Hey Andrew

Where can i find part 2 of this smooth jazz chord lesson?

[darthsader1]

this is awesome, thank you for these lessons you are very versed in theory, i cant imagine ever knowing that much

[Sivaks9]

Hi Andrew

When you're playing those chords at the beginning do you use your pinky on your picking hand? I trying to find a way to combine regular picking with finger style

[creativeguitarstudio]

@Sivaks9 ... I use the pinky finger of my plucking/strumming hand for playing chords, quite a lot. But, I only "rarely" use it when it comes to playing Hybrid style single-note lines. Hope this answer's your question somewhat. Take care.

Thanks for watching!

[Sivaks9]

@creativeguitarstudio yes it does. Thank you for getting backing to me so quickly.

[RHCPgroupie42]

This almost has a reggae feel to it. very good

[girraffesrox]

folks im new to smooth jazz, any artists to recommend?would like to broaden my musical boundaries, after conquering korean pop and metalcore.

[bassobeats]

knew this would be good, but it got even better when i heard "larry carlton and lee ritenour"

[IronPump89]

Question, the song Cruisin by Marc Antoine, is it in A-Mixolydian? I am trying to figure it out but I am not sure about it

Great videos, keep it up!

[Dandroidanimal]

Very nice chord selection; probably the best compilation of tasty jazz chords that I've found thus far on youtube.

It is a song called, "Not By Chance," off of my 2006 Smooth Jazz album. The album can be purchased off of my website (if you like it). The link to the PayPal shopping cart purchase page for that album is in the description box.

Andrew you have helped me over "musical plateaus" multiple times. Thank you for contributions to the guitar players around the world.

[socorropaquins]

You know I've never been in to jazz but this vid really got me interested and kicking around some 7th chords. Thats all you ask for in teaching, getting students interested and doing things they couldn't or didn't do before. Thanks Andrew.

[mraggrovator]

Another fantastic lesson the chord diagrams really help.

[guitarlover80]

Great playing Andrew!! I'm loving the chords.

[medjessy]

This pickup is for the GR-20 Roland Synth. It s called GK-3.

[NodTheBowler]

What is the black pickup like thing near the bridge on your guitar?

[itstristanyo]

I think it's a synth device or something...

[col33145]

Thanks Andrew a good set of cords to learn
