Student Reviews: Advanced Jazz Guitar Harmony: 4-Part-4ths

“Wow”

I only knew one aspect of 4th voicings coming into this class (what Tom has listed as 2nd inversion drop 2 voicings). I had no idea how much there still was to learn! Like Tom's other classes this one has a tremendous amount of information, very well presented. I think most of us mere mortals will need to come back to this class over a period of many years to get just some of the information presented here burned into our brains. I would suggest learning one particular group of voicings and then go to about 1:30 in the video (page 13 of the handout) to learn how to improve your fluidity with them. Excellent class.

“Another great lesson from Tom!”

I have purchased many of Tom's lessons from the website and have repeatedly found them fruitful and inspiring. I am sure to get more! Thanks Tom!

Tom is an amazing teacher! He explains these concepts very well and is very thorough with the material. I've been looking for material like this for some time now and this class was exactly what I was looking for! Thank you Tom for a wonderful class. I really look forward to studying more from the classes you are providing :)

This is an awesome class!!!<br /> <br /> Here, you´ll have all the 4-Part-4ths chords well organized in a different charts. You´ll be able to pick the ones you consider your favorites and study them. <br /> <br /> Also, you have examples where you´ll see how to use this chords in different situations.<br /> <br /> If you are looking for a more modern sound, this the class.<br /> <br /> Enjoy<br /> <br />

I came across this amazing and useful lesson on youtube, trying to browse for some jazz theory (voice leading,chord melody)ideas. I am in my thirties and have to use my time sparingly, trying to catch up on studied musicians. At the same time, I try to follow the most recent trends so my playing (and ultimately composition) does not sound old. Mr. Lippincott's piece is of great help in all my efforts. His video come close to my heart as I am also using a seven-string guitar (extra low B).

This video deserves a million stars. I knew some of these voicings but now I have an organized encyclopedia. I'd love to see how to voicelead theses through a more modern tune. I have Kurt's book of compositions and he sounds so fluid playing the changes but when you look at the chart its all over the place. Anyway, that you so much for being so open as an artist Tom. Truly beautiful stuff!<br /> <br /> Also, in the outro are you using your high A and low B strings? Just absolutely gorgeous colors, Thank you.<br /> <br /> Best!
