I LOVED your version of Waltz For Debbie. It’s unlike any that I’ve ever heard. I’m a fan of Earl Klugh’s version. Just wanted to say that before I watched the rest.

I have always been interested in chord melody. Thanks for posting. Nice sounds!

Im interested in all your teaching.. so far I feel my brain expanding.. but on a pedestrian level..what is your neck pickup? It sounds so nice and clear like a p90 but looks like a mini humbucker. I went to Berkley in 1972 for a couple of years and still learning. My ear training is still a great challenge. Torture by solfege you could say.

ok. I see it now. decending using the same relationship as acending gives you C Phrygian mode which is relative to Ab major.

this is clear as mud for me. I like the sounds you are achieving. You lost me when when you made the line connections in the circle. then rotated. then flipped it. then compared C and Ab...

Sounds like jazz...

How play this

Funny how thirty, thirty-five years ago and before that, the telecaster wasn't terribly popular. I'll never forget arriving at an audition for some sort of rock gig, pulling my telecaster out of the gig bag and hearing the bass player say "Ewww, a telecaster." Jazz players had even less use for them, except for Ted Greene and Ed Bickert. Now it seems like Ted Greene's love of them has caught on, at least partly thanks to Tim Lerch. Now the tele is cool, and you see them every where! Funny, that.

Your T-shirt reminds me of The series Breaking Bad.

Do you do private lessons or do you teach at a college/university?

Makes a lot of sense.... nice sound!

I found ur channel and so gladly I did! Just wondering what’s the app called !?

Hi , does the mode book teach how to use the modes for composition ?

What a wonderful check up from the neck up! I also was NOT aware of the Cannonball version. THANK you for the wonderful gifts!! MUCH obliged!

Could you please tell which neck pickup did you use on the Telecaster?

thank you so much Noel! would love to join this creative fundamentals someday :) love all the way from 🇿🇦

This is absolute blazing FIRE! So ethereal, so cool, so Dorian..

This is an interesting and worth while approach. Good for your ears too.

Reminds me the Brazilian cavaquinho parts.

So very sorry to digress, but could you please tell me what visual interface are you reading your music from?

Thank you! Your playing style is so unique, won't you try a classical guitar?

Good to see new content.

Intervals. Brilliant approach! I might even try this method on piano.

Subscribed. Excited to see more

Thinking in numbers is what I do normally. I dig this approach.

I've been using the same approach of learning what chord tone is used in the melody. When learning songs lately, I learn the melody and chords and then chord melody. The chords I have used in the past have been the basic shapes and learning the chord melody has helped to break out of that mold.

amazing amazing play

Gorgeous playing on a beautiful tune there, what a wonderful tele sound! Great learning advice on the "number stuff" too, I've certainly done too little of both roman numeral analysis and analyzing melody notes against chord roots.

Phenomenal. Thank you.

That transpose button was dope. Need to find it on my instrument ASAP

Awesome ❤

Noel! 🎸🔥

I say this all the time, but this clean tone is just to die for. Such a sweet sound

Reminds me of some George Benson a little bit.

This is wonderful and opportune. My snow day mission this winter is to learn a bunch of new chord melodies. Now I’ll be doing some chord charts with melody notes. What app did you use for the chord chart? Thanks for posting this!

You had me at the intro

When you’re doing the intro are you just thinking in terms of chord shapes? Always lovely to hear as per usual 😊

Ur so nasty, man. great phrasing, great approach! Love your personality and excited to check ur stuff out more

@nohjoh08 do you have this tab for purchase?

Three years late to the party, but thought I’d mention this in case any viewers are going down this rabbit hole. There is an excellent book titled “How Equal Temperament Ruined Harmony” that describes the history of temperaments in excruciating detail. Amazingly, it’s fun to read. Thanks Noel for the excellent demonstration!

🤯🤯🤯🤯

So Beautiful. I can imagine playing that in a huge old Catholic church

Great lesson, again ... Recognizing (familiar) shapes on the fretboard is an essential ability for any student of the guitar, for the absolute beginner as for the seasoned pro. When I watch players here this actually helps me more (I learn faster) than any tabs that might be included. IMHO we learn just as much by sight as by ear....🤓

"Reminders of something what you've played before..." SO TRUE and logical but seldom taught.... I discovered your series just recently and I LOVE it !!! Your passion for this stuff shines bright, my horizon gets stretched every time and I enjoy every minute, a BIG Thank You, Sir !

Oh my gosh, I thought I was so slick with my electric guitar arrangement... But MAN, it never occurred to me to use open strings! Beautiful arrangement. Well done!! 👏🎉

Happy New Year Noel! Thanks for this! Also: any chance you’re working on a video for Melodic Minor? I loved the one on “Modal Shapes (Harmonic Minor)”🙏🏽 Thanks again

Amazing!

Thats so cool! A few months ago i arranged "Komm oh Tod du Schlafes Bruder" for guitar, as far as i know there is no version on the web! Such a good piece, its tricky on the guitar but besides 2 or 3 exceptions, where it was physically imposible to grab (for me) all pitches are represented

Wow what a lesson
