Chord Voicings For Guitar

A chord Voicing is a simple music term to remember, it's about adding Melody to to chords you play. It can be done on chords during both Rhythm guitar or finger picking.

The most popular way is to use the high E outside string to play the melody part,while the rest of the strings play the chording, almost the same as you do on a piano.
Let me give a couple examples.......
First the KOOL JAZZ Song above was created with Chord Voicings, the chords where arranged on the guitar to create the melody, up and down the guitar neck.

Also I am going to repost that Kool Jazz Song Below again......Please notice that the red dot is used to help show how chord voicings maybe played.
When playing the Gm7 Chord and adding your little pinky finger to the red dot(Which is an A note or the 9th note in the G minor scale ), you then create a Gm9 Chord, this is one way chord voicings are created.If you notice also in the example below, the F#7 chord is also changed to an F#9 chord, by adding the little pinky finger to the G# note, which is the 9th note in the scale, use to create that chord.

Below we are going to play a Funky Kool,Rock Guitar Boogie, I did place the suggested strum for the Rhythm Guitar, Please following instructions Closely !! The arrows show the downward or upward strums, also not there's a couple dead hit beats, call Palm muting.

This song uses only 1 barr chord postion, sliding up and down the neck to different frets, besure you have your frets right, the only changes in the chording comes from the 2nd high string, this string is now the string being used for the chord voicings. Also please remember as you become more advanced on songs, you can add chord voicings in melodies from any of the the 6 strings, in a song. Learn to listen to what sounds best.
