A few weeks ago, I posted this YouTube Short of me improvising using chords. This was to demo an ambient effects signal chain I often use for this kind of playing.
Quite a few people asked me for the TAB off the back of that video, so here's a lesson teaching what I was playing.
Since I was making it up on the spot (from a few pre conceived ideas) there was and is no TAB! Instead, I teach you what I believe are more valuable concepts:
- the chord shapes
- chord progressions
- chordal technique
- what scales fit over the progressions
- how to play melodies with the chords
This lesson does contain a drum loop and PDF with all the shapes, though, and that can be downloaded below...
