Chord Melody method books?

Sign in to disble this ad
Hi Todd
I have started to get into chord melodies for a while (after listening to a bunch of Joe Pass). I played your transcription of bye bye blackbird but as I was trying to play chord melodies through other standards it was a bit difficult to find voicings which would be comfortable to play. I found myself doing to many large stretches.
Are there any chord melody method books which you would suggest. I thought about getting one of Joe Pass' books but the guitar tuning wouldn't work with my 6 string.

Yep....go to my website www.toddjohnsonmusic.com/store .....scroll down and order my "Fishin for Grips" book and DVD. This is my method for teaching you how to play chord melody on 6 string bass.....it's exactly what you're looking for.

You might also consider taking internet video chat lessons with me once you get the basics of the book under your hands.

Cool???

Cool....
