💬 Lesson Description

This is another episode of my series called "Make it a Chord Melody."

In this part of the series, I talk about improvising jazz guitar chord melodies.

When we play chord melodies, we support every note in the melody with a chord shape.

In this lesson, I teach you how to improvise chord melodies using different voicings of the dominant 7th chord.

So far, we’ve already covered minor 7 chords.

The series is designed to familiarize yourself with chord voicings to be able to harmonize a melody with any chord type.

So by the end of it, you’ll be prepared to improvise jazz guitar chord melodies over any progression that you encounter.

In this week’s video, I go through concrete steps to help you learn some versatile dominant 7 chord voicings.

With some practice, you’ll have the muscle memory to whip them out at a moment’s notice!

I hope you enjoyed this lesson about improvising jazz guitar chord melodies with dominant 7th chords.

Let me know what you thought in the comments.

Thanks! :)
