Thanks! Let me just say I'd put a "like" on Doug's posts too.

I do consider "chord melody" as applying to melody over block chords as opposed to melody over arpeggiated harmony.

I suggest learning to play Funk, (step brother of Jazz) for full satisfaction and self-expression, enjoying the progression of chord dynamics that rule the gamut fingerboard of guitar FX. * No wrong notes allowed in Funk.

Always loved that one from your CCL CD. Sure looks easy enough but, alas, a classic case of Howard making the difficult look effortless.

Hi all of you guys.
Thanks to all of you who have contributed to my question on chord melody I would like to name you all here but it’s not the point I know who you are and appreciate your comments. What I got from your comments was that not all chord melody is jazz and will look forwards to exploring it more on YT ,if I was having a party /get together I would invite you all round , thanks again. Cheers |

I have a hard time living within strict rules. If you're playing chord melody and suddenly decide to arppegiate a few notes do you get thrown out of the club? :-) it's music, do what sounds musical to express yourself. Labels are meaningless. To me, the appeal of "chord melody" is that you can play solo guitar, melody and accompaniment - a complete song. Fingerstyle players do it, classical players do it, some flatpickers do it. Some jazz players do it. it's all good, and I'd hate to say "no, no, I refuse to play anything that isn't a block chord under a melody line"!
In any case, here's a couple of non-jazz arrangements that are quite in the "block chords under a melody" style. Maybe start with these, and explore these players other approaches. Tommy Emmanuel, song starts a 1:40. Nothing but a chord underneath virtually every melody note. Tony Rice, song starts at 3:00. Again, almost purely chord shapes under nearly every melody note:

This to me is a song played using—mostly—a chord melody (after a 15-second intro)—is this the type of song/arrangement you are referring to?

For those who have gigantic hands, Tommy Emmanuel’s Those Who Wait is a deceptively difficult masterclass in chord melodies: I don’t think I could play some of those chords on a GS Mini! Are you looking for songs/videos along those lines? Lessons? If you used a Vidami to slow down and loop the video, I think you could figure it out bit by bit. Jerry’s Guitar Bar has a lot of great lessons, and they are organized by level. |

One thing Joe did a lot (on his amazing level) that I like to try at my non-amazing level is to play quite a bit of a tune with plain, single notes while sprinkling a few chord changes in between. If there's a note in the tune that's the same as the top note of a chord voicing, win-win! And if you keep the time going somewhat -- which Joe mostly didn't -- it won't seen jazzy. |
