- 🎵Having the right technique to play jazz guitar is an important foundation. If you have poor technique then everything you try to play might not sound quite right. You may end up with ringing open strings and slightly out of tune notes. In today's jazz guitar technique lesson I show you the foundation of my fretting hand technique, covering the following topics:
🔴 How I play notes for the best pitch
⚫️ Using the first finger on the pad
🔴 Muting methods
00:00 Intro
00:24 Pressure
02:15 Index on the pad
03:45 Close to the fret
05:05 Muting as you lift
06:11 Mute with the next finger
07:13 Do you have any technique tips?

Very good. The section on using the pad of the first finger was really eye-opening. Great stuff.
Cheers Don. Happy new year to you.
Really useful video!! Definitely I could still be lighter on my fingers!
Thanks James. It is such an important technical step to take 👍
A very worthwhile lesson, I will certainly practice this in the future. Thank you for sharing
Thanks again for tuning in Stuart.
Great advice, particularly the muting. Maybe in a later video cover sounding harmonics and muting them. Many thanks
I love these tips, and I’ve been working on the chord muting, so this is great! Thanks Andy! 👏🎶
No problem 👍 Thanks for the ☕️ I’m sure you will get a lot going forward with these muting techniques 😎
I have a question, possibly a stupid one. When I practice arpeggios, I play them all over the neck, wherever it’s possible, I’m not a fan of position practicing because it’s boring as hell.
I have some main ones I take through the keys: Maj7, min7, minMaj7, Dom7, m7b5 and full diminished. What do you think about taking one arpeggio at a time through the keys instead of completing those 6 at a time before moving on to the next key? I feel like if you’d take one at a time through the keys, your brain isn’t scattered all over the place.
Hi Mark, I do that a lot. It’s a great way to practice. Try taking an arpeggio around the circle of 4ths. When you can do 1357 then try the subsequent inversions: 3571, 5613, 7135. Now that’s a good test!
@@jazzguitarwithandy Alright thank you, I appreciate it.
It’s great to sing or hum it when you practice it too 👍
@@jazzguitarwithandy Oh, that makes sense. You kinda anticipate the notes sound in your head and if it matches, that’s great, you’re on the right track of recognizing sounds
As a 1 year beginner I have a problem with notes sounding 'choppy' instead of more legato or a smooth transition from note to note. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Practicing very slowly is important. I think trying to play scales legato would be my first port of call. You want to have no gap between the notes. When playing two notes on the same string keep the previous finger down. The first finger working on the pad is very important. I’d really need to see you play to advise properly.

@@jazzguitarwithandy Thanks Andy. I'll check that out.
Thanks Andy. Is that a new guitar? It doesn't look like an L5. Do you still have your blond archtop?
I’ve had this one for 3 months or so. Still have the blonde, but no longer have the 355. That has to go to make way for this beauty!
@@jazzguitarwithandy I'm jealous. Is that an L5 Wes Montgomery?
It’s a Gibson Super V. It’s an L5 body with a Super400 neck.
