FREE download of the all the shell voicing shapes: bit.ly/3msntbe

I’ve been playing for over 40 years and jazz for at least 25 and this is the best explanation on chord construction I’ve e ever seen. Bravo!

That means a lot, thanks so much!

Together with your "shell voicing"- lesson this video is a door opener for me!! By far the best jazz chord lesson, I 've ever seen. And I watched a lot! But they start somewhere and end somewhere and in between is a lot of confusion and many superfluous informations I don"t need. Your lessons have the straight structure I need for a successful learning. Thank you so much! 😘

This is REAL teaching. So rare. Thank you

😮 you are an unbelievable teacher. A friend-teacher!

I've been playing guitar for over 18 years but I've always found these more complex jazz chords somewhat confusing and have never found any way to learn them that truly clicked. This is the first time it's ever made perfect sense to me. Learning those basic shell shapes for much more familiar chords (Maj7, min7, 7) and simply adding on the extensions to create these chords is SO much better than trying to memorize every chord as its own shape. It's so logical and practical and it's finally clicking. So glad I found this channel. Thank you!!!

The sequencing of these lessons is brilliant. I had been messing with shell voicings previously, but you have really helped me understand how to apply them. This next step--extensions--always felt so intimidating but, as I am coming to expect, you have made it clear and the fear is gone. That approach with the 6th root for 9's and the 5th root for the rest makes so much sense and also gives me a better view of the scale shape too. Phenomenal stuff. Thank you!

You're comment means a lot! Clarifying information about guitar playing that was once intimidating is one of my ultimate goals with these lessons. Thank you for taking the time to comment! :) -Jared

wow, this is good shit. i’m trying to expand my repertoire of musical genres on the guitar and you are making jazz a million times more accessible. you’re an excellent teacher, keep up the great work!

You deserve tons more subscribers! the last few videos of yours on jazz guitar that I've watched have made more sense than any other video I've seen on this stuff. you teach it all so clearly and concisely, it just clicks!

He's the best guitar teacher on YT. Why doesn't he have half a million subscribers? I'm mystified. His situation reminds me of that of a woman who has a YT channel on a completely different topic. She's stuck around 25,000 subscribers, too, and people who cover the same topic but aren't remotely as good as she have 100,000 subscribers, or more. So much for algorithms. Somebody who really understands them has said that algorithms aren't nearly as "smart" as non experts think.

this is so relaxing like ASMR ;-) great lessons!!

Great! It opened my eyes to learn the extension chord from the shell voice. Now I need to exercise it lol, thx!

You're videos are great and you are such a great teacher. Really easy to understand and follow. I learnt all about shell voicings from you. Its totally changed the way i view playing jazz now. I no longer fear lead sheets. And with this video showing how simple it is to add the extensions, i feel confident i will be able to start playing even more complicated jazz pieces. Thank you for your great work and great channel. Its a crime you dont have more subscribers.

This lesson is amazing. Your explanations really clear up this confusing concept.

These classes are magnificent! Thank you so much for posting this play list! Jazz is a tall order for most and intimidation probably causes most not to go there. I think these videos are a bridge to get more playing jazz. They have been highly enabling for me.

I'm glad I got comfortable with all the shell voicings first before attempting extensions, the formula for finding extensions is so nice lol. edit: the one downside i've found is if you do something like F13sus to F7#9 (like in Laurie) you have to jump up pretty quickly, but I guess if something like that happens you can just play the 13 on the e string

Very good video on expanding the shell voicings. Did not think that I would find the background theory almost exciting. Thanks Jared.

First many thx for your valuable insights. Went through some of the scales you did in your 23 scales video. Love the sound of Phrygian with dominant pentatonic. Then started adding some diminished arpeggios. Any chance you would do a video on some 2-5-1 progressions /licks/lines, using these scales together? I am a big Yusuf Lateef fan! Guess is the more arabic tonality I like.

I love this video. Thank you so much for the great content and clear lesson. Do you use this system for chords with the root in the melody? If so, do you use the close-voiced shell like the 9th? But replace the 9 with the root?🙂

Love from ind ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thanks and much love back at you!

Would it be possible to add open strings, eg the open e string to get some different voicings? Would you just use your ear to see if it works or not or is there some theoretical guidelines I don't know about? Fantastic lesson!

Sweet way of building up a complete guitar chord vocabulary, I'm loving it. One comment: you frequently use the term "diminished" when you mean "half diminshed" (chord with a circle with a line through it => b3b5b7), though a couple of times you do use the more accurate term "half diminished" too. In my training, I've been told "diminished" means "whole diminished" meaning b3b5bb7, which you address enharmonically as a min6b5. Usually that will be notated in lead sheets as a "whole diminshed" (chord with a circle without a line through it), however. Simply put, I don't think you covered what folks should play when they see a "whole diminished" chord symbol (except enharmonically via Min6b5, which isn't used much if ever on lead sheets). Pardon me if I've got any of this wrong.

Hi Kevin, Thanks for the comment. Hmmm, if I ever say "diminished" instead of "half-diminished" then it's definiltey mis-speaking. I checked this video and I didn't find anywhere where I made that mistake, though I remember a spot where I did accidentally do that I think in the shell voicings video. Sorry for any confusion! Also, in this video I definiltey go over what to play for the fully diminished 7 chord. Here's the link to that exact spot: kzread.info/dash/bejne/hmqjlsmzh7qvgbQ.html.

Great lesson! Lots of information. I came across a chord the other day that I think is tense and beautiful but I can't figure out how to name it or analyze it. Starting on the A string the notes are D, A, C, E, and Bb. So I fret it as 5,7,5,5,6. Hopefully this isn't super confusing. Anyway, what would you call it?

Hi, i’ve been playing guitar for just about a year now and your videos have taught me so much and made music theory so interesting thank you! I have a question about extensions, I was wondering that if I have an major 7 chord and add a #11 would that be called a major 7 (#11) or a major 7 add #11 or major #11 chord?

It's a video taken from one of my courses, so ignore the intro part about the course and just go to the lesson part and it will fully clear this up for you. Here's the link: kzread.info/dash/bejne/oneBraaxqtvbldo.html. (ps. for your specific question it would be Major 7 (#11), your first guess, , but the video explains why)

Awesome stuff man. Actually i think this is too good to be free. I bet this guy is secretly stealing our souls while we watch it /jk

This is how I know I’ve just been winging it this whole time and not paying attention to intervals and my ear. All this time I’ve been killing myself trying to figure the half diminished from the top string position and all it took was moving the 11 on the minor 11 shape up half a step??? 😂🤦🏽‍♂️

Just posting this comment as a note. The extension you add is determined by playing off the major scale from the root. So if you would want to play g7 sharp 9 then you would count 9 from the root using the major scale and then go one fret over to make it sharp.

Why is there a 9 in a dominant 7 sus4 chord when the 3 doesn't exist?

How to solo with extended chord,? 9 11 13?

@soundguitar

3 жыл бұрын

that's a big question and a great one! I'll definiltey cover it in the future on this channel. For a quick answer one approach is to use chord tone arpeggio shapes, like a major 7 arpeggio for the note selection, but play that shape off of the 3rd chord tone of a minor chord. For example, use the chord tone notes of Cmaj7 over the chord Am7. Then you are improvising using the 9 in that group of notes. Similar "super imposed" shapes can be found to work with other extensions. If that doesn't make sense no worries and please stay tuned. Again, this is just one way to use them. Thanks for asking! -Jared
