		Hi GMC, in the previous lessons we have seen different concepts about chords, inversions and voicing. I made this lesson to show you an effective way, using chords and simple lines, to create a jazzy sound. Usually, in this style, the jazz player is playing some chords with the melody line on top.



In this lesson there is no spoken part, because we have seen the chord theory in the previous lessons.

Check "Jazz Notes 1: Building Chords",  "Jazz Notes 7: Finding Voicings" and "Jazz Notes 8: Extended chords".



The fingerpicking technique can help with some voicing - as example when we must skip some string to play a chord - and it's also a great tool to create interesting bass lines with the thumb. About this topic, check also my old Walking Bass Lesson.



Enjoy!
