Tired of sounding like a campfire strummer? In this guitar lesson, we’re moving beyond basic open chords to master extended guitar voicings. This is the definitive step to transition from a beginner to a professional, polished session player sound. 🎸 Download the Extended Chords Cheat Sheet here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/152435645 In this deep dive, we skip the boring music theory math and focus on practical application. You will learn how to inject "color" and sophisticated textures into your playing by using 7ths, Major 7ths, and 9ths. In this video, you’ll learn: ✅ The "Pro" Swap: Why standard chords sound "flat" and how to fix them instantly. ✅ Movable Voicings: Simple shapes you can use in any key across the fretboard. ✅ Real-World Examples: Watch how swapping a standard G Major for a dreamy Gmaj7 transforms the entire vibe of a song. Mastering jazz chords and blues extensions isn't just for pros—it's for anyone who wants to stop playing "boring" chords and start sounding like their favorite artists. #GuitarLesson #ExtendedChords #GuitarTips #IntermediateGuitar #MusicTheory #GuitarChords #jazzguitar guitar lessons petersham, guitar teacher petersham, adult guitar lessons petersham, learn guitar petersham, private guitar tuition petersham, guitar teacher lewisham, guitar lessons lewisham, adult guitar lessons lewisham, guitar teacher stanmore, guitar lessons stanmore, adult guitar lessons stanmore, guitar teacher marrickville, guitar lessons marrickville, adult guitar lessons marrickville, beginner guitar for adults marrickville, guitar teacher dulwich hill, guitar lessons dulwich hill, adult guitar lessons dulwich hill, guitar lessons leichhardt, guitar teacher leichhardt, adult guitar lessons leichhardt, learn guitar leichhardt, guitar lessons annandale, guitar teacher annandale, adult guitar lessons annandale, guitar lessons balmain, guitar teacher balmain, adult guitar lessons balmain, private guitar tutor balmain, guitar lessons rozelle, guitar teacher rozelle, adult guitar lessons rozelle, guitar lessons lilyfield, guitar teacher lilyfield, adult guitar lessons lilyfield, guitar lessons haberfield, guitar teacher haberfield, adult guitar lessons haberfield
In part two of our essential pentatonic licks series, we’re staying in 1st position Am pentatonic. This specific lick is a game-changer because it targets the notes within an Am7 chord. Learning to hit chord tones within your scales is the secret to making your solos sound "connected" to the backing track. In today's One Minute Wednesday, I'll show you how to navigate this classic position while outlining the harmony perfectly. What you’ll learn: A melodic Am pentatonic lick in the "open" or 1st position. Why this lick works so well over an Am7 chord. #GuitarLicks #Am7 #PentatonicScale #GuitarTheory #OneMinuteWednesday #GuitarLesson #Shorts ✔️ Lesson enquiries - http://simonmorel.com ✔️ Charts for all my YouTube lessons - https://www.patreon.com/simonmorel ✔️ Connect with me - https://linktr.ee/simonmorel ✔️ Subscribe : https://www.youtube.com/simonmorelguitar?sub_confirmation=1 Am pentatonic lick, 1st position pentatonic, Am7 guitar lick, guitar soloing, chord tone soloing, One Minute Wednesday, guitar lesson, pentatonic scale shapes, blues guitar.
