Just a heads up: there's a typo @7:51 (Let's try somewhere else). The third beat/note in the G major 7 is an E in the video when it should be D (Fret 10 high E). This is correct on the PDF linked in the description. Apologies! Andy
You are speaking directly to my needs and stage in development here. Glad to hear that you are planning a monthly segment on this topic. What you just said covered about 4 months of me blundering about in this general area. Clear and actionable. Thanks!
A back to basics lessons here. This kind of practice is about laying a strong foundation. Let me know if you have any questions and I hope you enjoy the series. Andy
Great job, first things first. There are no shortcuts to musical proficiency. Guitarists especially seem to want the results without putting in the work. To be a musician with out learning anything about musical theory, how does that work? It’s not about practice, it’s learning and practicing the right way. I realize I will get flamed for this.
This guy actually knows how to teach. Once you experience a good teacher it becomes obvious they approach whatever subject it is quite differently than a typical ‘teaching is the transferring of facts/information’ style The time I’ve spent on his basic videos is so useful as it builds a very solid foundation that I can conceptually build from much easier than doing and learning things in a haphazard way (it’s a cliche but it’s so true.)
Thank you 🙏 That was exactly the intention behind this. I often feel a lot of videos ignore the hard work that guitar players to just to get in a position to improvise.
@@jazzguitarwithandy I thank you so much for your videos- they have sincerely helped me progress tremendously. You have a gift for teaching and it’s quite noticeable.
Wow, an instructional video with actual “learning objectives” chunked into achievable and logically sequenced actions steps! I’ve watch and subscribe to some phenomenal jazz content creators, but your approach fills the gaps-especially re “how to practice.” Thanks!
My wife actually asked me " what song is that" while i was playing the first exercise. It worked !! Lol. I really like your teaching methods and style. Very thorough. Thanks for this and look forward to getting through all of these and your great breakdowns of standards. Cheers mate. 🍺
Thank you Andy, This is absolutely brilliant. Your detailed description of how to make the theory of arpeggios work for a real standard, coupled with using the musicality of singing the notes is the best teaching I’ve seen on TH-cam. Your work is really appreciated.
Very informative video! I love that you're making a series on basic fundamentals like this. I still struggle a bit with things like following chord changes with my soloing. I look forward to seeing the rest of this series
Andy! Your studio is looking great, great production values all around...And for those of us with lesser skill sets, this new lesson set is SPOT ON ! Cheers from So Cal.
fantastic and thorough, really love the foundational approach. great to have the practice routine. appreciate the step wise process. intermediate guitar player - getting into jazz. perfect lesson
A ton of people do not realize that all of the jazz greats like Davis, and Coltrane and Armstrong were already fluent with their instrument BEFORE they were messing with jazz proper. And beyond that: they didn't jump into bebop before they had already been playing the less complex genres of jazz. Most people can't play jazz because they simply can't play at all.
I think I'll take that train! I learned to play Manha do carnaval with you, in just a week, it was so simple! My goal will be to improvise a bit on that kind of song. Thank you so much ! First i will find a way to know my arpeggios on the common jazz chords, you know , -7th Maj7 Hdim, 7(b9) , but also i noticed you are playing some arpreggios a fieuw steps (frettes in french) higher, why is that ? Apologies for my poor English , i'm a french speaking ;-) Best regards Daniel from Brussels.
Hi Daniel, welcome aboard! Yes, I show the arpeggio outline in two different positions on the guitar. It's just to illustrate that we can find the same thing elsewhere. The joys of learning the fretboard 😎
Hey, thanks for the feedback. I suppose the chords isn't the primary focus of the lesson, but in hindsight it wouldn't have hurt. Just wanted to keep things looking clean visually.
Hey Andi, one question: I'm a intermediate guitarist, playing mainly Progressive Metal, Rock and Blues and I want to start to learn Jazz and Neo soul. What would be your advice to begin the journey? Is there something that you would propose to start with? Thanks a lot! 😊
Hey! Here's a few thoughts. Learning standards and listening is key to begin with. Learn the changes and melodies to the standards that appeal to you and get out there and play with others. Secondly, make sure you know your harmony. In my experience most guitarists don't know the major scale in all keys and the chords within those keys, yet they are busy trying to do things with modes. Good luck on your journey 🎸

I know, I might break YT! 😂
Andy, I've watched quite a few of your videos, but only recently came across this series. Very helpful, thanks for putting them together.
Thanks Richard - glad you've found it helpful.
This is fantastic. I don't know why your videos aren't more popular.
Thanks!

You're very welcome!
I hope you get the traffic you deserve. I’ve been scouring TH-cam for just… YOU. Thanks man.
Teaching is perfect for a dude like me, accomplished guitarist looking to transition to jazz.
🎸🙏 Glad to be of help!
Really good idea! I'm interested to see where this goes over 12 months.
Cheers 🎸
Small bites of information to master and build on is what I need
Merci, This is exactly what I need.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Great stuff. Back to basics is really helpful. Looking forward to the next one. Can you do this through a Bird blues?
I've planned out quite a bit of the series, but I'll have a look at that.
Thank you Andy,
This is absolutely brilliant.

Thanks for the feedback - glad you enjoyed it :)
Thanks for this great content. For the masses of “self taught” jazz guitarists this is important foundational structure.
You're very welcome Mike. Let me know how you get on :)
Excellent plan, Andy! Looking forward to following it. I hope it includes some tips about how to think ahead or what enables an improviser to do that.
Yes, it will do over the course of the lessons.
This series looks gooooood!! Thanks Andy!!!
Thank you 🙏
Very informative video! I love that you're making a series on basic fundamentals like this. I still struggle a bit with things like following chord changes with my soloing. I look forward to seeing the rest of this series
Thanks. I thought it would be fun to try a series for a change.
Really helpful, looking forward to this series!
Thanks 🙏

Thank you - glad you think so, been putting a bit more work into the production recently.
Great instruction-looking forward to the series.
Thank you.
This is gold
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great lesson, really well taught. Looking forward to to upcoming lessons.
Thank you 🙏

Thanks for the feedback 🙏
Outstanding. Well done.
Thanks Don.
Amazing! Super stoked for this series! :))
Glad to hear it!
excellent lesson Andy-clear concise -no bullshit.
Thanks 🙏
Merci de ces précieux conseil Bravo
tu es le bienvenu
Absolutely, I wish I had learned chord tones and arpeggios right from the outset instead of stumbling and bumbling for literal decades.
I think many guitarists have had the same experience.
A ton of people do not realize that all of the jazz greats like Davis, and Coltrane and Armstrong were already fluent with their instrument BEFORE they were messing with jazz proper.
And beyond that: they didn't jump into bebop before they had already been playing the less complex genres of jazz.
Most people can't play jazz because they simply can't play at all.
Yes and I think having an appreciation of the history/how it developed helps understand this.

Hi Andy...Digging in, why not put the diagrams for the chord shapes at 4:10 ? It would make things easier, right?
Hey, thanks for the feedback. I suppose the chords isn't the primary focus of the lesson, but in hindsight it wouldn't have hurt. Just wanted to keep things looking clean visually.
Great start to what i am looking for. Please tilt down a smidge on your next one. Thanks so much!
You're welcome :)
I like basics.
Excellent!
Cheers Mike!
This what I am here for
Cheers Matthew 🙏

Andy, a typo at Bar 28? Shouldn't the third quarter note be a D (B string at the 14 the fret)?
Oops! I mean 15th fret.
Thanks for spotting that! I've corrected it on the PDF.
This is great! So helpful 😊 thank you 😊
You're very welcome Annette.
