That was a good one Sandra. I’ve worked inversions out many times but I never thought of doing it that way. A lot of times I write the notes on paper but I didn’t think of the alphabetical arrangement. Bravo!
Just a little hint can open so many doors. glad you like it. Apply it to whatever you can, in order to find new voicings. And then memorize only the onse you like the most.
Sandra I’ve followed your lessons for some time now and they are always great...but whatever your not eating....please send it to me !...you look terrific !! hoping it’s all good
Hi John, yes we're good here. I'm a curfew, but since I do most of my stupid at home anyeay, not so much of a difference 😊. Hope you're ok too! All the best and stay safe! ❤️
Enjoyed a rare Sunday brunch today😄. Sandra, this was a very good lesson! I’ve been working on stuff like this, actually, but I’ve never heard your trick before. And, pulling a more manageable triad out of a chord is a great idea to maintain flavor, while the bass player keeps things rooted. Especially for my arthritic hands! Some stretches are insane. Stay safe👍
Guitarversum Sandra Sherman Well, you manage expertly! Hope you can avoid arthritis (really limiting as well). {I had to edit this} I just applied your trick to one of my fav voicings DA#CF (5856 inner 4) > A#CDF (8,10,7,11 inner 4) for a voicing I’ve never (consciously) used before. Been there all along😄.
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman lol! I guess I should have found out if you're married first! Oh, well! A lucky man, with an obvious sense of humor! Thank you both and stay safe!
Hi Victor! Hope you're well! Are you in quarantine too? We have a curfew here. But I'm totally ok with it. We boarder Italy and I know ensues going on there, so staying home is a good thing. More time to practice 😊
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman Happy to know you are well. I emigrated recently. I am okay, yes the lock down is giving us more time to practice, it was so nice to see you on my phone, hoping to have better access to the Internet soon, stay well. ❤️
Do you have any tips for using these more complex chords (alt dominants, maj9#11 type chord voicings) in a way that doesn't sound too dissonant and clashing with the band and with the chord tones themselves? (avoiding m9 intervals and things like that)
Usually we avoid "Avoid Notes" in chords. Almost each mode has (at least) one such avoid note. But they can sound pretty awesome if used intentionally by theentire band!
hello neighbor. I slapped "like" but honestly I have a cloud of questions arround my head, so if you can comment it would be appreciated: a. You took chord tones and "re-sort" them alphabetically- I can draw them from the hat, is that OK, and get some order which s not the starting one.. correct ? b. then i find the new order of tones on same strings where i had original. this is to ensure that i get some kind of inversion, new voicing.. I've got that... but sometimes i can get impossible fingering like 7.24 .. instead of playing two triads, can I use all strings to rearrange fingering and make it possible, of course paying attention on order of tones ? it may work sometimes..anyhow cool trick :)
Sure you can experiment with that strategy! Maybe you will come up with some really new Azur Ajanovic voicings ;-) It#s always a good idea to make things your own.
Another fantastic lesson Sandra - just the type of thing I've been looking for to help me "build" chords and understand the various steps to take. Do you have a PDF or similar of what you would regard as "necessary" jazz chords and extensions? I would be happy to buy it or something similar, and I'm sure lots of your subscribers would too. I hope that you and your family are all well and safe in these strange and unusual times. Stay safe. (I have downloaded the 7th CHORDS INVERSIONS from E-String PDF).
Thanks you! Yes I have the basic jazz 7th chords lesson and the Tension Chords lesson here on YT. They also have the PDFs links in the description box: Jazz 7th Chords: th-cam.com/video/Qx9hQrYx-8c/w-d-xo.html Jazz Tension Chords: th-cam.com/video/86vKnTC8_QI/w-d-xo.html Enjoy, Sandra

With my tiny fingers, I've become an expert in workarounds for large streches 😁

The intervals in your third inversion of the Gmaj7#11 sounds like the opening chord in Cry Me A River
Interesting. I'll have to listen to it with that in mind.
Vielen dank für die guten Ideen
Gern geschehen! :-)
GMaj7#11 inversion can be played like these without stretching too much right?
E - (7th fret)
A - x
D - x
G - (6)
B - (7)
E - (3)
