What's your approach to embellishing chord progressions? Post below.

[@seanarooni]

great lesson! i like to use "parallel motion" to step between chords.

[@Mcbreezy_ii]

Relative major/minor triads, triad pairs

[@4evermetal92]

For those curious about the diminished passing chords he uses a lot .They are just stacked 3rd’s meaning it is the exact same chord 3 frets up or down just arranged in a different order. Little hack on diminished chords. Fantastic playing and video as per usual!

[@Kerry2smooth]

Thanks Zac!

[@MrRed-bk9xn]

🔥 Removing the mystery of how to play R&B. Thanks

[@Kerry2smooth]

Anytime!

[@bobBob-yz9ur]

Man I've been stagnant in my playing for many years. Starting to progress again now that I've found your channel.

[@OriginalOldSkoolFunk]

Thousands of R&B/Soul songs comes directly out of that simple progression. Isley Bros, Ray Parker, Jr. BarKays, Cameo, Brick, Prince, Brothers Johnson, EWF and countless others made a living with these Holy Grail chords. 👊🏾

[@kensmechanicalaffair]

Not exactly

[@OriginalOldSkoolFunk]

@@kensmechanicalaffair Okay, I didn't actually count them so maybe not thousands, but I definitely would say hundreds for sure. 🙄

[@chewycenter7690]

You have absolutely perfected the guitar teacher camera setup. All fretboard shot should be done like that. I could see which fingers hit which which strings and when and it's close to the player's line of sight. Bravo!

[@KevinPlaysGuitar]

Another awesome lesson! I like how there's so much you can do in a 3 chord progression.

[@WindOnMyWings]

[@martynspooner5822]

Your playing is always so tasty and you have your own sound which is something I hope I can get to one day. Really liked how you used the chromatic runs and those diminished chords that fitted so perfectly. Thanks for posting and sharing.

[@Kerry2smooth]

you're welcome!

[@DavidLightWill]

[@taneil408]

[@Donnie_80]

That legendary pinky movement is 🔥 but so hard to do

[@Furnarin]

Thank you!

[@BobK5]

Hey you’ve got some great guitars there 😎

[@tyeames1903]

You sound proficient on the bass can you do lessons on that in the coming times

[@shariffajardotraining3537]

Great stuff as always!! I see that you played all the chords in the key of F Major. Recycling as you said the different chord options in the key. I’m still trying grasp when it is you decided to use the diminished. Between the 2 & 3 chord or 3 & 4 chord??

[@DalelCampbell]

I may be the only one but I will love to know where the root is for these chords. I understand that your not necessarily hit beginners, and I wouldn't consider myself a beginner but it's hard for me to figure out where the roots are for each shape.

[@AaronLS.]

How do you know where to put the diminished chords? And are there other shapes for it?

[@GoatKnt]

what is that background bass sound u playing I wanna use it just like u did it ?

[@kbrmusic8884]

Can you please break it all down real slow so we can get it?

[@MultiKINGWAYNE]

Kerry putt the chords on the screen

[@emilienbialecki448]

That blue guitar 🤮🤮🤮🤮 Still love you brother 😂😂😂
