David Taub

Learn a step-by-step blueprint for playing, changing, and mastering barre chords. I will take all the frustration out of one of the most challenging aspects of beginner guitar. Throughout this class I gradually work you up to barre chords with an easy progression of exercises and techniques that build fret hand strength, stamina, and dexterity. And on the way to barre chord mastery I will teach you some barre chord subs so you no longer have to skip over the songs you love and want to play. You will also learn all about power chords, 5th chords, and pseudo barre chords. Also learn how to proficiently change barre chords like butter and play some popular songs with barre chords. Learn all kinds of barre chords like majors, minors, suspensions, 7th, minor 7th, major 7ths, and so much more – its an easy to follow step by step curriculum to mastering barre chords!

Chord Melody Part 1

Chord Melody Part 1

5 (18)

intermediate · Theory
Molly Miller

In my opinion, chord melodies are one of the most challenging things you can do on the guitar - you have to hold down melody, harmony, groove, and tempo, while making it all sound good at the same time. In this course we will dive into chord melody playing. What are some of the key elements into taking a song and making it sore in a solo guitar setting. We will look at different approaches from right hand technique, to harmonic options, to phrasing, to chord voicings. Chord melody is a bit endless, so in the course there will be clear guidelines of how to start on this magical and challenging journey. We will look at specific arrangements, dissect them, and understand them so you can then make your own. Chord melodies changed the way I play and see my instrument - I am excited to show you what I have learned in my 15 years of studying and obsessing over it. As a note: we will study a mixture of genres. This will not be just jazz - we will also check out pop, soul, and r'n'b. I know sometimes when we hear "chord melody" we go right to Joe Pass- we will be using chord melodies to look at a variety of genres.

Chord Creation

Arianna's class is amazing. Every class was extremely well thought out, always engaging, and had great cohesion of concepts throughout every class. It’s more reminiscent of a Music Conservatory Masterclass than your typical basic online class!
