ARE CHORD GRIDS A THING OF THE PAST?
I may be in the minority here, but I am a fan of the chord grid notation style. It seems that everything new is being published as standard notation. Is that to be the case moving forward?6 Comments-

The problem that we have with chord grids is that they take a lot of extra work for me since they have to be hand drawn by yours truly.

The new ATTYA packages are awesome. There are so many soloing strategies through the chord changes. I feel like a kid in a candy store. It’s one thing to practice 2-5-1s or 1-6-2-5s etc, in static positions, but Tim really puts them in perspective all over the fret-board. I’ve had more than one “Oh, you can do it that way” moments. It opens up the…Read More

Really enjoying the Tune of the Month courses, thanks Tim! My guitar time is a bit limited at present, so I will post an earlier version (2022) of this month’s tune. One chorus of a basic chord melody, one chorus of soloing using some licks and ideas, one chorus of comping and l sang the last chorus. Going forward I am looking to reference my…Read More
