Jazz Guitar Lesson: 1-6-2-5 Comping Style

View chord charts @ http://www.freeguitarvideos.com/LJ3/1625-comping.html

1-6-2-5 Comping Style by Guy Fenocchi is a video lesson on playing jazz rhythm guitar. You will learn the chords for a 1-6-2-5 progression that can be used as an intro or turnaround for a jazz standard. We will also talk about using syncopated rhythms. Syncopation is an important part of the jazz comping style. Mixing syncopated with non-syncopated rhythms will give a sense of where the beat is.

this is so awesome. I can't wait til I understand what he's talking about.

[ChitarNone]

wrong.....ac-comp-animent.....­.but i still think the job is understood more through the notion of complimenting.

[astroboirap]

his name sounds like some italian mushroom pasta dish

[cpamiseso]

the way he talks, similar to how Petrucci talks in his tutorial video (the one with Ibanez). I wonder what's up with these two person. Is it the guitar, the jazz, or the Youtube...

@noahses C7b9 replaces the natural C79 (mixolydian) chord which is the normal V in F major. Sorry for the eronias phrasing regarding that in the last post.

[noahses]

@rtb2701 C7b9 is the V chord in F maj. as well as F harm. min. To create tension you can alter chords by borrowing from the minor key. The scale to play on the C7b9 is either F harm. min. starting on C (don't emphasize the f) or, what Jazz musicians call the 'altered scale', which is a mel. min. scale starting on the 7th degree, in this case Db melodic minor starting on C. enharmonically respelled the altered scale consists of a root, b9, #9 (a.k.a. b10), maj. 3, #11 ( a.k.a. b5) b13 and dom. 7.

Great explanations. Really enjoy your videos.

What kind of guitar is that? It's got a great tone.

[LoveBuzz3]

@unklemozart depends what guitar you are using ...but often using the front (warm) pick up and turning down the tone will almost get you there ... I saw it on a youtube tutorial

[DCooper720]

@unklemozart try leaving everything fairly even on the amp and just rolling the tone knob off on your guitar a bit

[unklemozart]

How can i get a good jazzy sound like that? How do i EQ my amp?

[rtb2701]

Hi man, great lesson. Bit confused why ya can use the C7b9. If that's on the 5th then it's in line with the mixolydian scale, which has a b7 hence the dominant chords lol but how come the 7b9 worked when the 5th interval doesn't have a b9??? Please help!
