Comp over Any Standard using these 2 Chord Shapes

[@stevegiedosh5407]

This is easily the simplest, most straight forward way anybody has ever explained comping to me. The real cool thing about this is that he also gives you the lego blocks to write jazz arrangements. Fantastic lesson.

Ritchie that just blew me away i never knew that thankyou keep up the good work

[@guitarlots]

Great lesson

[@mikikomurdoch5985]

Love these 2 chord shapes and the way they sound in Night & Day!

[@dkwvt13]

Very helpful lesson and very nice riffing at the end... Cool modern sound and seems really approachable, Night and Day was a good choice of (very) standard to demo... Thank you...!

[@blacklonggadogg]

Thank you, Maestro Richie!

[@Djangoat68]

Thanks, Richie, excellent breakdown as always!

[@NorbertNagyNorc]

"Bringing you a very awesome lesson" - agreed, no need for false modesty when you're great :D

Brilliant work RZ as always

Also - to viewers - if you're not subscribed to Richie's site and received the "20th Century Jazz Guitar" ebook, you should do so right now!

Hello fine sir, It would be fabulous if you did a video on 4 note enclosures on the arpeggio notes, for example on Cmaj7 all the 4 note enclosure for the C, then the E and so on. Basically how many different varieties on a enclosure you use for each note in the chord and also the 4 note enclosures on dominant altered tones .etc thanks for your videos

Wow, Ritchie, shape 2d meshes right in with pattern 6 Super Locrian of Module 6 of your Bebop Guitar Improv course Volume 1 (this is a plug for the course!)

[@RichieZellon]

True, fits like a glove. Glad you noticed!

[@dinomarco6857]

Great lesson !! Thank you !!

[@JohnA000]

Beautiful chords Richie and good to know but arthritis in my hand makes them quite difficult at times.

[@RichieZellon]

Ouch, sorry about that!

[@rohankohli6838]

Thanks, awesome video! Does anyone have tips for a beginner - whether it's more useful to start here - learn how to comp using just two shapes, or instead master all the different chord types and shapes in different parts of the fretboard first. I'm trying to understand what level of guitarists this video is targeted at, what are the assumed pre-requisites for getting the most out of this tutorial. Thank you!

[@rohankohli6838]

I heard the part that says the idea is to be able to combine these two shapes with other shapes in your chordal vocabulary and use them all, but I was just trying to figure out where to start

[@RichieZellon]

Hi Rohan, if you are a beginner at jazz guitar, I wouldn't advice that you start here. Try to learn and use the more conventional "drop voicing" based chords before you incorporate these shapes.

[@rohankohli6838]

Thank you very much :)

[@Datanditto]

Great

[@MichaelGuzzo]

Richie: "This shape is a bit of a stretch..." Me: "Arrrgh, my fingers don't do this!"

[@RichieZellon]

Try the 2nd shape...it's easier.🙂

[@richardfallows1259]

very cool but my fingers wont stretch that far have you got two easier ones

[@RichieZellon]

Sorry, but if you can't stretch at least for the 2nd shape which spans 4 frets, I suspect you have a technique problem because that is a norm in many jazz guitar chords. It has very little to to do with the size of your fingers, but instead with the way you place them and your hand on the fretboard. 🙂

[@sclogse1]

The laugh effects section is a bit iffy, but this guy knows his snitzle. I wonder if you'd ever want to do a piece about composing that isn't necessarily guitar oriented. Like looking at how Bernard Herrmann or Jerry Goldsmith get their voicing ....

[@robertgannon2586]

Yeah, peace, love, schitzo...whatever? Good ideas, thanks.
