Beginning to Jazz Up a Chord Progression

Beginning to Jazz Up a Chord Progression is a free video lesson by Peter Vogl that will teach you about using chord substitutions. We will start by learning a simple progression of D, G, Em, and A7. We will then learn how to play the progression with a substitution for each of those chords. Using chords subs allows you to avoid the monotony of long repetitive chord progression. These can be especially useful when you're playing along with a singer or playing an extended jam. To learn more about this, check out Peter's premium lesson Jazz Up This Chord Progression.

It is clearly stated that to be a true A7b9 chord you would need the pinky playing the flat 7 on the first string. It is simply functioning as an altered dominant chord. All altered dominant chords have tension and may take a little getting used to if you haven't been playing them. Altered dominant chords are a mainstay of jazz however, so if you plan on playing any jazz you need to get used to their sound.

Miromirt - you are right. The chord without the little finger on G could be called A addb9 but the one with the finger on the G is definately A9 because the G is the 7th. Often we can't fret all the notes of a chord but we still call it a 9th, 11th or 13th. Can you imagine trying to fret ALL the notes of a 13th - 1 3 5 b7 9 11 13 ! You get that on the piano as a chord but only on the guitar as an arpeggiol

I'm not sure about what you call "A7 with a flat 9" because there's no 7 in it, only 9. I think it would be better to call it "A with an added flat 9". That last chord sounds a little disharmonious by the way.

Very clear and easy to follow.

I'm a relatively new player (student). I love the mellow sounds of jazz and these progressions are sweet! I will definitely be visiting your sight.
