Major Type Jazz Chord Extensions (Jazz Guitar Lesson JA-021) How to play

[Hawkeye62158]

Why do you call the chords maj9, -11, etc.? I thought, there is only the major7-chord?

[tutatos]

thanx for all this lessons dude, and for being so polite for teaching us...

[shmaltz]

Amazing lesson!! Love!

[BrainlessDuck]

This video's pure awesomeness. Exactly what I've been looking for - a series of different kinda movable, jazzy chord shapes. Well explained but not all that useless craptalk. I just love u man. Thank u!

[Lira346]

Thank you brorher!

[ZeppelinFloydRoses]

For the 6th string root chords. Is it okay to fret the low E with your thumb? I find it a fuck load easier than using my first finger, plus It frees up my 4th finger.

[BlikeNave]

Taught me so much. Thank you forever.

[ch5ld]

Amazing Man you Inspire me ti follow my dream to play music for a living...thanks soo much for your time

[SuperNoobTroll]

what the hell language is this guy speaking?

[knivesandpeppers]

Brilliant. Next paycheck, I'm making a donation!

[QuantumPlenum]

Thanks a bunch for all your hard work Justin - It is appreciated!!!

Excellent work- Cheers Mate!

[galtesler]

Awesome video!!! Million thanks!!!

[JeezoozeChrysler]

Thank you so much Justin, I really like the fact that you care to teach 8-10 good sounding chords instead of 100 useless clashing ones ( I've got one of the "million chords book" and it's total bullshit non-musical stuff ). You are a top teacher.

[schniggitty1]

Hint: a major 6 chord equals a major 9 chord a 4th higher (no root). Ex. C major 6 = F major 9.

[pownown]

Just wanted to say thanks Justin.

You're fucking great.

Talents are born out of your lessons. I can feel it.

Cheers,

[MrVelizarius]

Thanx Justin your lessons are usefull. You are great teacher :)

[TheGigsixstringAge]

[existentaeinutila]

Thanks man,this helped me so much.When you read it in a book it's kind of mind consuming,but here it's just smooth learning.Thanks again!

[elvinjohn7]

These are very useful. Thanks for the lessons!!!

[cashlan38]

hey Justin, Thanks a lot for your teaching...is great...make my understanding of jazz theory a litlle bit easier...btw...what´s the tattoo on your left arm??? is it a "teonanacatl" (meat of gods?)...it´s nice...once again, thanks for your instruction....

[ericrob2112]

[LennyLopez01]

[palaciomaya1]

you are talking too much, I wanna see the fucking chords.

[dlqmfl]

Hi justin,

your videos are really helpful

I'm glad to find you....

Thank you so much and I hope more lesson from you.. :)

[thenamesfrancisco]

these jazz chord extension lessons are great! Can you do one for minor 7 flat 5s too?

[bluestudio67]

I'm Tele fanatic and have set my guitar up very similar to yours.... and it sounds very jazzy on the minihummer. These workhorse guitars can do it all.. :)

[bluestudio67]

Hi justin,

I've played guitar for 30 yrs (Chicago blues and old rock) and have never delved into jazz. I knew some chord shapes for jazz that I use in blues because they sounded "right", but your videos are really helping me. I've been coming to you site for a few days now..... AND I LOVE IT! An "Old Dog" can learn new tricks!! You make it easy mate. Thanks so very much!

[fresh1air]

Hey, Justin... I just want to say, that your lessons changed my life... THANK YOU! I wish there were more people like you in the world...

[GtrGeorge]

Hi, very good lesson, I feel. But I have a question: you often refer to numbers when desribing what your hands are doing. I know my basic theory, so I realize many times these numbers are NOT 1,3,5 etc or 1,flat 5 etc...so what are you refering to? If its intervals...from what to what? thank you for any reply.

[Testacabeza]

He is referring to the frets, not the scale notes.

[ptpiano600]

hes talking bout fret numbers

[stratocaster539]

Splendid!

[mraggrovator]

Good teacher and player.

[Ogdoado]

why in the Cmaj9 chord (4:42) there is a B note(little finger)??thanks:)

[Ramblingman247]

It's the 7th? Only the notes C - E - B - D are in the chord. C-Root, E-Maj3, B-7th, & D-9th. Extended chords (9s,11s,13s) in jazz always have to have the 7th in it. Otherwise its a suspension. On guitar you also have to omit the fifth a lot in jazz chords like in this one, because you don't have enough fingers to play every single note that makes up the chord. Plus i think jazz chords sound better without the 5th. Hopefully this helps..lol

[Muzikman127]

igonore that stupid-ass comment. What the hell. the 9 is the D. I guess it's actually a Cmaj7add9 but he's just calling it Cmajor 9.

sorry XD

[Ogdoado]

thanks!(even to Ramblingma247!)lol

[BlikeNave]

I'm pretty sure the notes in Cmaj9 are root, 3rd, maj 7th (B/little finger), and the 9th (D).

[platriani]

a major 9 contains the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th and 9th [second] notes of the C Major Scale....

The B is the 7th note! [known at the Major 7th] - jope this helps

[MedMan30]

Wow. Great video Justin. :D

[nap1056]

teles kick ass!

cheers justin, great lesson!

[capitangenial]

"Don't try to learn them all...well because you guys suck, otherwise you wouldn't be watching me...anyway!"

One of my favorites lessons so far!!!!!! Thank you!!!

[Testacabeza]

The CMaj6 souns very nice!

[kyunoryuu]

Love this lesson. Could you please do a video on Agua de Beber?

[RodneySTR]

has anyone else noticed that the last few videos he doesnt where his hat and he looks a little upset .. or not at ease as he did before. and the back ground is different. i hope his wife didnt throw him out or something.. he just seems troubled compared to the first videos.. still awsume job teaching.. 5*

[JustinSandercoe]

@ RodneySTR - thanks for the concern dude, but I'm 100% fine. Maybe even better than that. But I am busy as a one legged man in an arse kicking competition - so maybe just a little more tired than usual? New background is just the sofa in my studio.

[shinningeagle]

glad to hear that!

[osnek77]

thanks, so much information

[RNRDOLL]

Justin, you're the best teacher there is by far. I think I've learned more from your videos than any other method thus far out of 10 years of playing.

[RickjamesSH]

Are there any pages on what the moveable chord shapes are on your site? I could only find the 6th and 5th root moveable chords on your site.

[punkyjesushodge]

another top lesson cheers justin, some of those chords sound gorgeous

[joseplluis7]

good lesson, as usual. Justin, do you think the tele is better than the strat for jazz?

[nathanguitarguru]

i know i'm not justin, but the best guitars for jazz are usually hollow body Gibson's, like an ES-335, but it depends what pickups are in the guitar, as Justin has a humbucker in the neck so it is not a standard tele

[EscpdFrmPsykward]

I did have a class at college for jazz guitar for about two weeks (had to drop it) and everyone there had hollow body guitars (mostly Epiphones) or nylon stringed acoustics. I showed up with my Epiphone Les Paul Custom and felt very out of place, lol.

[D0bb024]

Maybe if you go back try and get your hands on a Telecaster, and turn up to your class and be like "YEAH!" whilst you laugh at their Epiphones and Classical guitars because they would be inferior to your Telecaster! XD

[EscpdFrmPsykward]

lol, Sorry, I've always been a Les Paul kinda guy... Although I do have a nice Telecaster T-shirt I could wear... :)

[D0bb024]

Haha fair enough. Les Paul guitars are very nice, I wish I had one. I was tied between the American Telecaster and a Gibson Les Paul Black Beauty, but unfortunetly the Black Beauty is a little too expensive!

[Beatbot]

I love your sound. Sounds somewhat like a Rhodes.

[Beatbot]

Thanks Justin!

[kjy9383]

thanks a lot again justin

[guillll]

Great. One of the clearest lessons on that subject.

[Azrael888]

Good lesson, would you recommend the Mickey Baker Jazz Chord book? I heard Robbern Ford learnt using that too.

[JustinSandercoe]

The Mickey Backer book is good, but I don't think a lot of things are explained well, and some of the chords are not practical, but there is some good stuff it in too... I liked it.

[RodneySTR]

yes u just looked a little stressed out and a new location in the back ground so i was just curious . glad to hear all is good .

[joequigleyjonesvids]

I was hoping you did some more stuff on jazz guitar. Cheers Justin!

[RichardChuckie]

woo.
