*UPDATED!.. I've added 2 extra files to download below that contain some less stretchy options for some of those chords.. just incase ;)

Full lesson materials for my in depth tutorial on using the kinds of chords you'll hear players like Barney Kessel, Johnny Smith and Joe Pass using. We also draw influence from players like Jim Hall, Ted Greene and Barry Harris to add a ton of interesting voicings and ideas to play around with! This will add some real authenticity to your jazz progressions and accompaniments.

Get these materials printed out and to hand so that when the video goes live at 12:30, you can follow along. Today's lesson is gonna be jam packed with all of that 1950's jazz style.. Barney Kessel and Joe Pass style chord choices.. with a touch of Johnny Smith and Jim Hall. And a few Ted Greene and Barry Harris manoeuvres thrown in for good luck. You'll learn how to turn the regular changes as seen in the "Real Book" etc and turn them into something more authentic. Substitutions, inversions, alterations.. you name it!

This is really something I can dig into. it is amazing the effort you put into these videos so I wanted to acknowledge the work - I am mainly interested in solo chord melody pieces so this version of Misty teaches me so many of the skills needed.

Michael Sosebee

Alex I have to agree with MarkF above. You really put your heart and soul into these lessons. Thank-you!

Alex Farran Guitar

Thank you Michael, I’m so glad that comes across in the videos! 🙏🏻

Alex Farran Guitar

Thank you so much Mark, your comment means a lot to me. I’m glad my passion for this music comes across in the videos 🙏🏻

Jerome Oks

Your choice of songs and artists are all on the money for me. Are you familiar with (Boston based) Duke Levine? If not, I suspect you would really enjoy his music.

Alex Farran Guitar

Thanks Jerome, I'm glad we have similar tastes! Yes indeed, Duke is one of my favourite modern Americana players.. so tasteful and tone-ful. One of the best there is!

Alex could you check the zip file of Misty Classy chords YouTube lesson. The pdf and mp3 contains an error and it is not possible unzip them! Thanks

Alex Farran Guitar

Hi Jazz, thanks for the message. Strangely I know for sure they've worked for other people so I'm not sure what's going on there I'm afraid. I'll upload them as separate files under the post too and will email the files directly to you. Cheers buddy :)

andrew peterson

When using the Barry Harris method of chord melody, do you typically change scales when you go the the 4 chord?

Gert De Groof

Man…this is where the value for money comes in… I can watch this a hundred times and learn something new every time! Thanks Alex

Alex Farran Guitar

Thanks Gert, it is a deep lesson for sure. More in the "classy chords" series coming very soon!

Gert De Groof

Hey Alex, hope you are doing well. Going through some harmony analysis in learning Misty. One question: bar 4, the Db7, would I be right if I see it as a backdoor dominant of Eb7, it being the VII7? Coming from the Abm which would be the ivm. Or would you pinpoint this otherwise? Thank you!

Alex Farran Guitar

exactly my friend, you can see it as backdoor dominant to EbMaj7, or you can see it through the lens of iv minor also (you could even voice the Db9 with the Ab in the bass instead of Db.. now it'll look even more clearly like the iv minor) - I like to think of it this way as it means I just have to play Ab melodic minor scale over it when improvising.

Gert De Groof

Great, thanks. Ah, yes, seeing it as related IV7 chord to Am7/Am6 in melodic minor does make more sense than a term like ‘backdoordominant’, which I think I only just now can make sense of… 👍
