Voicing Relay is a new II–V–I–VI workout built around moving a melodic interval of a third horizontally and through multiple string sets.
The challenge is to keep the melodic connection intact while constantly reorganizing the voicing underneath it — a great workout for voice leading, fretboard visualization, chord control, and harmonic flexibility.
In this study
◆ A melodic interval of a third as the connecting thread through every voicing
◆ Each voicing moved horizontally and cycled through different string sets
◆ Voice leading, fretboard visualization, string-set awareness and real-time voicing control
◆ One II–V–I–VI progression, seen from many physical and melodic perspectives

If these ideas speak to you, Hristo has a whole shelf of books, studies and video masterclasses on voicing technique — and a curated route through them, in the order he recommends studying them.

Modern Voicings & Contrapuntal Studies
This is the chord side of the instrument: how voicings are built, how they move, and how separate voices move against each other. It is harmony you play, not harmony you analyze.
From one voicing to two moving voices
01
HARMONIC /the-sau-rus #10$15Voicings for every chord type, and the descending chromatic ii-V-I that shows how they connect — the vocabulary the rest of the route is built from.
02
8 Chordal Etudes for Jazz Guitar$27The same vocabulary written out as music: eight etudes that work voice-leading and the left hand at once, so the shapes are learned in motion rather than in isolation.
03
12 Voicing Studies$32Twelve harmonic etudes over a single 12-bar minor blues — one form, held long enough that the harmony has somewhere to go, with a track to play it against.
04
SHORT CHORDVERSATIONS #7$15The hinge of the route. A chord played as an unwinding line, where one shape starts behaving like two voices moving apart — on video, so you can see the hand do it.
05
8 Contrapuntal Etudes for Jazz Guitar$27Two genuinely independent voices now, over progressions you already know. This is where coordination, articulation and the balance between the lines get their workout.
06
POINT OF ENCOUNTER$15Ten contrapuntal phrases over a minor ii-V-I, written to sit inside ordinary comping rather than replace it — the point of all of it, back in a tune.
De politiek lijkt dezer dagen wel een ballonnenwinkel. Ik ben de tel even kwijtgeraakt van de ballonnetjes die er al zijn opgelaten met ideeën over waar er allemaal geld kan gezocht worden om de begroting op orde te krijgen. Vandaag waren het onder meer: een hogere waterfactuur, hogere registratierechten voor woningen boven 500.000 euro en een belastingverhoging op buitenverblijven.
Maar de politiek is ook een ballonnenwinkel waar het ten zeerste af te raden is om er iets te kopen, want de waren zijn van inferieure kwaliteit: alle ballonnen knappen haast even snel als ze worden opgelaten.
