![]() If you listen to the Live on North Sea Jazz Festival in 2009 you can appreciate the beautiful melodic approach on chords. There are also arrangements such as “You Got a Friend” in which he would play short solos between chords. Most of the time he will just transform a basic chord into an add9, 11 or 13 chord and play around with different voicing. With a combination of fingerpicking control and chords extensions James is able to embellish chords beautifully with single notes around the chord. This is something I also show you in this fingerpicking lessons as I think it adds a lot of personality and beauty the chords. One of the amazing approach of James Taylor is the ability to enrich chords with simple, short and effective melodies. This is definitely one of the most predominant aspect of James Taylor chords. This requires a lot of research, time and meticulous work as well as fingerpicking control and dynamic control.Īnother awesome thing he does a lot is to introduce notes from the next chord usually by connecting a note in common between the two chords. One of the trademark of James Taylor’s approach is transforming simple chords into beautiful sounding pianistic chord progression enriched with minor 7, add9 and 11th chords as well as dominant 7th and bluesy chords. James style is unique and even thought he’s not a virtuoso, his guitar playing is insanely beautiful and rich. He’s influenced many guitar players and singer-songwriter that are today as good and popular as he is. James Taylor’s acoustic guitar and fingerpicking style has been recognizable since the very beginning of his music career back in the 70s. There are three elements that we are going to combine in order to make this chord progression close to the James Taylor style and those are: There is also a B section with this chord progression: Cadd9 | G/B | D. The chord progression you’ll learn is this one: D | Em7 – D | Cadd9 | G/B.
