Beautiful singing Mr. Lerch!

It would behove every guitarist who sees this to spend more time developing their singing, both for widening their musical scope for employability as a potential singer, but also to better internalize the lessons Tim is trying to relay.

This lesson has brought me so much happiness . I'm really grateful for Tim's mastery, generosity and his relaxed style of presentation. It's such a relief from the usual attention seeking content

I have my first duo gig comping with a singer in years tomorrow and you upload this - bizarre! Thank you!

Great lesson, Tim. As a senior citizen, i would also point your listeners to the roughly 4 CDs that Joe Pass recorded with Ella in the 1970/80’s. And (a little busier) the first 2 CDs by Tuck and Patti in the late 1980’s.

This is great! There isn’t much out there about accompanying a singer. Can’t wait for more lessons on this topic!

Glad you enjoyed it. There is plenty of my stuff that is available for a fee so this acts as an invitation to go further with your study. There are support opportunities listed in the description.

Beautiful stuff Great insights And really nice approach to “teaching” which is a very hot can o worms these days when many are super sensitive to their paradigm being shifted😉👍

I love this. Thank you!

@shurymury Ай бұрын

Thank you! Very useful! A lot to work on too. "Usually first inversion leads very nice to the next chord" - to comprehend that alone I had to spent 10 minutes. Looking forward to more videos on this subject!

@RaineyDaysStudio Ай бұрын

Just as one music lover to another - spend some time to learn the inversions and triads and all that! It will take your playing (and enjoyment of playing!) to a whole new world, especially for jazz!

@shurymury Ай бұрын

@@RaineyDaysStudio yes! Been banding on that heavily for a year or so. It's just which one to use when. It's all kinda random right now. Never crossed my mind that thought about the first inversion.

Searched this topic yesterday for this lesson from anyone - and here it is a day later from my favorite instructor. That's some careful listening. Thanks!

There is a truefire class on that from Martin Taylor. I have not started it myself yet.

Around 4:40 it reminds me of Samara Joy with Pasquale Grasso. She’s got impeccable skills allowing him the freedom to express many options. Thanks for this insightful video.

What a beautiful video with much great information - thank you Tim. May I suggest everyone look up any videos by Australian singer Kristin Berardi and Australian guitarist James Sherlock. I was lucky enough to see these two perform and they gave a masterclass in supporting each other. Also listen to the album by Sammy Davis Jr, accompanied only by guitarist Laurindo Almeida. All the best from Melbourne, Australia.

Great stuff Tim. Just getting myself more comfortable with singing and playing and this is so helpful.

Thanks for sharing what good ethics when you play and accompany any singers especially the melody parts from your past experiences. It will be good if you can do more on this topic for us to learn some good playing practice tips from you.

Terrific lesson, thank you Tim. I have been looking for this kind of advice for a long time. As Jimmy Bruno would say when accompanying another musician, stay out of their way!

I just recently played a concert duo-gig with a trombone player/singer and to my later surprise I used my pick only for about one 3rd of the program and for the rest I played fingerstyle. The program consists of a few classic swing tunes (4/4 and 3/4) , Bossa Nova, Gospel-Jazz and semi-classical stuff, on electric archtop and classical guitar. I'm lucky to have a well developed picking hand through years of classical training and I can only encourage players to start "pumping nylon" , i.e. develop independence for your thumb, index, middle and ring finger. It doesn't matter whether you use nails or fingertips, the ability to pluck independently is the key factor. One other tip : check out "Rachel & Vilray" and his superb songwriting, playing and singing, that is world-class stuff !!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3y2e36sjbR3p8U And the great Larry Koonse : kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5LQi3uHq92ogaM

Thank you, Mr. Lerch. Thanks for your singing, it sounds great and underscores your message. I especially like the advice of staying off the first and second strings. In general in your playing do you tend to include the 5th (A) string in your chords or not?

Hi Tim. We met you at The Vintage in Port Townsend a few months ago, where we actually played the following day Thanks for the pointers. I have a slightly different situation: My wife (great vocalist) also plays guitar, but has a mostly Country background, and doesn't play Swing type stuff, although she's really great with basic open chords and some up the neck. We are playing Western Swing, Older Country (Jimmie Rodgers, Hank Williams), a bit of early Chicago Blues (the other Jimmy Rogers) a few Standards, etc and she is very solid but, as I said, fairly basic. (Actually she does surprisingly well with her limited chord voicings) I play bass lines, fills, and more advanced voicings, and that works pretty well, but I'm just wondering how you would approach this situation?
