I started guitar in ‘65. Played pop/rock (garage/party) band with some passion ‘70-‘90. Took a few decades off. Have started playing again in the last few years in a oldies band. I was doing pretty well teaching more than learning from my band mates. At 70 I thought I would like to move into jazz/blues. I have been following you and others. It’s been following you for awhile. I have purchased a package.
Sorry for the premature ending of previous msg. I’m having a hard time finding a jumpstart in to jazz. I clearly understand II V 1 or any other pattern but not familiar with jazz phrasing. I’m picking up a bit but… I like you style (and small hands😀 like mine) and large library of lessons. It’s large but I can’t find a “beginning” for me. I do need to have starting point (lesson) and progression of development. I can imagine there are others in my situation. I have purchased a package from you but there are places that assume I know more and places that are more basic than I need. Is I possible to put your vast library of lessons in order? Hit and miss utube selections are frustrating. Bill
Hi William, there is no order on TH-cam, that's what courses are for. I'm working on one. I have a jazz phrasing lesson here on youtube. Just type " jazz phrasing guitarversum" into the youtube search box. Other than that, I give Skype lessons. If you're interested just contact me to the email given in my channel info, or go to guitarversum.com and look for contact.
You have a real sense of teaching, Sandra. I appreciate your lesson very much. Coming from blues guitar I felt pretty lost how to get started with Jazz guitar. I looked around everywhere but it didn’t « click » for me. But with your lesson you give me a helpful framework for a very good start: the four comping rhythms, how to combine them, a few beautiful Jazz guitar chords and how to play over the A section of Autumn Leaves. And your explanations are so useful. I arrived to start. Thank you so much.
Thank you Sandra for having the heart of a teacher. Your education and talent, combined with your patience, make you the best jazz guitar instructor. Thank you for all the time and effort that you invest in the preparation of so many excellent tutorials.
There are a lot of great guitar player lot of great teachers but not all are true teachers with the gift of teaching . You are a true gifted teacher and I thank you for your tutorials....Roland
Hi Sandra, thank you for this awesome channel! I’ve been playing for 3 years now and just found your channel. I’m going to study your channel for the next 3 years!!!
Just seeing this for the first time, Sandra! Excellent job explaining this topic. Thank you for playing the examples and not just explaining it. It helped me significantly.
I've played over 50 years and I'm always circling back to basics to keep fresh. This was an excellent lesson and study on comping a jazz standard. I just discovered you and I hope to learn more form you your excellent videos.
A great foundation lesson taught with patience and clarity by a lovely and charming teacher. I enjoy your videos; there's always something to learn. Cheers from Canada.

This lesson is incredible ! I’ve been playing guitar for a few years and LOVE jazz, just didn’t know where to start. Here we are, and I’m feeling good ❤️🙏🏽
Eine Lehrperson mit Kompetenz der man mit Freude gerne folgt. Als Jazz Novize hat dieses Video mich angenehmerweise bestätigt mein Ziel weiter zu verfolgen. Hab viel gelernt. Chapeau und viele Grüße aus der schönen Hauptstadt Berlin.
Like many of the other guitar players i am searching for a solid entry to the jazz world and a jazz approach and i can warmly Recommmend Mrs Sherman, she is amazing....love her🥰
Hello I have worked my guitar for more than 40 years. Every days, without significant results on my opinion. Even if I think I play well, I discover your lesson. You simply open my eyes on new horizons. You are the only one to explain simply what I try to catch for years and it's easy... you cannot believe how I can thank you you for your help. Now, I have just to work with your advises. Sorry for my bad English, I am French Really thank you for this new ways Francois
This is *so* interesting! The insight regarding keeping beats 2 & 4 on the low-down so the high hats right through the mix is something I would not have thought about. So thank you! What a great lesson. Many great ideas to incorporate: jazz comping is much different than playing rhythm guitar in a classic rock setting. I'm grateful you explained all of the important things we need to keep in mind. And I love the syncopation. That really makes what you played more interesting than just playing the same rhythm throughout. Thank you!
Wow, what a good lesson. So much of what is out there falls into the "You'll Never Be Able To Play Jazz, So Why Bother?" category; but your videos always give the viewer something they can use right away, in an actual tune, and sound good doing it. One of your strengths is your ability to take things that are complicated, and present them in a clear and understandable way . . .the mark of a good teacher.
Davvero brava,magari in Italia ci fossero maestri cosi semplici ,concisi e precisi....complimenti. Io non conosco la musica ma grazie a te mi sto appassionando al jazz e lo sto improvvisando divertrndomi.....grazie.
Mine is a Howard Roberts by Gibson. Its smaller than a Heritage 575 or Gibson 175. I have a video up her, wher I showcase my equipment and amp setings. Check it out. Type "Jazz Guitar Gear Recommendations and amp settings Guitarversum" in the TH-cam search box.
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman thank you I will look your video up,,,the 575 is still the best guitar I have,,, have not tried Gibson, too rich for my blood and skill level,,,ciao,,,ps,,I am not sure if the price difference is worth it,,,nor would I have the skill to be a proper judge,,,have been buying guitars since 1962 and I. Cannot justify the Gibson prices,,and even Heritage is now becoming out of reach for most people who love the instrument, but, are not professionals..
Very nice lesson! I just wanted to point out something: what you (and other musicians also) called Latin, it's actually Bossa Nova, and they do also have tons of variations going on! I do recommend a lot Rosa Passos, her playing is amazing, so rich in terms of rhythm. Greetings!
Really helpful lesson. I've been struggling to get going with this for ages. You're a great teacher. I've pledged you on Patreon and look forward to getting better at Jazz guitar. Thanks
Thank you for this very well explained lesson. Just what I needed. I've put together a bunch of 1625 progressions I figured out on a keyboard and, thanks to this lesson, I'm going to try and make them happen on my acoustic guitar. Oddly, I'm finding the right hand technique more difficult than the fretting atm. Anyway, simple question: Can anyone reading this recommend an affordable (sub £500) electric guitar for jazz/R&B comping?
Nice work teaching, you rock. Love the guitar, Howard Roberts Is from my hometown. Well, I live here now, from neighbor town. His sons are amazing too.
Yes, Jay Roberts is a well known guitarist/ instructor and he won the Jimmy Hendrix competition here in Seattle. Doug, his brother was the drummer for their metal band in the 80's called Koda Kahn. I think that is spelling. I also wanted to thank you for your amazing videos, I just had my first jazz lesson that I am taking as a part of my associates in music and you have opened the brain to the structure and ideas of jazz music.
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman it is a great compliment: “Excellent material, thank you for sharing it!! This type of material, and so well explained is hardly found on TH-cam”
The knowledge is revealed. Showing how the comping guitar meshs with the drummer is like passing on wisdom. This makes practicing chord progressions much more interesting. How would the first rhythm "click" sound be played on an acoustic instrument?
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman I just love playing guitar, paul desmond solo is coming along nicely, made a start on your lovely version of autumn leaves, keep going jazz buddy.
This makes me progressing a lot. As a beginner I have to pause often inbetween to catch up with the many many things :-) ...but hopefully I'll come to the point of playing along with You. Thank YOU Sandra! Servus nach Österreich! Hätte ich deutsch schreiben können oder?
Hi Karin, Das ist normal. Wenn du das alles gleich vom Fleck weg spielen könntest, wärst ein wahres Genie 😊. Einfach dran bleiben. Jeden Tag (oder so oft es geht) ein bisschen üben führt dich zum Erfolg.
Vom Genie bin ich weit mindestens so weit entfernt wie die Erde vom Mond...so "Fly me to the moon and let me play among the stars..." @@GuitarversumSandraSherman
I need to learn hybrid picking! I guess it’s just a matter of practice. I started with bossa nova and nylon strings so first mission will be to buy a pick.
YES! Great. But my Q: What do you use for background sounds? You start it with footpedal. Can share the secret, of where can I find your used gear? Or what do you recommend for (intermediate) Jazzbeginners..
I created Backing Tracks beforehand, I pedal invokved firing recording. But when I practice alone I use the Digitech Trii+. It's a looper plus drums and bass comping. Can highly recommend.
Sandra, grr-eeetings (salutes) from Prescott Arizona! I'd like to express my appreciation for your efforts. I've always loved jazz but always thought it was way above my capabilities. Thanks to you and your excellent lessons I have been able to make progress in learning this great music form. THANKS
Oh, that makes me really happy! ❤️ I love when people find their way into jazz and I can help a little. Btw, my family lives in Phoenix. I don't know why they wanted to move in the middle of the desert, though 😁.
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman Wow that's a long way from Vienna! Your family must've really wanted a change to go from Vienna to Phoenix! YUK. I grew up in Phoenix and as i got older every summer I hated it more... we're talking 118 degrees Sandra! So in 2008 my wife & I moved 75 miles north to Prescott, which is a little mountain town that is 3900 ft. higher in elevation and so much nicer climate! I love it here. Take care.
Sandra thank you so much I love all your videos you’re such a good teacher two quick questions if I may. For your right-hand middle and ring finger are they only playing the strings where we are holding down a note or are we including the open strings as well? I guess it depends on whether the open string is a chord tone? Also, does this hybrid picking style work with chord inversions where the root is not on one of the bass strings? Thank you so much
Hi Sandra.....I love all of your vids, and I have a question......have you ever done one on the song Nature Boy by Eden Abez ? I know that it’s a fairly quick, simple song, but am having trouble figuring out the best fingering for some of the chords....thanks for all you do. I looked on your page but didn’t see it.
I haven't done a toroidal on that I've yet, but I have a performance video of it on YT. Just search for Nature Boy Sandra Sherman and Puddles Pity Party.
Ok , this helps with my impossible. I hear the rhythms pridectably to the beat, but applying them to my guitar playing was difficult. little cooperation in movement. Is this normal with some of us? I need to loop it it very slow and practice, but I think this lesson is very helpful in application. I'm going very slow at it though.
It's really helpful, maybe I could adapt its rhythm pattern to my jazz guitar chord progression book? Few month ago I bought it and I am just practicing sometimes those I type chords..Maj7 stuffs. And I think in rhythm playing left hand's control is important..String pressure. By the way I love your guitar sound. So warm and round!
You can applay these rhythms to any jazz standard, that has a swing feeling (as most songs have, except for Latin songs). I have a video on my guitar sound. it's calles "Jazz guitar gear recommendations and amp settings". Check it out! A lot of people find it very helpful.
Das freie mich sehr. Ich hab mir das Gleiche gedacht. Immer Solo, Chords, aber niemand zeigt Rhythmik. Wobei die Jazzrhythmik auch wirklich sehr schwer vermittelbar ist. Daher rate ich dir unbedingt viel hören! Und zwar nicht nur Gitarre. Bewusstes Hören funktioniert so: Hör mal in einem Song nur auf das Klavier. Versuche die Rhythmik nachzusingen oder zu klopfen. Im nächsten Durchgang konzentruere dich auf den Bass. Dann Drums etc. Dieser Tip von einem Kollegen anno dazumal hat mich so unglaubluch weitergebracht. Ich habe begonnen das Rhythmusfundament des Jazz zu begreifen und habe es dann immitiert und danach analysiert und notiert. Die letzten zwei Punkte musst du als Nicht Lehrer nicht unbedingt machen. Viel Erfolg!
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman Ja, ein Thema, das viel zu oft übergangen wird, zumal man ja 90% der Zeit eines Stückes nur mit Comping beschäftigt ist. Auf jeden Fall vielen Dank für die Tipps ;)

Danke! ❤️
Thanks for this lesson Sandra! I'm getting back into playing jazz standards in The Real Book. These comping patterns will be fun to practice!
Just make them as random as possible. The only pattern you should play for longer than one bar is the basic one.

@@GuitarversumSandraSherman awkward at first but I will get it. Thank you!!
Thanks Sandra
Greeting from USA.. What a great source of learning I’m glad I found your Chanel .
Thanks, Sumo!
YES! Great. But my Q: What do you use for background sounds? You start it with footpedal. Can share the secret, of where can I find your used gear? Or what do you recommend for (intermediate) Jazzbeginners..
I created Backing Tracks beforehand, I pedal invokved firing recording. But when I practice alone I use the Digitech Trii+. It's a looper plus drums and bass comping. Can highly recommend.
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman Thank you!
Thank you for a great tutorial on comping. I'm a believer!!!
Thank you Manuel ❤️
Sandra, grr-eeetings (salutes) from Prescott Arizona! I'd like to express my appreciation for your efforts. I've always loved jazz but always thought it was way above my capabilities. Thanks to you and your excellent lessons I have been able to make progress in learning this great music form. THANKS
Oh, that makes me really happy! ❤️
I love when people find their way into jazz and I can help a little.
Btw, my family lives in Phoenix. I don't know why they wanted to move in the middle of the desert, though 😁.
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman Wow that's a long way from Vienna! Your family must've really wanted a change to go from Vienna to Phoenix! YUK. I grew up in Phoenix and as i got older every summer I hated it more... we're talking 118 degrees Sandra! So in 2008 my wife & I moved 75 miles north to Prescott, which is a little mountain town that is 3900 ft. higher in elevation and so much nicer climate! I love it here. Take care.
Sandra thank you so much I love all your videos you’re such a good teacher two quick questions if I may.
For your right-hand middle and ring finger are they only playing the strings where we are holding down a note or are we including the open strings as well? I guess it depends on whether the open string is a chord tone?
Also, does this hybrid picking style work with chord inversions where the root is not on one of the bass strings?
Thank you so much
No open strings. Yes, sure hybrid picking works for everything. Doesn't have anything to do with what voicing you play.
thank you
Good teacher . That's why I subscribed .😺ready to be jazzy .
Enjoy the jazz ride, my friend 😊
Thanks!
Thanks so much for your donation! ❤️
Hi Sandra.....I love all of your vids, and I have a question......have you ever done one on the song Nature Boy by Eden Abez ? I know that it’s a fairly quick, simple song, but am having trouble figuring out the best fingering for some of the chords....thanks for all you do. I looked on your page but didn’t see it.
I haven't done a toroidal on that I've yet, but I have a performance video of it on YT. Just search for Nature Boy Sandra Sherman and Puddles Pity Party.
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman will do thanks !!!
Missed your bundle offer, will you have it for Christmas?
No, sorry. It was on pretty long, almost 3 weeks.
Ok , this helps with my impossible. I hear the rhythms pridectably to the beat, but applying them to my guitar playing was difficult. little cooperation in movement. Is this normal with some of us? I need to loop it it very slow and practice, but I think this lesson is very helpful in application. I'm going very slow at it though.
Practicing slow is always good! If your brain understand it, it will go into your muscle memory eventually.
I'm glad you made this I really need it! Thank you Bobby
It's really helpful, maybe I could adapt its rhythm pattern to my jazz guitar chord progression book? Few month ago I bought it and I am just practicing sometimes those I type chords..Maj7 stuffs. And I think in rhythm playing left hand's control is important..String pressure.
By the way I love your guitar sound. So warm and round!
You can applay these rhythms to any jazz standard, that has a swing feeling (as most songs have, except for Latin songs). I have a video on my guitar sound. it's calles "Jazz guitar gear recommendations and amp settings". Check it out! A lot of people find it very helpful.
Endlich redet mal jemand über Begleitung :D Hat mir sehr geholfen!
Das freie mich sehr. Ich hab mir das Gleiche gedacht. Immer Solo, Chords, aber niemand zeigt Rhythmik. Wobei die Jazzrhythmik auch wirklich sehr schwer vermittelbar ist. Daher rate ich dir unbedingt viel hören! Und zwar nicht nur Gitarre. Bewusstes Hören funktioniert so: Hör mal in einem Song nur auf das Klavier. Versuche die Rhythmik nachzusingen oder zu klopfen. Im nächsten Durchgang konzentruere dich auf den Bass. Dann Drums etc. Dieser Tip von einem Kollegen anno dazumal hat mich so unglaubluch weitergebracht. Ich habe begonnen das Rhythmusfundament des Jazz zu begreifen und habe es dann immitiert und danach analysiert und notiert. Die letzten zwei Punkte musst du als Nicht Lehrer nicht unbedingt machen.
Viel Erfolg!
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman Ja, ein Thema, das viel zu oft übergangen wird, zumal man ja 90% der Zeit eines Stückes nur mit Comping beschäftigt ist. Auf jeden Fall vielen Dank für die Tipps ;)
That's exactly what I needed!!!
thanks a lot
Nice, just came across your channel. Just subscribed can’t wait to see all the other videos I’ve missed!
Welcome to my channel! Enjoy the jazz ride, my friend!
