How a jazz guitar player would play plain major and minor chords 🎸
Переглядів 2,6 тис.Місяць тому
⚡️Sometimes the right chord to play isn't a 6th, 7th or 13th. Sometimes a song just calls for a plain major or minor chord. When playing jazz guitar it's easy to miss these out. You wouldn't want to use a barre chord or open chord, jazz guitar players tend to use open triads. In this lesson I cover what you need to know about playing plain major or minor chords in a jazz context. See below for ...

This video is fabulous for developing bass accompaniment, soloing, or just getting it under your fingers. Much appreciated!
Cheers Mick. Thanks for the comment, you are very welcome.
Are you using acoustic or electric strings? Beautiful tone.
I'm using electrics, D'addario EJ21s work well for me on this guitar and with this pickup.
Thanks for more amazing content! #Subscribed
Thanks for the sub!
Hey 🙂 I like relaxing vibe of the neo soul and energy and melody of gypsy jazz, but this more abstract style of jazz.. I like sound of maj,min 6,9 chords, they are much more interesting.. comment from a rock/blues player 😁 any album recommendations for listening?
I love the open sound of chords. Get a nice major sound w 3rd in bass on 6th string, 5th on on 3rd strng, root on 2nd strng. Very open. Got me guitar tuned in p4 so your nice fingerings are applicable top to bottom. Many thnks!
Yes, they sound nice when open. Neat idea re the guitar tuned in 4ths!
Excellent thanks. In my topsy turvey way I found this lesson - and it so happens to fit very nicely with the "Making the Changes Series" which I am systematically working through... provides an essential framework (and over the same song) to bring harmony and the progression together. Magic thanks.
Yes- working on that skill with this chord progression is a great way to work at it.
Wow,very pretty
It sure is!
Great series indeed!
Thank you 🙏
This is from a great album: Julie is her name. The whole album is full of incredibly creative and inspiring comping and soloing by Barney Kessel. I´ve studied lots of the song on that album: this one and Gone with the Wind are my favorites. Can´t help lovin´that man of mine is also really great. Barney always adds colour and has a dialogue with the melody. Very musical...Thanks for showing how he comps in this tune.
My other favourite off there is 'No moon at all' - his guitar part is to die for!
Suweeeet!
It sure is a sweet guitar part!
One of my favourite examples of jazz guitar comping right here! Link to the PDF in the description.
Beautiful! Thanks for reminding me it’s Wednesday!!
I need reminding sometimes Mike! 😂
I really enjoyed this minor swing lesson, it's probably the first time that this piece has been explained so well, it's very concise and it is not rushed (which often leaves one wondering what was played?) Thankyou Andy 🙏🏻
Thanks for the feedback - glad you found it helpful.
It is good that you spand some time to play along with the virtual student. Thank you!
You're very welcome :)
I think I've solved it. In my head, I'm hearing the first 4 chords as all 3-note chords and I'm play the C7 on the 8th fret so there's a mellow progression of melody notes Bb, C, D and E. Then back to the 1st fret for FM7 and the melody notes of C, D, E and Eb (Abm7). Just sounds sweeter to my ear. If I play the first two chords as 4-note chords as shown, my melody notes become D, E, D and Bb (C7 on the 2nd fret). Maybe I just have an odd ear but playing all the chords in the first two bars as 3-note chords just sounds sweeter to me. That's what was throwing me off. It sounded like somehow you were playing the G on the 8th fret on the Bb6 and the melody notes were D, E, G and Bb. All good though. This is fun.
Good work solving it Don!
Loved this… subscribed :)
Thanks for subbing
More than a slight challenge. You have set out the steps very clearly with good overlap chasing where we have come from. Overwhelming - er yes! But a good clear path as to where to go and why. As with the last lesson - each bit is simple enough but the whole is a decent mouthful to get my head around. Great thanks.
Agreed. I think I was right to space out each lesson by a month then.
Productive way to move beyond exercises - but within a defined framework for tired brains. The build up to this point - while no doubt simple for many - has me scrambling if I hold hard to the test of knowing what I'm doing. Straining to hear accurately "what comes next" is the test for me. These close resolves are great for testing that. Excellent thanks.
That's the key - hearing what comes next!
Another great explanation - and across all those chords. Playing off the third is a great generic skill to be picking up here as well. This all builds very neatly and logically. Yet more stuff I thought I knew but had not really, seriously taken apart - but the pieces on the PDF really help force me to do that (no bad thing). Many thanks.
Cheers for the comment. Glad you feel it's building neatly, that was the plan :)
Formidable, gran leccion. Muchas gracias maestro,
You're very welcome :)
Great stuff, Andy. After spending some dedicated time on all these MTC lessons, I finally understand, after 6 years, what playing over chord changes means. And what's really an great is that you can do it with the chords themselves or especially, arpeggios in so many different ways. It's really an eye opener for me. Really ties everything together for me. Fantastic stuff. Between these and the HA vids, I feel like I've got a really solid music foundation in place for the first time since picking up the guitar 6 years ago. Well done. Thanks.
Cheers for the feedback Don. There's quite a bit packed in this series, but the great thing is you can work on it with any standard!
@@jazzguitarwithandy Yes. Now when I pick a song, I'll get the melody down, then just do the chords and then arpeggiate the chords. And then start putting together a chord/melody format. Great stuff. Well done and thanks.
Excellent thanks. Obvious but "who knew" (if I thought I'd know, but often I don't think and find I'm "stuck" !!).
Cheers 🙏
Yes this a great next step
Cheers Matthew.
more of that!+++++
🙏
Great lesson, thanks Andy!
Cheers Mike 🎸
Here's part 6 of my series on outline chord changes. In this lesson I cover the idea of using a cell against each chord. This is good ear training, fretboard knowledge practice and you can use it navigate 'difficult' changes. Let me know if you have any questions.
My love of the Charlie Christian pickup came from watching Tim Lerch.
I think that's where I first heard it too. At one point I tried his set up too (tuned down and heavier strings).
👏👏👏👏👏 thanks!
You're welcome!
I like to sub the Abm7 for the D7b9 at the end of bar 4. Just an easier move for me from Am7 and also sounds a tiny bit more melancholy. Just a personal preference. Both sound good.
That's a nice move.
great analysis thank you
Glad you liked it!
I’m so painfully slow at this instrument but your videos are very helpful. You are a fine teacher!
Because it sounds like to me the top notes on the 1st 4 chords in bar 1 and 2 are D, E, G and Bb. But when I play it, I can't duplicate your sound.?????
That's the correct notes Don, have you got some accidental muting going on?
@@jazzguitarwithandy Maybe. I'll work on it.
This will sound strange. At 1:02 in the second bar, your fingering and the chord chart looks like you're playing a 3 note chord Bb6 with D in the top. BUT....my ear hears the G on the 8th fret in the top. I've tried to duplicate your fingering but when I play the Bb6....but it sounds very different than what you are playing. Is my ear playing tricks on me?
It's definitely the 3 note chord Don. Looks like I'm using my other finger, but it's just floating.
Very nice this is what I am looking for! Thanks what is your contact info?
I luv these HA's. So much to learn and absorb. Thanks.
Cheers Don
Thank you! <3
You're very welcome :)
Great song and my jazz quintet used to play this song with our female singer many years ago, one of her best sounding songs as well. Anyways, quite an Em walkdown you got going on there, that'll be nice to include in my new chart. Many thanks for the pdf and ideas, they'll be going to good use! 😊🎼🎸🎵🏆❤
It’s a great walk down. You’re very welcome ☺️
Dbm6 is the same as Bbm7b5, which leads on to Ab. Bbm7b5 over Eb7 is an Eb11th. Both it in beautifully.
It sure is beautiful
Very nice, Andy.
Thanks Don
Danke sehr cool ❤
Thanks!
What string model you use ? So warm
Thomastik bebops
That was really nice! Love your solo arrangements!
Thanks as ever for your comment 😎
I think Andy’s playing and teaching are right at the top of everything available. But don’t feel the tone if this pickup is impressive for jazz or country. .. just my ears.
I agree in hindsight. I ended up selling this guitar. After the honeymoon period I didn’t enjoy that pickup as much. Should have put a humbucker in the neck position.
Great lesson! Thank you very much Andy!
You’re very welcome 😊
Put a set of Lollar Special T's in a Purple Pete CV50 and WOW!! Then experimented with other pups....blah....then just dropped in a set of Nocasters today....Lollar territory for sure. Love 'em! Put the Lollars in a budget HB TE62DB that now sounds like a million bucks...as did the CV50 with them. Lollar has more output...nice depth/breadth too. Can't go wrong with either pup set.
Agreed, both fabulous

Really lovely!!
Thanks Mike
OMG!! Thank you so much for this one!
No problem 😊
My favorite version (the one I know) is by sam Cooke.
A great version
Julie’s version was featured in The Girl Can’t Help it. rock movie she is great
I'd forgotten that, maybe one of the reasons it's so popular.
