Master Chordal Melodies With This Simple Guitar Trick!

Master Chordal Melodies With This Simple Guitar Trick!
🎸 Free Guitar Lessons: jimmydillon.co...
In this lesson, I explore the musicality of cordal melodies and how I incorporate them into my playing. I discuss my approach of working from chords rather than just scales, drawing inspiration from players like Jedd Hughes who masterfully uses double stops in both solos and accompaniment.
Using the key of A as an example, I demonstrate how to navigate the fretboard by following chord shapes and creating melodic phrases using partial chords and double stops. I show various techniques including hammer-ons, base note combinations, and interior melodies commonly found in R&B.
I explain how understanding the locations of key notes like E and A across the neck can free up your playing and lead to more musical phrases. I also cover practical applications moving between chord changes, particularly focusing on A to D9 to E9 progressions, and demonstrate R&B-style double stop movements. While I might hit a few wrong notes along the way, remember there's no game of perfect - it's all about understanding the fundamental relationships between notes on the fretboard.
