1:44 Basic Shape Targeting (Two Chords)
5:12 Triad & 7th Target Shapes
9:51 Targeting Chords in Isolation
11:49 Three & Four-Chord Examples
13:33 9th, 11th & 13th Target Shapes
18:49 Summary & Outro
Here we continue the guitar chord melody series by focusing on shape targeting. That means becoming more conscious of positioning chord shapes to harmonise and serve the melody, both spatially and by ear.
We also learn how to modify one string of these simple shapes to accommodate melodic tones such as the 9th, 11th and 13th, giving us accessible shapes to target every possible melodic tone up the fretboard in a three part harmony.
Ultimately, this is about equipping ourselves with more voices to support any melody we might be called upon to accompany. - Hudba
Greetings to all! I'm aware the focus is all very diatonic at the moment, in terms of the reference keys and progressions. I just want to caveat that the intent is not to impose any limitations on your playing or creativity (e.g. with the scale we use). Rather, it's the most practical place to begin with harmonising and colouring keys, since a great deal of music out there conforms to the diatonic system (or the "natural" major and minor scales), whether intentionally or not. Rest assured, we'll get to non-diatonic function in time. In the meantime, I hope you get something new out of this!
We may take a break from chord melody, depending on how the vote for the next lesson goes on Patreon. Thank you for giving this your valuable time!
We would like to see more on this topic. Thanks for everything
Hey Fretjam, I don't feel "limitated" at all ... more vastly & limitless expanded since the last 3 lessons - including this one! Thank you for sharing your great knowledge in such phantastic lessons. Take care, stay safe and keep inspired 😎🙏
@@resb1714 agree totally. This is the good stuff and all movable.
Thanks for this educational format!
Fretjam is back!! Thanks for what you do - your visualizations of the neck are the best on CZcams.
World's best teacher. Crystal clear.
Finally a video from you after a long time.. Please keep making videos regularly if possible,I really enjoy your videos and learn from them:) thank you..
You are a phenomenal teacher, I always look forward to your lessons.
❤❤❤
Hello let's say you giving playing with a base maybe another gutar player could each musician have ther own target area base guitar hitting lower string maybe me in the middle and other hitting the higher 1 2 3 string but targeting what is taught in this lesson the rythem doing the back and forth 2 cords bit not muding each other that's what I see and hear in this lesson or is this for another lesson harmonizing with others..Roland J Gutierrez from Magdalena New Mexico USA 🇺🇸
Excellent! The simple animated 2D diagram is so effective. Great work! Many Thanks ... from Boston.
Whew ... this one is deep! 20 minutes of intense triad trickery (for me at least) that will require a few rewinds and dissection to be able to put in to practice. Man do I LOVE fretjam. Thank you sir as always for some of the best CZcams theory instruction available.
This is the stuff I worked to figure out myself for twenty years… thanks and I hope young ones are paying attention. Note: put all this to permanent memory. Whatever method works for you for memorization. Do it.
this lesson goooes yearss back, what a guy 👏🏽
You're back! Thanks for the lesson
Ahhh! I haven't even started watching. Was just super excited to see you posted!! Your click through rates must be insane haha
Yeaahh finally.It s been a while man!! we miss these videos.
More of this triad chord melody please. So cool
Your lessons are mind-blowing to me I used to be overwhelmed but I just kept hanging in there and I've been practicing and practicing and it's starting to all make sense now I can't thank you enough
Great lesson, Mike! As you say, once you start seeing things this way, this goes way beyond the "topic" of the lesson. It really speaks to how chords, scales, and arpeggios are aspects of a unified whole. I think a key piece of this is connecting the sound with the shape, not just identification of the shape alone. So your comment on this as really being "ear training" is also spot on. Too often I think ear training gets a bad name and is only done at a very cursory level, as if it's just something you suffer through to get to the good stuff! I really appreciate your diligence in laying out these modules!
Best,
kengon
Very well said, sir! Yes, ear training is just as important as sight training, and in the context of this lesson we're listening for that connection between the underlying harmony and the top melody note. Eventually, we'll start to experiment with different harmonies under that same melody note, to give it different feelings and contexts. But we need to begin somewhere.
The "unified whole" you mentioned is so crucial, and a huge eureka moment for a lot of players in my experience. The more ways and contexts in which you revisit that unifying eureka moment, the more you understand its true utility in so many playing situations.
AWesome. We missed you guys!
Thank you
Thanks for including a link to the previous part. Elsewhere on the innerwebs it's often hard to find all parts of multipart lessons. It's almost like you want viewers to learn this...
Thankx bro.....u chopped it to a simple breakdown.....with tab pics....and elaboration....excellent teaching technique...God bless you

There's always something exceptional in your videos and here it was at 01:08 to 01:20 and that was just at the start! Superb.

Fretjam slogan is even better than the class contents : "Be yourself on guitar".
I saw some channels, they said to students "here there are no any genius" , "don't waist your time inventing new licks, there are so many licks already that you can copy" ..... if all musicians have such mediocre mind, as human being we still be hitting some rocks to create rocky sounds. .... f...k them
Told ya he wasn't dead!
All you knowledge in a book would be a dream! I'd pay whatever you want hahaha
That's so kind, thank you! I don't plan on creating a physical book, but I have online courses available on Patreon and more in the pipeline.

Can you do a video on "The Perfect Wrong Note?" Thanks
Well, there go my plans for the day...
🙏
Are you the guy from Astrum? You sound very similar
Hey! Does Fretjam do online lessons? I have a question about a melody that I can’t wrap my head around and it’s very very simple, but hard to figure out why it works :(
Hey Eric. Sorry I'm catching up on comments here. Email me (mike at fretjam dot com) and I'll do my best to help.
I did reach on your webpage, nice webpage btw! will donate as well.

You whip through the chords too fast..I do not get it. Thanks
watch the 1-4-5 method video first…
This is great, but I wish your accent was just a bit to the north west. Just enough tae get some aboots and yers and some wee frets
