Easy Jazzy Guitar Lesson with chord progression

[cortx2lh]

I saw other videos of your videos, and i say you're a excelent teacher.

[312chicagoadam]

The more I see this guy, and his cohort, Marty Schwartz, the more I like them!

Well Done, David! You've got a GREAT TEAM around you!!!

[comeonmakemyday]

your lesson is awesome, thanks. signed old guitarman.

[jollywood999]

What's the difference between a chord progression and a riff?

[nicolovi]

gracias!!! excelente clase amigo!!!!

[PeaceAndJustice357]

Dude Dude like Dude you are the fucking best man shit. Like Dude for real dude!!!

[brothermopsy]

I'm not sure...But I think this is the progression for Killing me softly by Roberta Flack (Covered by Lauren Hill)

[freeebeard]

i find this very good indeed for early beginners like me as he puts the name of the chord and where i should put my fingers for each fret , as looking them up can sometimes be a nightmare! thanks man this is good help me for me 5*!!

[AbovePerfect]

You are an excellent teacher. Thank you very much!

[elitommy747]

C sharp minor 7 flat 5....Yeah sure...

probably in 5 years I might be able to play that chord...

Anyway you are a Great teacher...

Tom

[carlossalazar7]

i couldn't help but notice that this is the chordal structure for one of my favorite songs of all time:

Europa by Carlos Santana

awesome.

[seanjo]

crap I identified the chord wrong, the first chord is actually a Dmaj7, but the fingering is correct and the same as his Dmaj7 from this video. my bad :)

[seanjo]

thank you so much nextlevelguitar!! this lesson helped me out a lot and i even made my own progression out of it by changing 1 chord, adding 1 chord, and changing the pattern.

needed chords:

Cmaj7 ( X57675 )

C#m7b5 ( X4545X )

Gmaj7 ( 3X443X )

Gmin7 ( 3X333X )

A7 ( 575655 )

The progression goes:

Cmaj7 -> C#m7b5 -> Gmaj7 -> Gmin7 -> Cmaj7 -> C#m7b5 -> Gmin7 -> A7

Let me know what you think!

[wkale90]

That's the same chord progression as the beginning of Autumn Leaves...

[wkale90]

This is the chord progression for "Autumn Leaves" by Johnny Mercer...lol

[xilo144]

CHUCK NORRIS?

[10472112LEE]

Thank you..

Peace

[mattiscool08]

Nice job actually explaining everything. Thanks.

[Dakamum]

Whats up goodpeople!! i like your lessons man..

[fingerboy18]

This proves: moving in 4ths usually sounds great for jazz. EADGCF#B incrementing in 4ths.

Great lesson Dave; you are a reputable teacher and guitar player. Take care my friend.

[Dannicthemanic]

Except for the tritone between c and F# if it were all in fourths, we would have played all 12 notes:)

[himherenowno]

i really appreciated this

[MrTIM2U]

Thanks for the straight forward lesson. A nice chord progression to play around with, just right for my level of playing, or learning. I can work with this and build on it. Peace

[Xein6r]

david is a great guitar teacher!

[telsonater]

Awesome. Best video instructor ever! Sweet progression too!

[rbwboz]

Great lesson. Thanks....Rob, the Netherlands.

[chainy10]

Replied again because i didn't see my post.

Look at the notes being used for a B minor chord (bar at the second fret and do a A minor shape) and all those notes....in the B minor..each and every one of them....he played them as 7th chords ex: F#7 ..that's why they sounds "pretty" together. Hope that helps.

[catzeyzes]

towards the end i almost started crying....the song had alot of ups and downs in it.........

[rach6st]

sounds great!! Ill have to learn this.

[1MProductions]

These lessons are fantastic. I love them, and I've learned quite alot from these guys.

[docfret]

Sounds like part of "Spain" by Chick Corea.. - DOCFRET

[sixstring1995]

i love this guy

[cosiogalko]

Sites like yours are a blessing to those whom really want to play guitar. Thanks

[NutCane]

Lazy hazy crazy days of summer :) good tips!

[Solaquist]

Beautyful progression. Thanks a lot!

[jamesjefferys]

good stuff! cheers!

[spaterman]

but WHY do they sound so pretty togeather, those chords, WHY???

[lukatme2]

Because the notes all come from the same scale. If you learn your scales, then you can learn chords that hold those notes in each scale and then you have sounds that work together. If you play the b minor scale, you can play a great leed that goes with this progresstion

[Ultimaxkeyblade]

next level guitar has gone a long way! good job!

[JEKJazzer]

Great video. But, I don't think it's good to teach people to hit all the strings when you only need to hit five strings (like you did with D maj. 7). I think it encourages bad technique. Nice work, though!

[SoulCheese77]

Yeah, Maj7 chords are pretty. I especialy like Amaj7, and Emaj7 is eh... :p Nice video. I'll record this on my loop and mess around =D

[secondchanceandy]

great video im using this for my jazz audition tomorrow

[El3ment380]

HEY WAIT A minute. On you site you say an eminor 7th is 022033. NOT X79787. What did I miss here???

[peaceattack89]

There are many variations to every chord. Just like some basic variations of e minor are 022000, X79987, XX2453, XX14121212, etc... BOTH those chords you mentioned are versions of Em7.

[SoulCheese77]

Your not missing anything bro lol. It's just a different position.

X79987 = Em

X79787 = Em7

022000 = Em

02203X = Em7

Note that the note that was changed in the first position (9 to 7th fret) is the same as adding the 3rd. They are both the 7th note in the E minor scale, that is why it makes it a 7th chord.

To understand it a little more, play the 7th Fret on the 3rd string, and then the 3rd fret on the 2nd string. Same note isn't it? :) Hope you get it.

[ciano15]

there are several ways to make 1 chord.. for example you can play all the basic chords as bar chords waaay up the neck but get the same sound

[redwings02]

022033 is playing it open, X79787 is the bar chord form of it. Pretty much any open string chord has a relative bar chord. For example 003330 (or X03330) and 577655 are both A major.

[FlamingCuntLips]

their both em7 once open the others barre

[sachito]

chords on guitar can have many different shapes can be played in different ways and will keep their chord name =)

[Dak0taPaters0n]

a cord can be play different ways in different positions of the fretboard its the same cord just i different octave

[anuwatBKK]

022033 is EBEGDG

X79787 is XEBDGB

same notes just slightly different order

[speak000]

great lesson!! there are so many solos that can be played on that progression

[queenofallmonkeys]

you saved my world! thanks!

[SurvivingKevorkian]

So on and so forth ya'll!

[sk84life6294]

im havin trouble muting or stoppin some strins on the Gmaj7 plz help me

[zu3tu7]

Aint that the harmony of " this guy is in love with you " by herb alpert ????

anyway great lesson...

[fgoat]

Also the chords to the main verse section to Chick Corea's "Spain".

[powerboeuf]

Good video thanks

[joumy06]

Why when i look for "A7" "Dmaj7" in a dicTionary, i don't find the same chord as yours? except for "Bm".. PLZ ANSWER thx though for all lessons

[rockongoodpeople]

Perhaps you are lookingat a different fingering for a certain chord. A major 7th has a 1,3,5,7 and a 7th chord which is a dominant chord has a 1,3,5,b7 in it.

rock on!

DT

[joumy06]

i see.. thanks a lot,i'll work on my chords and i got a brand new guitare i'm so happy.

waiting for the dvd!

all "good people" thank you

[xXxMATADORxXxBR]

Hi could you please do a reggae lesson some time? You only have 1 :( Would like to know some more about that!

rock on

[Hoidsa]

great video, thanks

[fixxxer928]

Thanks A LOT. This chord progression is amazing, i would have never been able to think of playing these weird chords. I really should find a teacher

[nomissimo]

nice chords arrangement :) like it alot

[arakis33]

Only Thank you!!! realy great!!!

[adimirea]

Great video it helped me practice barre chords, and just play some sweet chords that i didn't know before, other than the 4 "classic" barre shapes you see everywhere. This progression sounds really sweet, no matter what strum you use. Great lesson, not for the absolute beginner though ;)

[mythrilrik]

mellow man. Thanks alot :)

[justdofum]

extremely helpful thanks man!!

[guitarded222]

awesome, i luv the cool jazzy feel

5 star

[cingach]

What kind of effects do you have on right now that gives it that jazzy sound? Just some kind of blues over drive?

[rockongoodpeople]

Only effect I have on is a splash of reverb - playing through the clean amp channel - no overdrive at all. rock on!

DT

[kevyp12]

hey, i play guitar for about 7 months now. I love it but lately it has been getting boring. Any suggestions. thanks.

[jmsbk12345]

I love jazz chords. Did you know that the same chords can have different names? For instance did you know that the C#m7b5 is the same as an A9th without the root A note or is also known as a half diminished chord - Fabulous!

[Dyson350]

I don't understand the C#m7b5 chord. In my chord books it is played different than what he is playing here. I looked it up online and found almost everyplace I go they show it being played different from Dave and my book, so what gives?

[cuahtemoc83]

hey, there is not just one way to play a chord. As long as you got the same notes, although in different order, you are playing the same chord, voicing or inversion of that chord. What you'll have to look for in a chord is mainly the root, 3rd and 5th (and 7th)...

So, you could play your C#m7b5 (which by the way, is the 7th grade of D Major) as:

x4545x

but you could also play it: 9x998x

They're the same notes, in a different order

Peace out

[phobik2000]

what are all those numbers with the x?

[guitaress1]

the numbers are the fret numbers of the chord voicing on the strings from low to high left to right. x means don't hit that string, or mute it.

[rocco777]

chord fingerings, the x mean u don't play that string and the numbers are the numbers of the fret

[flamer2204]

this is just the chord progression to the "Autumn Leaves" standard

[nickwentinsane]

true, but for someone who hasn't had much if any jazz experience like most people wanting a youtube guitar lesson, its a pretty good place to start...

[c4r30n]

Extremely helpful video...Thanks a lot!

[mikeyFear0n]

dave taught me almost everything i know on the guitar!

(not a lot lol) but still! dave rocks!!

[horch40]

A super convenient way to progress my guitar skills. Keep the lessons going.

[jrpalomo2000]

your a good teacher. one of the best ive ever had. do you also teach shreading guitar lessons

[lilfisticuffs]

i love how clean your playing sounds, i still got alot to work on.

[fernandohombre]

thats really great.you know aboUt that !!!..

[theriffer]

Dude.....you got a talent for teaching besides the obvious guitar talent you have!

[sassaru]

[IllusionistV]

WHOO! Dave's back!! YES! Great job!

[Juxtify]

Dave i love your lesson, it really gives me a lot of extra's

[PrinceAvison]

Hey fellas.. defently preffered the more normal person background.. the boring background doesn't have the same effect.

[shpazshpaz]

Great seeing you again man

great lesson!!

[ShardedFire]

hey can you give more tips on how to do stuff to your guitar like that granite thing to stop the string from moving....you know...basic guitar maintenance thats easy to do

[TechnoLife120]

that mex strat sounds really good, i cant find any new mex strat that sound that sweet in the store anymore.

[rockongoodpeople]

thanks - most appreciated. A lot is in the pickups - the newer mexican strats have weaker pickups in my opinion - not as sweet sounding. rock on!

DT

[Usercool]

I wonder what amp you're playing through Dave

[rockongoodpeople]

The amp I am using in this lesson is a small LINE 6 spider one practice amp

rock on!

DT

[LRMMcDonnell]

line 6 ftw

[Usercool]

I also find this annoying.

If you put a fender custom shop pickup set in it, it'll sound as great as ever.

[luisfernandoheras]

Once again! nice Lesson!

[sanzyuryu]

That is exactly the same progression as the theme song from "Arthur" with Dudley Moore...

Killer...

[johnnyh22]

Great Lesson, Thx. I think I hear a Rocky theme in there, anyone?

[accountbaby]

Thank you Dav!

[headachebr]

I was wondering if you had any lessons on harmonizing a scale.

And also, if I play that chord progression, how would I be able to play a solo on top of it? Which scale to use and so on..?

Thank you!

[500passwords]

its good to see dave , but some of you guys gotta dave fetish, i like a pretty girl thrown in there now and then. all the people on daves videos are cool in my book. rock on good people.

[afoste14]

Thanks David, Good to see you mate.

[zzcn]

[jernov]

Good to see you back David, nice lesson =)

[lkjhgfdsa68]

that was another excellent lesson thx

[RG350D]

good tone on that guitar...

[peterhopqk]

he David. Great to see you back.

[Pickininvt]

Hi David!

I was watching all thru this video, and I was hearing in my head the solo licks that can easily be played in between these chords, but I was hoping that by the end of the video, you would have done a demonstration with a once-thru playing single chords, then doing an improvised lead between the chord you just played to the next chord?

How about doing a short Part II to this video demonstrating that?

BTW...I love your vids, and your laid back style!

[jespero93]

its good though. david seems to be extremely relaxed now. i dont know about you guys but i like it.

[abhiagg90]

oh thank god its you david!!.... please you do all the videos!.. dont add in anyone else... thanks!!

[bmanmatterdaddy]

id say it was the rhythm for "Europa" by santana

[MattieCooper]

Thank you David!

[BadPennyDonnie]

That chord progression sound a lot like Gary Moore's "Still Got The Blues".I think you just taught us a new song Dave.Thank you.

[lebassplayer]

David, nice video with a very sweet sounding chord progression. I shall certainly be playing and developing it later. Good to see you back it has been a little while.

[SaileAway]

rock on!

[oopsitsbroken]

dude this is a great lesson, i love how you spell out the progression chord for chord, and especially mentioning the arpeggiated solo patterns, i like to do a little bit of sweep picking in my solo's, and the sweep arpeggios sound really good, keep the lessons coming, there really helpful

[Guitarplayer9882]

is that a mexican or an american strat?

[rockongoodpeople]

the guitar I used in this lesson is a late

90s mexican made fender stratocaster

rock on!

DT

[runescapernumber1]

[bradyowns]
