Lesson Description:
This week's lesson is a comprehensive rootless voicings guitar tutorial, all about rootless chords for guitar players. Rootless voicings are super fun and understanding them can majorly broaden how we view the fretboard. Several application examples and plenty of easy-to-follow diagrams are included so you can clearly see and hear what's going on. I talk about rootless jazz chords as well as how rootless chord voicings can be used in the context of songwriting in more of a pop style. In one example you'll see how one single chord shape can be used as FIVE different chords. I hope you enjoy and have a lovely week full of creativity.

Rootless voicings and rootless chords will come in very handy if you’re playing with a bass player, but knowledge of them also just simply helps us see how much chords overlap with each other, which is helpful for mastering the fretboard.
I hope you enjoyed this lesson and found it beneficial. Let me know what you thought. Thanks! :)

    I discovered your channel a few days ago and I'm hooked! I have watched a bunch of your videos and really enjoy the way you explain things (apart from you speaking a bit too fast, but maybe it's because English is not my native language), making them easy to understand. I hope that more people become aware of this high-quality material, and that you keep releasing more videos.

    as a blues guitar player I use rootless chords all the time, the half diminished shape root 4th or 5th string more than anything else . If I include the root in the chord I am using it is often buried in the chord, never on the bottom.Thanks for this awesome lesson, I will look into replacing those root notes with some other extension , I really never stop to think about it , sometimes habit can be a stop to creativity.

    Great stuff! I recently was rebuffed for voicing the Em7b5 and the A7b9 in Stella as altered C7 dom chords, explaining the progression resolving to the Eb maj7. I was told there was no root in the C dom voicings because there was no root. I explained as long as the 3rd and 7th was in tact I didn’t need a root. I was basically told it was “hysterical and was mis information.” I also was admonished for seeing an Am7b6 as a Dm7 voicing, explaining how the f note in the Am made that work. I don’t think I’m wrong based on your fine lesson here.

    I've been using just 3 notes to make chord extensions. 1 note on string 1, next note on string 2, last note on string 3, and doing the same with strings 2, 3 and 4. Starting with the Major and Minor root, 3rd, 5th note triad inversions. I shift either the root back to make a 7th chords or forward to make a 9th chord. I shift the 3 back for minor or forward for sus4. I shift the 5 back for flat 5th or sharp 11, forward for 13. I notice you add a forth string when extending beyond 7th chords. I realize this helps put more information in the chord if the sound of the song demands more information to truly get the feeling. Though I like just taking the most important 3 notes and just using 3 strings. Do I have a good method for creating extensions and is this a good way to play guitar? Will I run into any issues? I want to play jazz and Stevie Wonder type R&B and Gospel which uses a lot of extensions.

    You're method is great! I love that. Excellent way to go about it. The only issue you could run into is missing low frequency information but if you're playing with a bass player then you're set and that's a great way to play chords. nice work! Thanks for asking -Jared **

    When we say chords voicing? You can extract the intervals of the said intetvals of a certain modes or scale... Example of chords voicing? 1-2-3-4-5-6-7?we use 1?and 4 and 7and 3 and 6=C quartal voicing..a simple extracture of voicing... That's a voicing of ionian mode.

    I'm favor of that musical theory bro..its important to used the root to not confused..... Why you can't used the root note of your chords? It's a invent theory... Example of CM7? Yes we can cancel the root.. 1-3-5-7=M7,we cancel the root it's still the M7 chords...
