated this one. Brilliant. By the way, can I put in a request for you to make a video of "My Romance", continuing in the same style as the first few bars you demonstrate in this video. Thank you, Chris. You might just help make a Jazz player out of this Ol' Rocker yet ;-)
Thanks Michael. Your comments brightened my day! Yes, My Romance on the to do list. I hit my finger with a hammer this week and fractured it, so waiting on it to heal!
@@ChrisWhitemanGuitar Hello Chris! Thank you for your reply 😊 That’s dreadful news about your finger; I wish it a very speedy recovery. How long do you reckon it’ll be before you’re playing again? Maybe you can instead work on your slide guitar technique for a while 😕 I shall look forward to your interpretation of “My Romance”. Your arrangements are very clear and concise, and always played at a pace that makes them sound very musical. I find this very helpful when attempting to learn them myself - I like to try doing this by ear rather than reading tabs as I find this process far more educational. I’ve been working at your basic version of “Stella By Starlight” for a while, and last week had fun learning “Mercy, Mercy”. One other request for the future (if you haven’t done this already), could you put together a video sharing your thought process/approach to 2-5-1 cadences? Again, thank you for the content you share; I find it so helpful and quite inspiring too. Best wishes from forty miles NW of London. Mickey
great vid! easy to understand and makes me want to learn more about your approach to comping over different progressions. Lookin forward to the next one
Chris you perfectly described where I am at. Your first example turned the light on and pulled together things I've known but didn't see how to apply on a tune. Your touch, taste and tone is incredible and inspiring! Thank you
It fascinating when a musician puts himself in your shoes, and go back to where he came from ....thx for those tips(from Montréal )
My Pleasure!
Excellent teaching! would an F minor 2 5 1 for example progress in the same manner?
That is going to be a little different
I can't overstate how much I enjoy and learn from your videos. Thank you!
Thank you!

thanks John!
Great videos and teaching Chris.May I ask what camera(s) or cam do you use? , lighting you use. Thank you
Thank you 🙏🏻. I am using an iphone x and some inexpensive led lights that I bought for $15 on amazon
Great lesson, Chris. You dropped in “My Romance” as an example of of tune that could be introduced by one of phrases. Have you done an arrangement of that? I can’t find one on this channel, nor on Musicnotes.
Thanks Ray! I have not yet published an arrangement of My Romance, but it is on my list of songs to arrange.
What you call a D9sus I've always called D11. Amounts to the same thing, I guess, but I've just never called it that.
Yes, it is the same thing
Thank you for your videos, specially this is a very good inspiration to me. And a very nice watch.
Thank you thank Holmann, Happy to hear this!
Thank you for this amazing lesson! I see myself getting a lot of mileage out of this lesson. Really good way to take your playing up a level
Thank you Ahmed
KUDOS ! You explain your material well.

Great lesson! This is such and incredible insight. I've always had trouble in applying these methods and techniques in my playing but this will surely help me in my future playing!
Thank you Aren!
Harmonic motion. I now have a name for what I've been hearing!
Yes!

Another layer to add. Very helpful to an intermediate amateur
Gald it was helpful Jerry!

Thank you for this great lesson
You're very welcome!
Great lesson, Chris. Are the first few bars of 'My Romance' a teaser for a future video, perhaps? :-)
Thank you and yes, it's on my list to do!
You are fantastic teacher and guitarist ! Also very kind.
Congratulations. I will definitely follow all your work. You are helping a lot.

Thank you Claude
Thank you very much. A lesson on how to improvise a chord melody would be very interesting from your ways of explaining.
This is moveable right? so when you learn this pattern (like 1,4,5 in blues) you can play same chord shapes in all keys?
Yes, it is moveable
Great lesson, thanks a lot!

Thank you Joe
THAT is how you comp!
Thank you!
Just found this lesson, Chris. Thank you, it’s proving incredibly helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
Nice lesson!
A little suggestion, maybe tune up the volume of your microphone next time. It was a bit difficult listening to you speak.
Cheers!
Thanks for the tip!
I don't think i've ever commented on a youtube vid before, but this was such a fantastic lesson and i felt compelled to let you know! what a huge help! thanks Chris!
Thanks Kyle! Glad it was helpful!
Wonderfull :-)
Thank you! Cheers!
Should have read Emily Remler
Great lesson!

Good stuff, Chris. I think you need to bring up your mic volume.
Noted!
Enlightening...
Thank you😀
Man this is cool
Thank you Gordon

Thank you Jonathan

Great stuff Chris! I have that exact guitar. :-) Is yours also a 1953?
