jazz?

Re: jazz?

I'm on my way to getting very fluent with chord inversions and rhythm playing, and I've seen my jazz skills and fluidity skyrocket over the past two weeks.

Playing chords using tones all over the neck really helps to get familiar with the guitar and the sounds. I've also found that as you traverse upward playing the same chord, but in different locations, you could produce a series of melody notes within playing the same chord. It's a really simple concept, but it has really turned my playing around.

Right on...thats the right idea...try to explore the instrument as melodically as possible. It is really good to try to come up with lots of stuff you can do over a given harmony, too.
