        Learned this Ted Greene inspired chord melody a couple years ago…wish I could remember it!

        Hope you all have a great Holiday! 🎄

          Thanks!

          Just focus on the notes you DID get right . . . Frank Vignola

              Beautifully played Bill, loved the full and subtle passing chords, gave it that After Hours festive feel.

                  Lovely! You dialed in the perfect tone as well. Your guitar and set up is so dynamic. All the frequencies are ‘heightened.’ You got this chord melody thing and have inspired me immensely to lean in this direction. Of course, I love the ‘stand alone’ arrangements (country blues, ragtime blues, bluegrass etc. etc.) but this approach is so meaningful. I have to fully understand something before I can embrace it and am looking for some good resources for developing my chops. Any suggestions? Have a wonderful Christmas with family and friends. Keep on rockin’ into the new year.

                                      I’m still untwisting my fingers from some of those voicings. 😵‍💫
                                      This was from an arrangement by Alex Farran on YouTube.

                                      Wow that’s sounding wonderful!!! Love these sweet jazzy chords with the melody.
                                      And you played it with soo much feel. Great tone!
                                      Yes there’s much finger stretch but it was worth learning it.
                                      Wish you and your family all the best for the New Year.
