Thanks very much for the feedback Richie.

Not sure why the video link didn’t work. I’ve changed it to “unlisted”: https://youtu.be/43FsSHYfDI4

I just discovered that we can skip chord tones. For some reason I thought we were constrained to not moving more than a 3rd. So that should help my note choices on the next one.

Thanks again!

If I can ever find the time, I’d like to post some videos slowing down solos of several great jazz guitarists, and pointing out measure by measure, how all their fingerings are included in the heptatonic system, regardless of what anyone may be calling it!

This would be amazing and a huge help.

Thanks for sharing that, that’s a nice app. LOVE that it’s free AND no ads.

I believe I am overlooking something. Those numbers refer to the fret, not the fingers. They just so happen to match each other with the exception of that Eb.

Back to practicing…

Hi! I just joined the Gold tier and finished the Chord Studies 1 video.

Question: How proficient do we need to be with the minor 7, major and dominant chord voicings (no extensions)? At one point in the video Richie comments that we rarely use those ‘plain’ voicings and instead opt for the versions with extensions.

In light of the above, how quickly should I be able to play through the plain voicings moving through the descending circle of 5ths? It seems like we should focus more time/energy on getting the versions with the extensions under our fingers than perfecting the ‘plain’ voicings.

Thoughts?
