Yo yo yo… Whats up, its Claude J here with another video update!
The DVDs are just about to ready to be pressed… Check this out - it’s
just a few of dozens of examples showing harmonization patterns.
In this case, we start on the E7 chord, harmonize it via the
major scale… Then add some open strings, and into some
other variations. Check it out! 
Nice stuff:)
Thanks for the video, it helped for me for some new songs=)
Keep rockin…
Another great eye opener. I AM learning, and I AM improving. Thanks, Claude, it works,, and as with anything, PRACTICE-PRACTICE-PRACTICE!
I think you can really learn a lot about it; It shows many things in guitar playing and it learns guitar playing in a very simple way
Claude has a very nice easy to understand way of teaching. He is the real deal! Thanks Claude
That is so cool! I like the way you teach.
Thanks,
Dan
Why don’t you include the tab or cord diagrams? It’s hard to see exactly which strings you are pressing on. Does your DVD come with tab?
I hope the DvD Is a little bit easy to see where you are placing your fingers on the strings but your teaching is the best yet.
i think its great you are not including tab with theese lessons beginning guitarist rely on it to heavily i could see using it on some more complicated lead examples or more full bodied chord works like the use of add9’s e.g., but when learning to play people shoud focus more on the names of the note instead of the fret number on a tab line. tablature is a learning tool not a learning process the goal here is to understand the harmonization within the chords not just to learn to play a cool riff. after learning the harmonization within the chords begining guitarists should try to aplly this theory to a different chord group even if its just dropping the riff down a string and playing it in a7, also try continuing the chord harmony all the way up the neck diatonically to the 12th fret. thanks claude
actually, I am including tabs in How to Play Smokin Blues course, but there’s no tabs with the new blues tracks. Yet, at least… Maybe that’s a good idea
The blues tracks are most fun for improvising leads and solos. - Claude
hey love the lessons, sorry I cant buy any of your lessons unforntunatly I am poor, ha ha I was just hoping you would be able to send be some scales that will help me accaure some different blues sounds but I relitivly easy and or explained through number tabs rather then actual notes cause I might be retarted and I dont completly understand what you mean when you talk about A7,G7 things like that and please try to show exactly what finger should go on what fret and what string it would be a big help
why not show the tabs
What he means by “A7″ is a chord. I’m not sure how you’d fret it, because I’m a SUPER NEWBIE at guitar, but it’s essentially A-C#-E-G in the case of A7.
You should try to get at least a mild base of music theory under your belt. I learned music theory as a singer, and now I’m making an ass of myself trying to learn the guitar, but I’ve felt like my music theory has helped me “play around” whenever I get bored or annoyed by any particular thing I’m trying to learn.
