🔴 What are the drop 2 jazz chord shapes in the key of C❓🎸 

Thanks Michael 🙏

You are very welcome. I remember experiencing the same confusion!

Glad it was helpful!

Hey Frank, thanks for the comment and thank you for watching 🙏

Thanks for the comment José . I’d love some of that warm 🌞 right now. Very cold over here in England!

@@jazzguitarwithandy I'm from California born and raised but I have lived in hot and beautiful l Mexico and Costa Rica. Nothing like the weather all year round here in California! I gather that you live in the UK? I have been to London! My favorite city in Europe!

@ I love California. The weather and the guitar shops! I like driving in the desert too. Yes, I’m in the South West of England. Our California is Cornwall, which is a fantastic place to unwind.

@@jazzguitarwithandy Good to know! If you ever come to NAMM or to Los Ángeles let me know!

_ Hey, thanks for the comment and question. You've got some conflicting things in what you've written. 'It is my understanding that Drop 2 meant the second note of the chord is in the bass as opposed to the root.' It is the second highest note of the chord that moves. Eg, take CEGB and the G drops. There are four inversions, so you get the root, 3rd, 5th and 7th in the bass in the different inversions. "Drop 2 chords are seventh chords that are built by dropping the second highest note of a closed position chord down one octave, making that note the bass note of the chord." - this is correct Personally, I don't find those explanations very helpful for playing drop shapes on guitar. I think for a pianist those explanations are clear as day. On the guitar I find it most helpful to think about how the shapes fall on the fretboard, this for me makes it easier to organise and remember them. For guitar the easiest way to think about the drop shapes is as follows: Drop 2: on adjacent stings (EADG, ADGB and DGBE) Drop 3: Skip a string between the bass note and 2nd voice (EDGB and AGBE) Drop 2 and 4: on string pairs (EAGB and. ADBE) Hopefully that clears things up?

Thanks for spotting that, I'll get that fixed. It is indeed a typo.

Hi Bill, I love those inversions. They really do create some beautiful sounds, although some of the fingerings are difficult. That major 6/ minor 7 relationship is a very useful thing to know. I hope you have a great Christmas with your family too. My son is already so excited for 🎄

@@jazzguitarwithandy I remember those days well when our Children were young, they are precious. Wishing you and all your family a safe and blessed Christmas!
