Get better on guitar with challenging jazzy chord changes exercise lesson

[62catfan]

Confused, I have a chart with 21 g chords and the G maj7 , looks nothing like that , what's up. I know you know more than me but I can not find that chord in that form on any chart. Thanks. Help I need.

[emmetwhitey]

6:50 chord is meant to be a D7b9 

[tfcbart]

Hey david! would it be all right if you put the chord letters, and the way they are in chord form for a quick reference? Sometimes, I have those days where I want to play some of this, but I don't have enough time. And if you do this, it could help me alot quicker! Rock on man!

[kingsalasi]

how do i get the ebook man

[meadish]

So in a sense, the Gmaj7 could also be seen a B minor chord, with G in the bass?

[GaryTheMan03]

@meadish yes, major and minor chords are the same things. They're all interchangeable

[stevensharon]

Great lesson, Ive got some spare time today to realy spend some time on this lesson, ive only been playing a couple of years, started late, ( I`m 55 ) but I am a big jazz and blues fan and I found this vid really helpful, just a few simple-ish chords that together make a great groove to work on, thnks again, steve , UK.

[golfdom1987]

Thanks for the inspiring words! Great vid!

[lubomirn]

its kind of a bitch to switch to made me our fan for life !

[abarbar06]

right on dave. best way to get better at guitar is to try playing stuff that is really hard to get right. keep trying and messing up and just keep trying and trying and a little while later you'll be at that level. I would suggest playing a song you like, not random chords that are difficult, but that's just me

[Natokowsky]

can you do a lesson in 3/4?

[Laviedusurrealisme]

Thank you for this. I have searched youtube over and over again and so far this is the only one that I have found to be helpful. Thank you for that breathe of fresh air.

[electrowhip]

I actually love this video. You've taught me to play guitar over the last few years man, thanks for all the help and guidance. This video basically showed me how amazing the lessons are, as in I'm soloing around these chords and adding embellishments etc from things you've taught me within seconds of seeing the video.

Thanks again

[rabinsays]

at least i tried. haha. 

[andrewm9999]

i thought u gave this guitar away??

[ponkadolz]

3 bad people dislike this video? D:

[StopTheMoti0n]

also I lol'd when you got to the Gmaj6..

[StopTheMoti0n]

I have a suggestion: Make a video tutorial about jazz COMPING! I'm fairly proficient in it now, but I REALLY could've used a video when i was learning.

[imperfection32]

im liking the big band soundin stuff. thats gonna get you laid

[nmillwater33]

Im getting into opeth so I'm a little interested in jazz guitar playing and this helped. Thanks

[55485143]

thanks David... is very easy... pretty cool!!! =]

rock on!!!

[bogeyman0357]

Thanks for the lesson David, these are great Chords, well except for the Gmaj6, but I've already added the rest to my arsenal.

[dontfunkaround]

great lesson, this one.

[RaabBlog]

I might not have looked hard enough for a video lesson on harmonic minor exercises but if you dont already have one, can you show some arpeggio's that are good to play with that scale? i would appreciate it.

[oswa0714006]

Hey David, you rock dude!

[thedeem0N]

I have trouble doing chord transitions between like Standard G chord & Standard E chord, but I can play Lenny by Stevie Ray Vaughan pretty well (if you've never heard the song Lenny by Stevie Ray Vaughan, then that's not going to make any sense to you, go look up Stevie Ray Vaughan - Lenny & consider the amount of REALLY unusual chords that Stevie Ray Vaughan uses in Lenny....

[ChrisEllisMusic]

HAHA!!! he said G string...

[BeatBay]

I really love this man as a person, but this sounds so aweful! the chord changing is so dirty, the tone is shitty and the rhythmen is so not in the pocket!! :D like i said i like you man but .. i dont wanna hate. so i shut up. maybe its because i study in berklee jazz.. it just watched the first minutes, because it sounds so terrible. but i think man 8-16 year old can really learn from it. so thanks!

[marcussilvamgs]

wow. nice jazzy song

[burnindownthehouse]

This is a very good lesson. Very nice chord progression. Reminds me a bit of the chord progression in the song called "This Boy" by The Beatles.

[ShadowCloud143]

piss and bitch, now thats how you get peoples attention when you teach them guitar. rock on teacher dude!

[sockenfrank]

Fine Progression.

[mpalin11]

it took me a while with the Db9 -- I was wondering, why do you call it Db9 if your root note is D? Then I realized it's a D with a flat 9, not a D flat with a nine :D

[InspiredProphecy]

That GM6 is a bitch. The challenge for me is in the switching of the ring finger and pinky. Getting that pinky placed above the ring is hard. But I shall get it with practice haha. Lol, thanks for the lesson David. You F....ing rule!!!

[Maestrp37388]

Bravo, an excellent lesson on elementery jazz chording!

[ryanc177]

Hey David! Thanks for all these great lessons that you've made, I've gone from not knowing anything to making my own songs and soloing a bit! (I'm coming along!)

Jazzy progressions are exactly what I need at this stage of my guitar journey. Thank you!

Can you show us what kind of scale to use over these chords?

Thanks so much! Rock, Blues, and Jazz on!!

[rockongoodpeople]

Hi - and thanks for your kind words - really appreciate that!

I am putting a jazzy solo lesson together now with killer practice soloing ideas of jazzy changes - will shoot that lesson this coming week - so it will be coming soon so stay tuned and keep on rockinG!

David T

[MrKaFunk]

HEYGOODPEOPLE how ya doin?

[kdrake777]

Killer lesson, as always! Love the jazz lessons! Keep those coming!!! And you are so right, once you learn a few jazz progressions, the other chords are amazingly easy.

[tirouge0]

Is there some artists playing jazz with acoustic or classical guitar? lol maybe it's a stupid question but would be nice if some1 response to me.

[jazzaces294]

Watching this video, I can't help but think how easy these changes are, but I remember a couple years ago when I was just starting to play jazz that they were all total bitches to play. This is a great lesson here, make sure to eventually do a lesson explaining the theory behind all these chord structures for the people who get these under their fingers but want to understand them more.

[bloc22]

You're the best! Showed some of these off to some people lolz

[BrianSuman]

I agree that you have to challenge yourself constantly to stay fresh and inspired! Great chords.

[Time2Die24]

I'm not real good yet but looking forward to practicing these switches. Should make me a much better player. Thank you for all your videos, they're always so hlepful.

[jmdb1994]

is that ebony, on the fretboard?

[rockongoodpeople]

Hi - the fretboard is rosewood on this guitar

rock on!

[Erickpowers14]

[ElGbayRGX]
