Re: Instructional Material For Chord Melody
|
Hi Andy,
I have some material that should be able to help you; send me an email jvegatrio@...
Warren Nunes' "chord bible" is a good reference; I haven't opened mine in years but you might like it. It's a good addition to any jazz guitarist's library. (Nunes was an amazing guitarist who sadly took his life when he found out he had cancer):
What you say below is what I was trying to say: once you know a few basic concepts it's not like pulling teeth to build chords "note by note"; it becomes an "organic" process that flows from your knowledge of the fretboard, harmony, and some other stuff. And don't forget, chord melody is "personal"; you don't just want to put a bunch of grips together that have the melody line on top, it's much more than that. If you message me I'll send you a chord melody for "The Party's Over" that I put together a while back so you can see/hear what I mean. If the melody leaps more than two frets, well... :)
Cheers,
JV

I’m looking for a teacher in Atlanta, and glad to take suggestions. ?I understand the principles - just looking to spice up the chords, without shifting positions more than two frets to get to whatever chord.
Really looking for a reference. ?A book may be much - maybe a big chart of shapes (here’s six minor6 chords, without having to build them, note-by-note).
