In this guitar lesson I will show you some chord substitutions for minor 7th group chords. Great for jazz and funk and good fun!

Taught by Justin Sandercoe.

And it is all totally free, no bull. No sample lessons, no memberships, no free ebook. Just tons of great lessons :)

To get help with this lesson (and for further info and tabs), find the Lesson ID in the video title (like ST-667 or whatever) and then look it up on the Lesson Index page of justinguitar.com

  • Hey justin. Doesn't D minor 6 belong to the dorian scale/mode instead of minor/aeolian? Why is it called minor then?

  • @ jasperoosthoek - you are right, but in the "Joe Pass" approach, you just break things into 3 categories, and let your ears sort the rest. Quite often you can treat a VI as a II anyway (like 1st chord in Blue Bossa). Why is it Minor - cos it has a b3 of course! But you knew that right!

  • You should include a graphic to show which notes you're playing. Your fingers are so flat on the fretboard, I can't tell what you're actually fretting.

  • @ Hoopermazing - I would love to have diagrams up too - but it just takes far too long to make them all! Sorry. Will get some notes up on the web site though soon. J

  • OWW! D Minor 11 is extremely painful to play, especially since I've never thought of bending my fingers that way! X^D I'm a self-taught guitar player who found every chord and scale the long way, through trial and error..

  • I have a question concerning the minor11 chord, the way Justin presents it it consists of the root, minor third, eleventh(is it like the fourth, but octave higher?) and minor seventh, while on some other sites it says minor 11 chord consists also of the fifth. Why is it skipped here?

  • very good my friend! gracias!

  • try not to bury ur pinky finger under the guitar

  • @jasperoosthoek Easiest place to start is the Diatonic Major scale and its modes.

  • @jfunkfinger69Thanks man! My comment was a year old and I've been playing mostly blues and rock since I made it.

    But, ..., for the past 5 days I went started with jazz again, hopefully this time I can make it work :-D. Time to dig in!

  • @jasperoosthoek You can also use melodic minor over D minor 6...

  • I love it that you play jazz telecaster. so do I

  • @Adsem yea he is very good but marty schwartz is also good

  • Maybe already asked and answered but too many comments to search through here ;-)

    I thougt that Dm13 would add the b6 interval since we're in the minor scale of D yet you add the natural 6 interval. Why is that? And how would then you notate a Dm with a b6? Dmb6?

    thanks for the great lessons!!! Most of the teachers throw us a fish where you teach us how to fish (stupid metaphor I know hehe)
