Jazz Guitar Extensions Voicings 5th string root

This is a continuation of a previous lesson on basic jazz guitar shell voicings. This video shows the root voicings on the fifth string and adds extensions on the 2nd and top strings. I go through minor 7th, dominant 7th, and major 7th voicings, as well as minor-major7, and diminished 7th at the end of the video. See my channel for more information about my website.

Could you please give a musical example of using minor 7 flat9 chord?

@vecernicek2 I suppose you could play an Dm7b9 and "resolve" it to an C#m7. The tab for the chords: x 5 3 5 4 x and x 4 2 4 5 x (strings 6 5 4 3 2 1)

Thanks for the lessons. I have been playing guitar all my life (classical) and now trying to learn some jazz. Challenging and stimulating it is. you make me realize I need to develop my knowledge. Villa-Lobos is one of my favorite guitar composers, the choros and preludes especially. I like the idea of playing jazz on a classical guitar. It has a warmth and depth that brings a certain flavour to jazz.
