Truefire Frank Vignola’s Essentials: Advanced Chord Melody TUTORIAL
Advanced Techniques and Melodic Approaches for Jazz Chord Melody
Chord melody is a requisite skill for jazz guitarists. Learning how to take full advantage of the polyphonic qualities of the instrument by playing rhythm, bass and melody simultaneously is certainly challenging but it’s also one of the most gratifying skills once you’ve developed the skill.
Frank Vignola’s first two jazz chord melody courses, 1-2-3 Chord Melody and Chord Melody Etudes, taught you the basic skills and jump started your repertoire of chord melody tunes. In this Advanced Chord Melody edition, Franks takes your skills and repertoire to whole new level.
”In this edition, we’ll work through ten advanced chord melody performance studies together, each of which has been written to help develop your chord melody skillset.
We’ll take your chord melody to the next level with more inner-voice movement and chromatics, while tackling more real-world performance tempos. We’ll work with the chord changes for jazz standards like All By Myself, Autumn Leaves, Always, Blue Bossa, I’m Confessin’, But Beautiful Chord, It Had To Be You, Satin Doll, Sentimental Journey, and Somebody Loves Me.
I’ll perform each over a track, break it down for you in detail so you can get it under your fingers, and you’ll have all of TrueFire’s learning tools to work with along the way.”
Frank will explain and demonstrate all of the key concepts and approaches along the way. You’ll get standard notation and tabs for all of the performance studies. Plus, you’ll be able to use TrueFire’s learning tools to sync the tab and notation to the video lesson.
You can also loop or slow down the videos so that you can work with the lessons at your own pace.
Grab your guitar, and let’s dig in with Frank Vignola!
