Bluesy jazz chords, or jazzy blues chords? Ways to play blues with more variation in chording - a more jazzy style of playing rhythm guitar over a blues. In the key of A, but practice it in other keys too.
Understanding I-IV-V is an intensive 65 minute video that will give you a crash course on guitar theory. It is not a complete lesson on music theory. Instead, this is the perfect introductory tool to get you started on the guitar, or to reveal the secrets of the fretboard that you are not aware of yet. You will learn why chord numbers are far more important than chord letters, how to write your own songs and chord progressions effortlessly and endlessly, and much more.
I use Guitar Pro for most of my video lessons. It is a great product that will not only show you the notes in both TAB and standard notation, you will also HEAR them being played at the same you see them. Very helpful for learning! Click the link below to try the free demo.
I have lots of gear demos too on this site. Go and take a look at some of my Guitar Videos for some examples of gear I use or have used.
very cool one
Comment added on September 15, 2010Hey, just stumbled onto your videos via "you tube". I like your approach to basic theory! I will be exploring much of your site. I've always held back on the concepts of theory however, having seen a lot of people blow past me, I realize the need for it!
Comment added on February 19, 2009Can you put up the tabs for the chords you are playing? You explain the first 2 well but on the third one (Em)and thereafter I am a bit confused! Thanks
Comment added on December 18, 2008very nice and clear video i was looking for this from ages and seems like you can also jazzy up with some mixolydian scale!
Thank you
Thanks, Mark! I truly appreciate hearing you say that. I am glad I could help in some way.
Comment added on July 07, 2008I enjoyed your guitar video instruction. You are very clear and easy to follow in the videos. Your verbal explainations are easy and concise. I the videos you have that relaxed and unique talent to communicate with your students. I am a beginer guitarist. I have 5 months experience (actual accrued playing time). I thought it must have been important to know everything on music theory before I really wanted to mess around with the guitar. It was quite like that but my emotional desires were concreted with ergent priority with the books. Oh, ...I needed every guitar book in the land. I have been teaching myself when I have time. Summary: I have read and studies many guitar books and have been to many websites. You are by far TOP PAGE!
