Blue in Green

Have you ever wished you could play on guitar some of those rich, colorful chord voicings, that you often hear in the music of jazz pianists like Bill Evans? I know I did for the longest time, however when I examined some piano transcriptions I found most of them physically impossible to reproduce on the guitar….that is, until I learned to combine open and fretted strings as a means to incorporate intervals of a minor second within chords.

In this video I you’ll learn a finger-style chord melody arrangement of “Blue In Green”…a gorgeous ballad originally recorded by Miles Davis on his classic “Kind of Blue” album. Throughout the lesson I teach you how to play several of the chords as clusters. These are “one of a kind” voicings which feature one or more intervals of a maj/min second. They also incorporate several nested upper extensions. These, by the way, are different varieties of 9ths, 11ths, and 13ths, tightly sandwiched between the basic chord tones.
