Drop 2 Chords: A Complete Guide
About Course
Discover the power of drop 2 chords as you go from inversions to chord melody in a systemic and guided order.
The world of inversions can seem like a never ending cycle of finger twisters, so this course aims to keep things simple by teaching you four inversions for the four main chord types and everything that you can do with them!
Drop 2 chords will enable you to add harmonic interest to your comping and give you the foundations of chord melody guitar.
Jazz guitarists like Joe Pass and Wes Mongtomery used drop 2 chords, so this course will give you the technique required to learn their phrases.
The first half of the course teaches you how to play and understand drop 2 chords, however the main problem with learning chords is
retaining and using them freely.
Therefore, the second and third parts of the course focus on jazz guitar challenges which are proven exercises that will help you internalize and
use what you have learnt in part one.
This course aims to equip you with the chordal techniques required, so that you can go forward comping and creating chord melodies by yourselves.
