Thank you for this inspiring speech, it was very helpful for me going forward in music career 👏

Great lesson. Thank you very much for a very clear and easy to follow tutorial.

Thank you Adam for taking the time to do this video ! Have a great weekend !

I get stymied by the avalanche of information out there. I haven't figured out the most efficient way to learn guitar, or music in general, for an older person with not alot of free time. Private lessons haven't been productive in the past, teachers seem mostly geared toward kids. There's got to be a way, but I haven't found it yet!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Really cool explaining 🎉

Isn’t it Cm6= R b3 5 b6?

Thank you Adam for your honesty, I’m doing my best to reach certain level on guitar 🎸 it’s not easy but possible.

Wow! This applies to very many types of endeavors and aspects of life. I started working on my PhD in physics at 39 yrs. and received it 6 yrs. later. There were many smarter than me who didn't make it. Hard work and persistence were key. I have been working on guitar much longer. I am only now getting near to the advanced side of intermediate. Still, I keep pushing. Your channel is super, Adam!

Thanks for this video Adam, very cool!

Social media really amplifies the issue of comparing yourself to others. Especially the way that things are packaged so you only see the good and not the bad. At the end of the day, now that I’m in my late 40s I realize that there is nothing more satisfying than having a hobby you can come home to that is so deep you can spend a lifetime exploring it. Alan Watts has a good lecture about how life is not a race, it’s more like a dance. The goal is not to get to the end as fast as possible, it’s to enjoy things along the way. I have played guitar since I was in high school, but started take flute lessons three years ago in my mid-40s. I started completely from scratch, but I’m now entering the advanced level course at a well-known music program in Tokyo. You can make huge strides in only a few years if do things consistently.

Well said

Cool video!!!

*Does any of this resonate with you?*

I converted to 4ths tuning 12 months ago.. now I can play prog rock/jazz fusion, by ear.. all the patterns are the same.. all I had to do was learn 1/3 the number of scales, modes, triads etc.. all the patterns look the same.. if you know where the tonic, and the 5th are, you can master it 300% faster than traditional campfire guitar tuning (EADGBE).. I converted, I'll never go back..

Nice! Great insights!

Very good stuff Adam.. you're right on the money! ❤

Lovely stuff Adam ❤

This is great, I’ll pick up the PDF. Let’s say you had an Organ synth pedal or a rotary pedal and you wanted to play organ chords, Could you make a lesson on that ( really just asking if it is worth it)? It’s a Curiosity I’ve had for a bit.

Musicians! Should you be blessed with a Bass musician who is better educated than yourself please do not be above correction! You will learn far more with humility than you could ever learn with arrogance! Enjoy!

In which scale is the V7(#5) chord contained? For example, in which scale is the B7(#5) contained? Thank you

Love this lesson. Working on this right now.

Sir ...i dont even know what a shell voicing is.....when i got into guitar i had no idea what i was signing up for it seems overwhelming to listen to these things sometimes

This is a lot of thinking. Does it become natural?

You are the one of the greatest teachers on youtube. :))) Thank you!!

Thank you Adam! Shell voicings are probably the most versatile voicings and I love how composable they are. You can easily extend them, inverse them and lot of time you automatically get drop 2 and drop 3 shapes.

Such a great concept. Thank you, I'll work with them right on. And I think they sound pretty cool .

Great lesson, Adam. Thanks! :) Subscribed.

"Breathe" is probably the best song they ever did.

Everyone hates nickleback until nickleback comes on.

Wonderful lesson. The exact thing I've been working on myself recently but you've got it all figured out and structured. Excellent. Thanks so much for this!

This is great!! thanks my man.

Beautiful analysis !

Adam, The graphics and pace in this lesson are 100% excellent. You have helped me more than I can say. As an old hack of 71, playing around with guitar since 1959, your lessons are making a big difference. I am now is a startup band, here in Mt Shasta, and having fun. I will never be a real guitar player, but you have given my some hope. Thank you so very much.

If you have a bass player all you need are the 3rd and the 7th, and you can often leave them out on altered dominants. This is a great place to start though, and essential for good chord knowledge. If you put a shell close to your ear, you can hear the sea. 😉

Well Done Young Man

Awesome video. Thanks for posting!

Ive been playing Shells but these inversion open my eyes to options thanx

Thank You Adam

Let me know what you thought of this lesson. I think what I call these Shell Chords 2.0 are awesome and I am so excited by their potential for the player of today. ✅The PDF now also contains a bonus lesson at the back to help you learn and understand them quicker, 120 chord shapes, including the 2 bonus chords mentioned in the video. * Get the PDF HERE* ► jazz-rocks-shop.myshopify.com/products/shell-voicings-2-0

Beautiful ending, for sure! Stealing licks and chords from pianists (even more from Evans) ain't easy task, so double kudos to you! Btw, where can I find a "Play jazz" shirt like yours? Txs & all the best, EG

Thanks man, will check it out

Thanks for this! I got to replace a broken potentiometer on my DIG.

Thank you very much for your video! The most important thing for me is that chord tones are not starting points but ending points or target notes. This is also very helpful for me as a saxophonist.

great

I like your teaching and the way you demonstrate your lessons. Do you have any lessons on augmented, chords, and how they apply to plying, and how it can be used.

You are an intriguing player. I dig the lines. Do you have an album or something like that? Filmed gigs? I have to say, it is quite surprising to hear that big-bottom sound coming out of that telecaster-looking ax that seems more like a refugee from surf-rock band or Speghetti Western soundtrack. It's a good first lesson? Because I think Coltrane may have been "outside" a few more boxes than this on Mr PC.
