Western Swing Guitar Fundamentals Part 1

Part 1 of a series of videos on Western Swing Lead Guitar. Students often ask me how to bridge chords or lead chords into one another. This is the first step in doing that.

Thanks!

I really appreciate the Jimmy Rivers shout out. As a guitar player who learned to play in the Bay Area, well, he's our local hero. Watching you play I'd love it if you could connect the dots between Django and classic 40s and 50s Western Swing.

That’s something I have planned for this year. Stay tuned! Please check out my full length Jimmie Rivers course here: mentmorris.podia.com/lead-guitar-style-of-jimmie-rivers

Nice!..I'm all chords...I'm not real strong with single lines..good stuff.

Robert Quinn thanks Robert! If you want to learn more about single lines, check out my course on the Lead Guitar Style of Junior Barnard. mentmorris.podia.com/lead-guitar-style-of-junior-barnard Barnard’s style was soaked in the blues and I use that as the foundation to build up more of his swing influenced lines.

Ment, I love this Western Swing genre but it's brand new to me. You mention there are 5 other "Fundamentals of Western Swing" videos that cover more of the basics to get started. I haven't been able to locate them. Looking for some help. Thx

Thanks for watching! Here is the playlist - the first 5 videos in it, “Soloing Out of Chord Shapes”, is what I mentioned kzbin.info/aero/PLCS36uMiccprOxg7F9Jv3cUHdnfudqEli Additionally, you can get all the music I cover in the 5 part series in Tab/standard notation w/correcting fingers and chords here - mentmorris.podia.com/soloing-out-of-chord-shapes-transcription-pack
