    This TH-cam lesson is a segment of the full video lesson. I am only showing the first three-chord shapes out of the six. Get the book or video to get the other three. Or better yet, get the PLAY STANDARDS WITH JUST SIX CHORDS series and all the chords and names are shown there.
    If you play blues guitar you might be interested in my other TH-cam video on playing blues guitar with jazz chords:

      Ditto. If you're not having fun you're not learning. Well, sometimes when you get a little more advanced you can practice some tedious stuff but at the beginning at least it should get you playing fast and easy.

      Thank you MatkoCmilansky. So glad you dig it. It's a funny thing with this TH-cam video lesson. it was a printed paper-back, book and video package first that got no attention. No music store distributor publisher would pick up. For five years the TH-cam video went nearly un-noticed. About year six it took off and if anything keeps getting more popular as time goes by. It has been quite gratifying to have the book find its audients with talented guitar players looking for new directions that are easy to digest. I think I will repost this letter to you as a comment myself. By the way, a new book and video package for rock guitarist on Playing Jazz Blues will be out next month. Thanks again....Glen

    Mr.Rose, I'm a musician of over 35years and i'd just like to say your instruction style is phenomenal! the "lets do the fun stuff first THEN worry about how we got there" builds a confidence in the student that "hey , I can play that!" with out boring the student out of the interest of playing guitar with dry theory. I wish school teachers would follow this pattern.

      So true! There would be a whole lot more amazing piano players in the world as well, if piano teachers taught this way. I can remember it like it was yesterday. 1966, skinny little nine-year-old, piano teacher with a German accent in Eugene Oregon, “fundamentals! Play that scale again until you get it right!” Instead of, “what is your favorite Beatles song? Let me teach you that.” Get me hooked on the drug first and then show me how it’s made. Quit that nonsense after three years and picked up a guitar!

Now moving onto the jazzy stuff and creating my own music. Bought a guitar today and only want to learn the improv stuff for now. The fun stuff! Maybe buy a loop pedal soon...really get creative! Thats what music is ultimately about. Creativity and expression. Once I have an interest in something I will want to teach myself the fundanentals. But for now I want to learn HOW not WHY?

      In the second chord, he plays D, F#, C, E - but isn't that is D9?

      The first chord is Amin7 which is the II so everything is in G.
      Then, D9, where D is V from G - check.
      The last must be Gmaj7 ... F# (is the maj7) H and D the third and fifth. OK got it.

    Very educational, Glen! The jazzworld can seem like such a tough nut to crack for regular pop/rock players. Certain people like to promote it as high culture which sets a sort of barrier for anyone who wants to get into it. With this video you tear down these imaginary walls, and breaks it down the music to its simplest form, which makes it accessible to anyone. Even to people who are just starting out learning to play an instrument. Which is no small feat. Great work, Glen!

      Listen to the Micheal Franks tune, "Down in Brazil" on TH-cam. He uses the three-chord, major jazz pattern for the entire tune. He uses it in six different places and that's the entire tune. You can do the same sort of thing.

    but to know how to play it ad how it works first is so much quicker and better and then the names of the chords actually make sense and you remember them.

But the way you approached it (and they look like open chords A, B7 and "A minor" that I know), it made me ready to learn jazz right now. Thanks again

    • @SantiagoReil

    • @Toycey123
      @Toycey123 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Santiago Reil So when he was playing the "first chord" on the fifth fret, he was playing ii7-V7-Imaj7 in G major (capital Roman numerals = major chord, lowercase = minor chord).
      So in a major key the chords go:
      I-ii-iii-IV-V-vi-vii
      vii isn't actually minor, it's half-finished but that doesn't matter right now.
      The dissonances which go with each chord are:
      Imaj7-ii7-iii7-IVmaj7-V7-vi7-vii7
      So as you can see, in the key of G, the chords are Am7, D7, Gmaj7.

      Or how about The Girl From Ipanema, the original recording of which employs a guitar, and not much more, as vocal accompaniment. Of course, there are a number of key changes along with some altered chords, but nothing all that difficult if you have a chord manual handy, and the song is full of the types of chord groupings that you talk about. Plus, despite the fact that some real jazz guitarists (of which I, unfortunately, am not one) might roll their eyes and consider this tune to be just another standard that's been done to death, it really is a pretty damn good song!

      @Alex 0ut-Of-Magic Alex, I really enjoyed your little excursus. Nevertheless, I feel the urge to tell you that- in my opinion- doubting everything is equally as dangerous and stupid as believing everything. Truth doesn't have to be an everlasting entity in order to be helpful (and true) for us humans. What you write about Einstein suggests to me, that you maybe read a book about him (which is cool and all) but are not a physician yourself and didn't really study his works. He certainly was no-one who "made up shit" and "did not have to prove it" as you say, but a very conscientious and wholehearted scientist. That he was capable of realising the limitations of his theory (and mind) should not be used as an argument against those theories or himself. We should always doubt science, but I would be a bit cautious, otherwise you might end like this dude here ;)

    @DagaanGalakticos 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    What an original presentation. Discover the sounds of chords before naming them and getting all intellectual about the names. Music is sound, not a bunch of letters and numbers. I'm a long time player of many styles and try as I might I just can't get theory in such a way as to be useful. I've discovered that if you take any chord and add or subtract a note or two, you can come up with a coloration that can spark ideas that inspire you. One thing I've discovered is that diminished chords, on the guitar, are the same chord inverted as you go up or down four frets. If you jump out of that pattern and land anywhere - on a major or minor chord, you begin to hear how the different inversions are actually different chords, not merely a higher or lower repetition of the first diminished chord. If you then alter a diminished chord by a note or two, you create a shifted resolution or coloration and begin to see how to paint with chords in broad strokes.
