Soumia Ghechami breaks down how she composed the original track, her approach to chord voicings and progressions, and how she incorporates chords into heavy riffs.
Beautiful guitar chords recommended by Ichika Nito
I've been working through the Jazz Guitar Pathway on Pickup Music. Most recently, I worked through lessons on the major and minor 2-5-1 chord changes and how to practice for them. One of the practice ideas is to practice scales, changing the scale as needed as you play through the chord progression. The practice ideas taught in the pathway are ok but I think the Barry Harris method might be a little better for reinforcing the sound of the chord changes in your head while practicing the scales. Some of the videos on Pickup Music have a gear icon which must be clicked to access teh speed settings, so that the video may be slowed down. One annoying bug is the popup menu with the speed setting appears and immediately disappears. A hack I found is to click the transcript icon. The transcript will take up half the video space. The gear icon should reappear in the other half of the video space. Now you can click the gear and select the speed.
Nice lesson on the Barry Harris approach to practicing scales for a jazz standard and practicing the chromatic scale
If the above lesson is too challenging, this is a more basic intro to the Barry Harris way of practicing scales for chord changes:
Not really a lesson, just a fun backing track for practicing funk guitar riffs, stylings, etc.
Another video that can be used for practicing soloing ideas
