Dominant Type Jazz Chord Extensions (Jazz Guitar Lesson JA-023) How to play

[drabikmi]

@jpdiablo67 I thought the same thing...I would have called it a G7sus4 as well but a forth, aka the C, is the same note as the eleventh so I believe you could call it either one...Justin would know better

[jpdiablo67]

Justin great videos and well done...I love all your stuff

When I played your G7 at the 5th in the D7 shape and then you said if you move the 3 up a half step you get a m11 but on my chord finder program it doesn't recognize the m11 but instead calls it a G7sus4...Pardon my ignorance but is that synonymous to Gm11?

[iunnodiapeys]

at 4:29 you say F is the lowest note for the G13, what do you mean by that? thanks

[GtrDudeL]

another great one! thanks justin!

[saedt]

You never fail to inspire! i started learning guitar 2 years ago from you and still going! thanks a lot :)

[derrymadness]

great videos, great help. thanks dude

[derrymadness]

this is really good J, playing guitar now 2years and have seen a few of your vids. great help, what a guy. thanks

[salnizzo1974]

Very nice lesson. Simple, practical and extremely useful.

[powersack]

What did he mean by "chord construction guide" at 7:07 ??

[kasoi1]

great lessons, thanks a lot.

[Semach4444]

Great videos. I like these three or four videos that are a bit more advanced.

I'm sure there are more beginners out there in youtube-land, but it's hard to find any videos for the intermediate/advanced players that are done well.

[gremboul]

Thanks Justin and you're right about learning standards. Would be nice to have a youtube lesson of a jazz standard...maybe Misty. Apparantly, Joe Pass uses the CAGED method to construct chords...perhaps a vid based on the Joe Pass version....

[Markzilla01]

Thanks for great instruction Justin! You know i've been playing guitar since I was ten yrs old off and on, and there's so much you forget over the years that a refresher is sometimes just the ticket. I use an Ibanez Roadster 11 through a Zoom GFX>8 floor pedal going back through my desk and amp and it sounds good now, once again nice one Justin!

[SunshineandBeer]

Great service!

[Renegadesays]

i love your lessons, ive learnd soo much from you

[ilovemyibanez]

that is one sick guitar! gos along with the chords

[phildemis]

Hey Jason, You're the Man, I learn stuff from you every day . Actually you're God sent. Thank you for making me a better guitar player.

[Survolajbass]

Justin,man :))=))

[brendan3389]

I think his name is Justin

[sebanob73]

justin your explanation is very usefull, thanks to much!

[emilyisamish]

I was wondering if you could make a video of Loving Arms by the Dixie Chicks?

It would mean a lot to me :)

[mohamedbes]

very goooood ,please the (PINK PANTHER lesson on guitar ) please

[wimpy77]

i went back to your site and looked at the basic jazz chords and was then confronted with how much i forgot about playing chords. that's what happens when you play strictly lead for a while.

[santacruezz]

lead is fun, but rhythm is a lot more important.

[ampdoctor]

I feel like I'm back in the Mickey Baker chord hell of my youth.  Nice lesson as always but I'd love to find somebody who can explain all these substitutions and such clearly and simply.

[JustinSandercoe]

@ ampdoctor - did you watch the first of this little series? - doubt it will ever get simpler than that. If you don't get that lesson I suspect that there a few little gaps in knowledge in easier stuff (not meaning to be rude, trying to help) so check out basic chord construction and how they relate in Keys! J

[martinaxman]

I feel your pain. Look at it like this, Rembrandt took awhile to get his brush strokes. I know, sometimes I feel like crying watching these things.He's throwing a TON of great info at you very quickly. My only word of wisdom is pick one tiny piece, pause, and work on it till it's right, then grab another one. Justin's a great guy for sharing his expertise with us, but like any work of art it takes time to build your skills and finger memory. More for me than most I guess. lol.

[SomethinWild]

You made a little mistake around 4:33 , where you ay "seven, seven", it's actually the 9th fret:) But anyway, very cool lesson, it demystifies these basic jazz chords for me. Thank you!

[RodneySTR]

this guy is giving free lessons and all u can say is pointing out a mistake he may have made>??? lmao . some ppl have alot of nerve.. good lesson 5*

[SomethinWild]

... and some on the other hand have none:) If you were watching carefully you will see, that I comment on almost each and every one of his videos thanking him for the job he does (just as I did in my comment here). But he is a guy who stands to the mistakes he makes, and my comment was no offense, just a remark to him, which he will, I'm sure, correct in no-time:)

[JustinSandercoe]

@ SomethinWild = ooops - appreciated - will have to add annotation... now how the hell do I do that? ;) J

[morrissteven]

The dominant chords are probably the most versitile! Pat Martino has a free essay on his website called "The Nature of Guitar" or somethin' like that. He talks a lot about how chords are related and focuses on the dominant and augmented shapes. The dominants are interesting because of their ability to transform into different chords. It's a bit complex for the beginner, but I think it's something to look at if you want a completely different perspective on the guitar (and music in general)!

[morrissteven]

One more thing-- a sub for the dominant 7 is the flat 5th chord above the dom that you play. For example that sub for a G7 would be Db7~ it's a really cool chromatic movement to the CM in the 2-5-1 or the 1-6-2-5 progressions. So when you talk about all these variations of a dominant 7, you can really mess around with them to get some cool sounds.

Know this is not relevant to this lesson

Please do some John Mayer Style Guitar Lesson

(I know you read comments when you post a new video :-) )

[boz9818]

A John Mayer Style Guitar Lesson could entail many different things, since he is a real guitar virtuoso.

Do you mean his finger-picking style, and how he keeps rhythm with his thumb slapping, or do you mean his soloing, electric guitar stuff?

If it's his soloing, you might as well ask Justin to do a Stevie Ray Vaughan style video lesson.

[silverfire771]

i agree with your last point. i have a friend who went to berklee and spoke with a teacher who taught john mayer and he said that he was a complete SRV rip off. you can easily tell.

[spidrmage]

complete SRV rip off? john mayer? how?

[silverfire771]

he tries to play exactly like him. and listen to him sing a blues song. you can tell he's purposely trying to make his voice sound like stevie's.

[RNRDOLL]

I wouldnt JM is copying him, but he does use alot of his guitars stylings. But im sure every now and then he probably puts that stevie inflection in his voice. Overall though, John mayer is pretty much his own thing...over than his blues playing.

[silverfire771]

i guess. but i would agree with the person who actually taught him

[ankit3456]

well i really wanted Justin to do some Classic John Mayer Songs...finger style mainly

[leezeay]

is self ttought really the best way? had a friend wot came round every so ofton. now he has gone and im on my own :(. been like it 2 years . cant see the light,,,,,,but think i feel it ?.

[ShadowLord3220]

Unfortunately its impossible to play like Justin i few weeks or even years, you must think about the seperate things like chords, if you start with playing a song it just cant sound good at the beginning. Dont give up, guitar is realy worth of your work :)

[strabbs1]

leezeay dont give up!!! i still struggle and sometimes seeing someone realy good is frustrating, sometimes inspiring. stick at it you can only inprove. remember its the journey not the destination if thay doesnt sound to deep

[leezeay]

im at the point of smashin mine up!.just wona pick it up and play like you :( ..... i just seem to play the same shit... my fun has ran out with the guitar . why?????

[daddysevenpointfiver]

i find when i get stuck to change my development. in other words if you are sick of the same chords, stop w/ chords and just run scales, all sorts of different ones. or if you're running scales all the time, try writing a chord sequence w/ lyrics. Or learn some alternate tunings and re-tune your guitar to play w/ a slide or something. Explore all the different facets of being a well-rounded guitarist (Justin has lessons about all of these things, too).

[Gwuba]

I can completely understand your frustration!

I don't play the guitar but sometimes I want to throw my instrument trough the window. But then if I don't practice for a day I start missing it and I'm motivated again. :)

[leezeay]

some times feels right >>>>> some times dont , more than often it do'nt . i no the more i play the beta i get .just gets a bit borin playin the same songs. soz just lookin for a lift . hope thats not to deep lol

[MercutioUK2006]

So much information - and mostly free. Justin really is a gentleman :)

[Themroc1]

Very interesting videos on Jazz Justin.

More of these please.

[RichardChuckie]

woo.
