Why Learning A Chord Melody Can Provide A Pathway to jazz Improv Soloing | Guitar Soloing Lesson

In this video, I talk about the importance of learning a chord melody and how getting some chord melody arrangements under your belt could provide the pathway to jazz improv soloing. Not only are chord melodies fun to play and rewarding to learn, but they can also instill valuable harmonic information about a song that will allow you to play great solos over the progressions. I hope this helps you. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns. I love hearing your feedback. Leave me a comment, and thanks for watching!

His education includes years of college and private instruction with a variety of teachers, including Mitch Holder, Ted Greene, Joe Pass, and Charlie Shoemake, to name a few. He feels education is a continuing process. There's always more to learn. Wes Montgomery, Joe Pass, Howard Roberts, Ted Greene, and Larry Carleton have all influenced his playing.
Rich wrote three books for a major publisher, Dale Zdenek/ Belwin Mills/Columbia, providing him the opportunity to work with other great artists/authors like Tommy Tedesco, Joe Diorio, and Ted Greene. After teaching at GIT/Musicians Institute, in Hollywood, CA, for three years, he developed and published his own home study guitar school-type curriculum available on his website www.GuitarCollegeLibrary.com, which has helped over ten thousand students improve their playing.
Rich has won honorable mentions and awards in songwriting and served as president of the Ventura County Producers and Songwriters Guild. Touring for three years with "Dick Clark's Good Old Rock and Roll Show," he had the opportunity to perform with Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry, Little Anthony, and many other great, old-time rock and rollers.
After moving his family to the Yosemite/Fresno area, he taught guitar and directed the jazz band at Fresno Pacific University for two years. Being a well-rounded player, Rich is comfortable playing a variety of styles, including jazz (his favorite), blues, rock, fusion, country, and solo fingerstyle. He performs at local venues in a number of different scenarios, as a solo guitarist, with his jazz trio or quartet or smooth jazz quintet.

Your absolutely right Rich. Learning and Arranging Chord Melody Arrangements can improve Soloing Technique. The Melodies can teach us how to Imply the Chord Progression in a Melodic manner. It's been said, "Let the Songs teach us how to play." Thanks.
