Thank you so much for sharing! This was really inspiring, even for a seasoned guitarist as myself( Have played pro for 40 years ;-) but I learned something new today! Yay!
From the bossa intro I knew this was going to be good! Huge love man!
Thanks, Michael!
I like this! Messing around with shell voicings has kind of felt like learning my first chords again. Years ago I got kind of hooked on Travis picking and the melody playing of Elizabeth Cotton where the melody and the bass work together. The one thing I am struggling with on shell voicings is how I feel like my fingers aren’t as free to play as much melody in the treble strings. Flipping the root makes good sense
Good to see you Adam...always love watching and listening to your advice.
Thanks for sharing this. The longer I play both instruments, and the more I listen to prewar players, the more I see just how much banjo technique was translated to the guitar. These chords are pretty much the same shapes that one would use on the tenor. In fact, I always thought that was what Freddie Green did and recently saw an article making the same argument. Even Freddie’s later “one note chord/tenor line” style recalls Johnny St. Cyr’s basslines on six sting banjo.
Merci beaucoup !
Your intro was amazing!! Thanks for the lesson i subscribed. I was curios about you mahogany guitar? What is it?
It's a Guild Mark I, from the 1960s.
What a fantastic video have a wonderful day Adam ❤😊
Awsome
Cool idea, thanks! I had a mentor who taught me the Freddie Green chords on the 6th, 4th, and 3rd strings (he didn't like moving them over to the 5th, 3rd, 2nd, but I did this too :) ) -- these are all the inversions of the form you're using here -- and your idea seems like it would be cool with those too.
Great lesson Adam. Had to learn many of those shell chords playing with a big band but did not think to use them as a spring board for soloing or melody creation.
Ooooh, tips dipped into Brazilian 🇧🇷 vibes: I dig it!!!
This is such a great song. It one of those songs that is not a blues but it sounds bluesy. Maybe because of all those dominant chords, something they used a lot in the older songs. Using the guide tones sort of keeps that bluesy sound.
any possibility you could demonstrate this approach on a more "modern" song like Blue and Green?
I did a video on "Blue in Green" here: ua-cam.com/video/FvD772NlyCA/v-deo.html
