The Guitar Diaries #10

The main "takeaway" from my latest lesson was the idea of comping using minimal-istic three note chord voicings on strings 6, 4 and 3. The archetype for this style is Freddie Green who apparently played pretty much nothing but this type of comping during his 40 years with Count Basie's orchestra.

We covered a few different progressions to get familiar with the idea, including an old Guitar Player lesson by Lenny Breau.
