Announcement: GuitarControl.com Releases “Guitar Lesson in Chord Voicing’s - Learn Chord Voicing’s and Chord Melody on Guitar”
(PRWEB) July 21, 2014 -- In this jazz rhythm guitar lesson Jon MacLennan teaches an exercise to work on 7th chord voicings on the lower strings of the guitar that incorporate melodies. Jon starts off in the key of G at the third fret and ascends up the fret board diatonically through all of the chords in the scale. MacLennan uses chord voicing’s that leave his first finger free to play the melody notes that go along with the chord voicings. The chord voicing’s that Jon demonstrates are as follows; GM7 (G major seven) and the added melody note makes the chord voicing become G6, Am7 (A minor seven), Bm7 (B minor seven), CM7 (C major seven), D7, Em7 (E minor seven), F#m7b5 (F sharp minor seven flat five) and finally GM7 again, but one octave higher. To get the most benefit from this exercise it is recommended to practice it both ascending and descending. Guitar TAB’s are available for this easy jazz guitar lesson at GuitarControl.com.
