I made this easy for you by selecting my favorite 5 into a Youtube playlist, • Use your Brain – Analyze the structure of the song. How many sections are there? Do chords repeat?

What key is it in? Hint: The form is A A B A and LOTS of chords repeat, and the key is G Major or E minor (same thing). • Learn the Words – Learning lyrics not only helps you to memorize a song but enables you to really dig into the meaning of it. Your national anthem isn’t just a nice melody it has meaning and significance.

Chord Melody Solos - I am using Jimmy Wyble's two line techniques and moving into walking bass lines and then adding some four to the bar comping while all the time implying the melody. My feeling about this arrangement is that it brings a very full pianistic quality to the arrangement. Prelude #2 by George Gershwin, is an arrangement that I did years ago. I still love the contrapuntal qualities as well as the bluesy feel of this music.

A chord melody arrangement that plays off of the melody some improvised figures included. This arrangement incorporates material that I have learned from Jimmy Wyble's contrapuntal concepts. Check out the 2 etudes and you will see where many of these ideas came from. Mostly improvised with hints of the melody.

Read through the Wyble Etudes #1 and #2 and find the phrases that I used in the Black Orpheus solo. This arrangement also uses some of the same concepts that I have learned from Jimmy Wyble.

The sound file is close to the printed page but not exact. I tried my best to play what I wrote! Enjoy - This arrangement came about as a result of my study with the late great Ted Greene. Ted's arrangement was in a different key. Also Ted's arrangement was for electric guitar and didn't cross over well to the nylon string instrument. This revision transposed many of his ideas, revoiced many of his chords, changed fingerings and simplified some of his chord voicings.

I tried to keep the essence of Ted's ideas and voice leading. He was such a master of chord melody guitar playing.

I made this arrangement after hearing about Ted Greene's untimely passing. We had worked on Baroque improvisation and had analyzed Bach's music during the time that I studied with him. I have also had the opportunity to spend some time with Joe Diorio learning how he used Bach's ideas in his improvisations. This solo uses three different themes from the Courante from Partita #1 for solo violin the Fugue from Sonata #1 and an excerpt from Jimmy Wyble's Etude #1.

I reworked the themes loosely around the melody and harmony from 'Alone Together'. I use this arrangement quite often as an introduction to the tune. I added a few bars of the tune at the end to show how I might transition into the jazz standard in swing time. This is a new arrangement of mine using many of Jimmy Wybles techniques for two line improvisation. What I like most about thist arrangement is the fact that even though I don't state the melody, it is still in the arrangement as Jimmy's two line techniques imply the melody beautifully. This is a new arrangement of mine posted July 5,2009 using many of Jimmy Wybles techniques for two line improvisation. What I like most about thist arrangement is the fact that the melody becomes part of the counterpoint.

Brazilian choro music is one of my favorite styles of music to play. This arrangement would work in almost every solo guitar gig that I could ever imagine. Del Casher Material - Del asked me to help him prepare a lesson for my website. This is a great work that I know you will enjoy.

James Seaberry Material - This lesson evolved from a series of emails where we sent ideas back and forth and they finally ended up in a great arrangement.
