- Here's the next episode of Chordplay with a 'Jazz Guitar Primer.'
I've received a number of requests to cover the basics of this musical style in a lesson and over the years I've had a lot of students ask for information and wanting an overall approach to breaking into this style of music - so here we go!
This lesson takes a look at some jazz guitar basics, including how to approach using seventh chords, getting a feel for the ii-V-I progression (a.k.a. the "jazz progression"), a few tips on comping and arranging chords using a jazz style, and finishes with a brief look at tackling a very famous jazz standard.
If you're curious about jazz and/or interested in diving a little deeper into this style of music, this lesson is totally for you!

I’ll say it again my favorite channel on guitar instruction.
rcc AGREED!
All my guitar teacher were jazz players. David this a breathe of fresh air. Thank you!
Giant “YES PLEASE!!”
I think we’re all on board for more!!
THANK YOU, DAVID!!! This is gonna be so helpful and amazing!!!
Nice smooth low key lesson. Looking forward to seeing more of your jazz lessons.
This is a great introduction! And with some real substance. I've been dabbling in YT from jazz guitar instructors (Rotem Sivan and Jens Larsen are both excellent), but it's too much for a humble intermediate rock/funk/pop oriented student like me. This lesson is like a map or table of contents to that world, invaluable to digest first. I'm gonna spend some time on it. And Little Sunflower is a great choice. It has all the essential elements, but doesn't bowl you over with a 12 chord progression and multiple scales or modes. And that's a nice, clear explanation of connection to the underlying scale and between the melody and progression. Thank you, sensei!
Don't limit yourself to 20 minutes and hell yeah, cover everything. That was informative and educational and I haven't even picked up the guitar and applied any of it yet.. which I most certainly will do.
I dig jazz and theory. A couple of the skills that jazz players have going on that have always impressed me is the combining chords melody lines in improvisations and their use of chord substitutions. And I'm always looking for new variations on the 6, 2, 5 turnaround.
Thanks David love ur lessons I laughed when u did that crossbar only a serious student of the guitar would know that maneuver.
You are such a versatile guitarist and teacher! Fantastic lesson. Thank you!
DEFINITELY interested in more jazz lessons David!!!
Thanks, I love you lessons and your playing- I'd love to see more Jazz and theory based lessons like this one.
I'm a huge Steve Lukather fan. You can hear the Jazz influence in his music, especially his solo stuff and Los Lobotomys. I thoroughly enjoyed this lesson and hope you will continue the series.
Trippin' out, just watching old Chris Poland Ohm concert at Baked Potato and was going to rewatch your 3 Chris Poland licks and here you've got so more jazz guitar for me. Got to have "Great timing" for jazz my friends. Definitely can't get enough of jazz. Check out Mickey Baker's Jazz Guitar book, that will break a finger quick.
I've never been a big fan of jazz but love the textures the chords give us. Jimmy Page and Andy Summers were really great at applying them to rock music.
Yeah nice lesson, i love it
Great lesson David! More please.
You are an amazing teacher... great content, great presentation. I really wish you will triple your subscriptions soon!
Great lesson!! Please do more jazz :)
Even if you don't play Jazz or even listen to it, it's great for helping you connect the dots of music theory.
It’s a ‘yeah’ from me as well. I was a guitar major in college. When the teacher started off with Autumn Leaves, I quickly decided to change majors. Eddie Van Halen never covered that Clapton song! As I’ve gotten older though, it would be good to refresh my palette from the normal stuff.
The chords of Paul Kossoff would be epic! Love your channel, david!
Love the way you approach teaching! It'd be awesome if you keep doing this jazz series! Thanks for the content!
Been waiting for you to delve off into a little jazz!!!! 🤘 Horn's tf up for some jazz... love it as usual great work!... throw in jazz/fusion for us in the future please sir
Love the variety. I would love it if you continued to do jazz stuff like this!
Here, here!!!!
More please, would love to get into more jazz guitar.
Thank you mate,love your channel and the "classy"way you put out things 👍
LATE NIGHT LESSONS, Can you make a video about Jazz modes being used.
I know the RULES for using Relative Modes but I don't know the rules on how when to use parallel modes. Parallel Modes means by using modes in different keys.
1.) When does JAZZ songs use parallel modes from different keys? any examples that you can think of
2.) Whats the rules of using parallel modes in jazz music?
3.) How can you tell if a chord progression is Modal or Tonal? and how can you convert a Tonal Chord Progression into a Modal Chord Progression?
I know you already have a lesson that touches on Frank Marino's jazz flavorings but some of my favorites sound even more jazz like to me; "It's Begun To Rain", "Look At Me", "Lady" and "Tryin' Anyway". If you're ever wondering of what to do for another lesson some parts from these would be awesome.
Great lesson. Tabs would be more than wellcome!!🤘🎸❤
Cool lesson!!
LOVE IT!! great to add these cords to any repertoire....
HELL YEA!!!...finally an excuse to get that 335 I’ve had my eye on!!!...rock on my brother (or “Jazz” on)
This is so crazy! So I started a new journey starting January 1st. I decided that I was going to put the rock cover band thing to the side a bit and really concentrate on music theory. My ear keeps pulling me to Jazz/ Blues. So when you had talked about John Mayer and now this jazz lesson you have my full on attention. I am new to it and am really trying to find ways to get started. I have bought Rick Beato's book and now have subscribed to TomoFujitaMusic and I am hoping that with These two tools and the internet I can get this going. The only thing I have noticed is there is no real set program from these two meaning it is still hard to follow. I feel like I need an instructor sitting right in front of me which I am trying to find in my area. I need guidance lol. Anyhow as you can see this really stuck me! Great lesson and thank you!
Really enjoyed this lesson, many thanks.. 🎸 ☺️
Definitely a yeah! from me.
Great Thanks for doing!!
I’m in the “Yeah!” camp.
🍺ski right on. Montgomery, Martino, Early Benson, Breau, Bruno etc if my vote counts have @ it. Like you I unwind with Jazz usually with a good Scotch.
More Jazz lessons Please... 🎸
Always had a love for Grant Green. He could swing, groove while keeping the jazz feel. That would get my vote if you want to explore Jazz. Thanks for this it really gave me perspective.
Nice Channel mate, thanks for the lessons
Great, thank you! ...we might get a connection to Michael Landau and Scott Henderson this way...i would love to learn some of their chord (-melody) stuff from you!
Thank you for your contin. great work!
part two please!
The jazz content is great! You break it down in a simple & straightforward manner. If you could, maybe you could delve into chord substitutions a little more. I love a lot of those jazz chords but there seems to be minimal "entry level" stuff on chord substitutions for jazz. Sorta "jazz harmony for dummies" type stuff.
Hi @DaveBrewster,
I look forward to each lesson you post to YT.
I think your channel is one of the best for guitar instruction. Love your style!
I am an 80s hard rock/metal head born to Brasilian parents... growing up the jazz was free-flowing in my house.
Like chocolate and peanut butter, I've always thought that rock and jazz (NOT JAZZ FUSION) make a very interesting and melodic musical combination.
However, aside from the few interesting groups like Steely Dan, Stone Temple Pilots, The Police/Sting, Lee Ritenour and even Rush (Lifeson uses the major 7th quite a bit), I've never found bands/musicians that meld these two awesome genres together.
Do you have any favorite rock-jazz bands that you recommend?
Jazz chords, when played correctly are beautiful-when I play them...not so much. I will keep practicing. : )
Thanks bro🙏🙉🎸
Funny because I recently asked my teacher precisely that : “can you show me jazz chords?”. However, your explanations are far more interesting 😅. By the way I’m into metal but I also like to learn jazz chords because I love their flavor.
I love mixing Jazz and Metal and they are the 2 most anything goes musical styles!
Great vid. Like to hear something from Glen Campbell
Next video idea "Pick Pic run through" Curious about the pick selection behind you!
If there's any interest in it, I would like to see a break down of something really famous like Rhythm Changes or Coltrane Changes. I think I have a basic knowledge of them...which probably means i don't understand them at all
That B note in the melody over the Dmin is what makes it Dorian. But that note is not in the key of Dmin. Also , Lydian over the IV (EbMaj7) works, so the Dmin tonality is simply minor/Aeolian. So, wondering if the B note should just be considered to be an "out" passing tone? Sorry to get pedantic - this is a good little tune to test out my just-enough-to-be-dangerous knowledge!
I'm not much of a jazz guy... I like the fact that they improvise a lot though.
Although , I loved Mr.Roger's backing music . When I was young.
Bit off topic but You may have heard of Tom Quayle? (I don't want to assume you have!) He's a fusion player and famous on 'you tube' for his legato and hybrid picking I was very impressed by his precision when I first saw him, worth a look if you've never seen him before.
Tom Quayle does that crazy modal approach where you switch to different modes from different parent-scales for each chord that ends up sounding like crazy Steely Dan guitar solos! Amazing!
thank you!
too difficult for me ^^ I can play easyless but I don't understand what I'm playing
Yes! How about chords of John scofield.
LATE NIGHT, can you make a video lesson about Danny Gatton because he uses a lot of jazz chord changes which would be a good jazz lesson on chord voice leading.
The hard part about playing jazz is you have to know the chord changes to know which modes to use what i mean is how do you know the "red flags and cues" to know the chord change is a phyrgian mode chord change or a mixolydian chord change or a lydian chord change. An Experienced jazz musician knows these red flag and cues in the chord changes to tell them which MODE to play.
Love the diversity,no good just basing your playing on 'picking up the crumbs' that fall off shredders table!
How about,three from or chords of....Chris Whiteley,din of ecstasy,specially 'oh God.....,cheers👍
More Jazz please . . .
I'm torn between "Yeah, jazz chords!" and "GOONIES NEVER SAY DIE!" :-)
Please please please.. do something about Kee Marcello... SUPER underrated player
Nevmerind literally just realized you already did.. you're the champ!
Wes Montgomery Please!
Ohhhhh, yeah !!!

I don’t understand theory. Bummer.
Everyone learns it little by little. I used to know no Theory and now I know a pretty good amount of Theory, but there's so much I don't know. Every new bit of Theory I learn inspires me for the rest of the next year.
Maybe I’ll figure it out someday. Thanks
@@bigfootninjajr1481 If I can suggest one small thing.... Learn the A Minor Scale from the 5th fret of the Low E String to the Octave on the 7th fret of the D String: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, A.
Then learn the C Major Scale the same way from the 8th Fret of the Low E String: C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C.
Turns out those are 2 parts of the same scale. The numbers like 5th, 3rd, and 7th that you hear mentioned are just the numbered notes of the scale. An 'A' Root & 5th Power Chord is A and note number 5 'E.'
That's where I began. Try to start finding more spots with those same notes (higher versions, lower versions). You'll visually see where chord shapes fit over those scale fingerings. Just remember no musician needs to know everything. I certainly don't.
BTW, I started on drums and only really got into guitar at age 25, so I got a very late start.
Jazz just doesn't resonate with me
