It's people like you that make the internet worthwhile. Thanks for making these videos and enlightening the world about this beautiful genre. Big cheers from India!
Greetings from Ottawa Sandra. I just discovered your lessons and am a new subscriber. You explain things so well. Thank you very much for all your work on these great educational videos.
I was originally attracted to jazz by the sound of the chords moving around on the guitar. This is a beautiful example, explained in a very easy to understand manner. Thanks so much.🤙
Every time I stop in here I learn something new. Sandra you are awesome.wish I’d found this Years ago.I’m a bassist that’s learning guitar and when my Eastman comes in I’m gonna live on this site for the rest of the winter..my goal is to learn a song every 2 days
Hey, bass man 😊. I'm glad to see you enjoy my tutorials. Don't rush the songs, though. Try to know what you're doing in the song. Try to analyse the song structure, caences etc. First always comp (rhythm accomanyment) the songs, then go to chord melody.
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman ok Sandra .I’m taking my time..I have no choice.lol guitarist are like contortionist to me .it’s gonna be a while before I can make my hands do what yours do...I’m gonna try though.
Hi Sandra, I found you by searching for a 'tenor madness' solo lesson - now after watching your other lessons, I must say, they are without doubt the clearest, most concise jazz guitar lessons on here! Many thanks, they are much appreciated 👍
Thank you for reigniting my fire,i love pulling chords apart and putting them under the microscope and how they magically turn into other chords some peoples eyes glaze over when i talk about chords a good chord progression can make a mediocre lead player sound good ,and inspire them to new ideas ,i love your style of tutoring also
Oh, I can feel your fire burning. The way you talk about chords and progressions reminds me of my years at the Vienna conservatory. Some colleagues were intimidated by the sheer mass of chords, scales and progressive. But like you, I always loved it, when new doors opened, new possibilities appeared. Never intimidating for me but always exciting.
I have been watching your TH-cam channel for sometime and i likke your tutorials..this one is one that i will have to try..thank you for this post greatly appreciated. I have subscribed !
Amazing video! Great material about minor blues, there's definitely more focus on MAJOR blues out there. I’m starting my own channel and just came across yours, such an inspiration! Keep up the great work! Just subbed!
Hallo Sandra, bin jetzt erst soweit gewesen diese lesson nachzuvollziehen. Einfach Klasse. Die tabs hatte ich mir erstmal nicht runterladen, sondern sie aufgeschrieben, mit all deinen Substitut, Triton Erklärungen. Ich denke ich habe das jetzt geschnackelt. Beschäftige mich schon länger mit Dreiklängen und es geht immer mehr die Sonne auf. Es ist schön Jazz Standards nachhspielen zu können, aber noch schöner ist es die Akkorde aus dem Ärmel schütteln zu können. Tolle lesson, würde mich mehr über solche Deep Dives freuen. Have i told you that i love you von Van the man wäre auch als Chord Melody schön. LG
Dad freie mich sehr, dass du so tief in die Nasszelle rauchst. Denn das hilft dir auch Chord Melody besser zu verstehen und beim sollten zu eisern wo die wichtigen Töne liegen.
Sandra, I just discovered you and wow, you are my holy grail! You are providing me exactly what I need and your tutorials are just perfect for me, I can absorb literally every thing you are giving me. Thank you so much Coach
Sandra! You are amazing! Lesson after lesson, and they are all TOP-NOTCH! More and more ideas from your videos show up in my playing on a daily basis. Just can't thank you enough!
Grrreeetings from Connecticut! I just came across your channel and I’m hooked! New sub! You’re everything I’ve been looking for! Keep up the great work ❤️
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman Yes, but more from experimentation . It's nice to hear the formal articulation of the concepts. Our lovely teacher comes through again.
Excellent! I am going to go to the trouble of transcribing this myself, there is so much valuable information here it is worth the focus and "homework". Thank You...!
Do you have any lessons that would help us figure out the best scale choices for soloing over certain chords such as the ones in this song? Thanks for yet another great lesson! I'm finally making progress with jazz after a decade of blues, rock, and funk. It's a whole new world and I am lovin it!
Was just going to reply, but you found out quicker :-). It was a 3 part feature on jazz blues in minor. Ther 3rd part is with walking bass. Enjoy and stay safe! Sandra
Hi Superalbatros, Thanks so much! You don't need to play every substitution. Just leave some out and it will still sound more exciting, than the regular minor jazz blues progression.
Another great lesson. I'm excited at the prospect of inserting some of these substitutions when I am able to rehearse again with my blues band. Will it screw up the bass player if they are not hip to these changes too? Here is my only complaint: the amount I am spending on your transcriptions and backing tracks is not enough to compensate you for what I am learning from you!
That depends on the tempo. If the tempo is high, you can throw in some of the substitutions without letting the others know. But I suggest everyone plays them. It makes for a much more interesting bass line too. 4 bars of Cm is boring af 😁. Give that bass player something worth the money 😊.
Done both actually 😱 Minor Swing: th-cam.com/video/Ux1EhxxoTog/w-d-xo.html All Of Me: th-cam.com/video/IW9ucey4oiM/w-d-xo.html For future reference, just check what videos I already have up, by clicking on my logo, to go to my channel. Enjoy, Sandra
Hi Sandra, when you talk about the i - vi - V - i turnaround I was wondering why there is an F# and also why it is half-diminished. In A minor shouldn't the sixth be an F Major 7th? Actually I see that between the 2 chords there is only one different note, but it would be very interesting to understand the choice :) Thanks!
Merci Sandra pour vos excellentes leçons !!! J'en suis fan ! Pourriez-vous joindre aux packages (TABS et Playbacks) les DIAGRAMMES des accords ? Bien cordialement
I have several blues videos. Check out my Blues playlist. As for substitutions in a dominant blues, you may like the Swing Style one, where there's a new chord on each quarter bit and therefore quite some substitutions too.
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman Great. I checked them out. As usual they are fantastic! Nice work. Do you know of anyplace where I can find a large list of interesting transition chords for many common cadences? If you happen to have such a list I (and others) would likely being willing to pay for access to it. I think these transition chord sounds are key to next-level improvisation.
Sandra, Great lesson -thanks . Question: I get that once you know the rules in jazz you break them anyway but is a high-level perspective for this - you took 12 bar blues and then 1) used secondary dominants , 2) then set up cadences using a chord before the secondary dominant and 3) then started using tri-tone subs for the secondary dominants and then 4) mixed in some chromatics?
G-r-r-r-eetings from Denver, Colorado, USA! Ein paar Fragen, bitte? Would you have some substitution ideas for a minor blues like “The Thrill Is Gone,” where the turnaround goes #V-V-I-(V)? Do the other players, esp. bass, need to know what substitutions are coming up? Do you use a particular software package for your backing tracks? They sound great. Could you put a tuning note at the beginning of your lessons? Great job, as always. Extremely thorough without being overwhelming!
Very cool! The only question that came up is how you have 2 different half diminished chords in the same Am scale at the end when working on the turnaround. I understand that B half diminished is the 2nd relative to Am7. But F# is not in the Am key signature; it is an Fm7, right? I got lost at this point.
The VI is always a major VI in a turnaround, no matter what key you're in. But if we cheat a bit, it's even explainable 😊. The F# is the VI degree of the A Dorian scale (G major). So its basically a mix of Eolian (Bø) and dorian (F#ø).
Sandra, your lessons are Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat! Although I do believe that the writers of Star Trek must have been musicians at heart as chord substitutions remind me of the Borg...V of I and 2 of V, haha - LOL. Thanks again for an excellent lesson that has really helped put things together!
Hello! It's Thibault from France.Beautifull reharmonisation Professor Sherman. I didn't know those options for the minor turnaround and it sounds great, thanks! A little tricky to improvise with but so spicy! Look Sandra, when you have the "time on your hands" to do it, would you make a video on the same chords progression but with the A string for root, , let's say D minor. I already tryed out your formula to do it, but I come with wide intervals wich are not cool betwen the 6th degree and the 2nd degree (ie Bb9 1rst fret and Emin7(b5) 7th fret). I've splitted the Bb9 in two and filled the second half bar with a Bb9 rootless ( a Dmin7(b5) shape) Is it a good choice or have I to do "something else"?. What do you think? Would it relevant and interressting for all of us to have this lesson? "three little words" for you: Thank you Sandra! :) Bons baisers de Lille
I have a question - is it true that while we use the Minor Blues Scale for the melody - but actually we should use the harmonic or melodic minor scale to construct the chords to accompany it?
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman Thanks, I think I understand now. I was earlier confused about whether to derive the chords (Triads) only from the degrees of the scale (Blues minor) used (i.e. 1, b3, 4, #4, 5 & 6), but as per your reply - it (harmony) actually can be beyond the scales. Plz correct me.
Awesome tutorial. Why is there an F and an F# in this progression? It seems the F should be the VI because it's the 6th note of the aeolian scale which is minor but then on the turnaround why does it change to a major VI?
That's how a turnaround works. I VI II V. The VI is always a major 6th, no matter what the underlying scale is. But if you look at it as an A Dorian scale you even have a major 6th in there 😉
@@mikemoran7036 I don't know, really 😊. The bVI has established itself within a minor Blues and the same holds true for the VI in the turnsround. That's just how it evolved over the centuries. Sorry, maybe there's a better explanation, but I don't have one 😊.
Am6 = F#øb9, so it's basically the same. You can do that, but it kinda takes away the F# surprise 😊. The G in an Am7 chord leads to the F#. You get a bet voice adding on not 2 of the same chords, that are just inverted.
Hey Sandra, greetings from Hungary. I am just wondering these substitutions how could work in a I-IV-V jazz theme? As far as I am aware only the fifth degree ( the dominant 7th) can be substituted here , but in jazz blues all can be dominant . My idea is to combine substitution ideas , rules into jazz blues with the walking bass and later with licks. Wondering would you have any material in relation to this topic ? Tschüs :)
Thanks, neighbor! Well, I have all those topics in seperate videos. I have several videos on walking bass and one for the minor blues walking bass in particular. I also have a soloing on a minor blues lesson, of that's what you mean.
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman Thanks Sandra, I just got into your tutorials. Definitely interested in minor blues walking bass n solos. But also I meant to study sub chords in I-IV-V blues. I think this topic is the best when someone can demonstrate it in action. Thanks again and keep up the great work!
Thank you for the wonderful lesson! But i have a question, why is there an A minor leading to an F dominant chord? In the normal 12 bar blues usually it is a V chord right? Im talking about the F before the E7altered btw. Thank you very much!
The Minor blues has the bVI (F in this case) preceeding the V chord. Sometimes it's not played, but that sounds boring. Therfore a lot of people put it into their arrangements. This is done so in different styles, like Pop, Blues or Jazz.
Nein, natürlich nicht. Man kann einfach ein paar ii-V weglassen und nur da s ergänzen, was einem gefällt. Ich Hans ziemlich vollgeoackt, damit man alle möglichen Ideen und Variationen bekommt.
Looky, I have a video up where I show my equipment and give gear advice. It's called "Jazz Guitar Gear Recommendations and amp settings": th-cam.com/video/-6Tylw4gf0E/w-d-xo.html Enjoy the jazz ride!
I'm sorry I didn't achieve my goal of clearing things up. To sum it up and maybe clarify: Just put a minor ii-V before most of the minor chords. That jazzes up the Minor blues and gives you way more possibilities to solo over.
Very good take on the 2/5 and 1/6/2/5 turnaround. Last week I wrote you about Joe Pass playing with a cutoff piece of a pick. Here is a link to that video where he speaks about it at 6:20. Hope you dig it😎 th-cam.com/video/3tb2UOpfEE4/w-d-xo.html

Those substitutions really make this video a beautiful lesson. Thank you very much !
Glad you like the challenge with the substitutions 😊
Yes Sandra, I like tritone sub. It doesn't just sound great, it can also make life easier on 2-5-1s and turnarounds in particular...it seems to me !

Great teacher...
Well done Sandra. You made this lesson simple and yet quite interesting. My only concern is knowing when each chord should be played.
I don't quite understand. The order (chird progression) is like in the video.
I guess I should have said how should I count out this chord progression.
This is so clear and understandable much more then mr. Larsens video, that is just a level to high for me at the moment, but I'm learning fast.
Thank you, my friend! I think Jens is great! I teach at a slower pace, though. There's room for each of us 😊
great stuff - Thanks!
Glad you dig the Blues stuff :-) Keep swingin!
Really digging your lessons,So glad to discover :) :)
That makes me happy 😊. Grrrreetings to Nepal! ❤️
Oh my God...so clear, thanks a lot.
Thank you, fellow jazz friend! ❤️
There you are! Haven't seen you for a while. Was wondering where you went. Love the way you play and your lessons.

Merci beaucoup.
Hi Sandra, when you talk about the i - vi - V - i turnaround I was wondering why there is an F# and also why it is half-diminished. In A minor shouldn't the sixth be an F Major 7th? Actually I see that between the 2 chords there is only one different note, but it would be very interesting to understand the choice :) Thanks!
A Turnaround always uses the major VI, either as a m7, an alt chords (dom) or a half diminished chord
this is the coolest applied chord substitution lesson ive seen
How nice of you! Thanks , Richard ❤️
Always a great job ,,,Thanks a lot!!!!!!
Thanks Roman! Trying my best 😊

I think you're confusing stuff there. In Jazz Blues we use many different scales, the Blues scale being the least used.

In the turnaround, wouldn’t the Am6 work to lead to the F sharp 1/2 diminished? Since it already contains the F sharp?
Am6 = F#øb9, so it's basically the same. You can do that, but it kinda takes away the F# surprise 😊. The G in an Am7 chord leads to the F#. You get a bet voice adding on not 2 of the same chords, that are just inverted.
Hey Sandra, greetings from Hungary. I am just wondering these substitutions how could work in a I-IV-V jazz theme? As far as I am aware only the fifth degree ( the dominant 7th) can be substituted here , but in jazz blues all can be dominant . My idea is to combine substitution ideas , rules into jazz blues with the walking bass and later with licks. Wondering would you have any material in relation to this topic ? Tschüs :)
Thanks, neighbor! Well, I have all those topics in seperate videos. I have several videos on walking bass and one for the minor blues walking bass in particular.
I also have a soloing on a minor blues lesson, of that's what you mean.
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman Thanks Sandra, I just got into your tutorials. Definitely interested in minor blues walking bass n solos. But also I meant to study sub chords in I-IV-V blues. I think this topic is the best when someone can demonstrate it in action. Thanks again and keep up the great work!
Thank you for the wonderful lesson! But i have a question, why is there an A minor leading to an F dominant chord? In the normal 12 bar blues usually it is a V chord right? Im talking about the F before the E7altered btw. Thank you very much!
The Minor blues has the bVI (F in this case) preceeding the V chord. Sometimes it's not played, but that sounds boring. Therfore a lot of people put it into their arrangements. This is done so in different styles, like Pop, Blues or Jazz.
Guitarversum Sandra Sherman ah i see. That cleared things up. Thank you very much for the great lesson! Really good work 🙏
That's an interesting one. Cool chords, but it looks hard to solo over with that many chords.
I'll have a solo video up in a few weeks, that uses these exact changes 😊
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman How cool! Can't wait.
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman I just watched your Walking Bass video on this Minor Blues. It's so so awesome. You made an old guy really happy :-)
Hey, das is echt eine super Lesson! Ich nehme an, man muss nict alle Substitutionen nutzen?
Nein, natürlich nicht. Man kann einfach ein paar ii-V weglassen und nur da s ergänzen, was einem gefällt. Ich Hans ziemlich vollgeoackt, damit man alle möglichen Ideen und Variationen bekommt.
thanks from Austr...alia
Ha, where there ARE kangaroos 😁
Hello Sandra thank you I want to know the name of your guitar Best regards
Looky, I have a video up where I show my equipment and give gear advice. It's called "Jazz Guitar Gear Recommendations and amp settings": th-cam.com/video/-6Tylw4gf0E/w-d-xo.html
Enjoy the jazz ride!

this started out really useful ... then got way over complicated so the forest was lost because of all the trees thrown in the way ....
I'm sorry I didn't achieve my goal of clearing things up. To sum it up and maybe clarify: Just put a minor ii-V before most of the minor chords. That jazzes up the Minor blues and gives you way more possibilities to solo over.
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman Thanks Sandra. Sometimes too many options to keep in my tiny brain!
You have a nice accent.
Thanks, it's not intentional, though, lol.
Две, три секунды показывайте аккорды - две, три минуты говорите... Я не успеваю разглядеть, что делать...
Very good take on the 2/5 and 1/6/2/5 turnaround. Last week I wrote you about Joe Pass playing with a cutoff piece of a pick. Here is a link to that video where he speaks about it at 6:20.
Hope you dig it😎
