    0:00​ Recap & Prep
    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.

    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!

      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 🇺🇸

    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.

  • @KennethGonzalez
    @KennethGonzalez Před 2 lety +1

    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,

    • @fretjamdotcom
      @fretjamdotcom  Před 2 lety

      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.

    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
