Instant infinite noodles! Thanks for all fun to explore including the sheet

I've been playing "guitar" for years, but jazz is a whole other animal. Thanks, Andy for taking the time to explain things so well.

This is definitely, without a doubt, the first place I would send anyone who wanted to get started with jazz chords. All there in ten minutes. No fluff, no guff.

This is just the kind of intro I was looking for as an intermediate guitarist new to jazz. Thanks! Here we gooooooooo.

Hey Andy, these lessons are so helpful ,thanks for taking the time to do these for beginners like me.

Thanks Andy

Great tone on your instrument.. i usually fail tonewise, more than the chords i try to learn in jazz.. great lesson, too..

Your channel is great! Watching this particular video was like having acquired a language you can get by in, and one day someone explains some of the basic grammar. Thank you

Andy, You are an awesome instructor. Thank you. beautiful, useful, fun. re

Top Man!

This channel is a gem! So glad I found this and I hope more do for you

nice video, thanks

By far the clearest explanation I've found of Jazz chords

That's a beautiful sounding tele you're playing, Im wondering about the model type? I want to get a tele, but the models are really confusing...and I love the jazzy tone your getting.

As an 'old' guy who has played basic .....folk / blues / and some bluegrass, all my life, I have been interested in trying to learn some basic jazz over the last ( ? ) year and a half. This was an excellent lesson for people like myself. Thank you !! ( finding the string 'muting' a little tricky though ......)

This makes so much more sense 😭 I’m joining my HS jazz band and we have summer workshops, this helps me so much to get through the music we need to learn 😭 thank you 🙏 I subscribed too thanks again for the great tips

Thank you so much! Will definitely check your other courses as I like how you extract the essential while still covering everything.

Thanks! Really simple chords to get started in jazz. My nephew aged 11 is in his school jazz band and I want to teach him a few chords to help him out. This is a great help.

Always handy, your video's are always of some interest to me. Thanks

Great camera work and explanations of finger positions and deadening unused strings

Thank you for the video lesson. This may be more of understanding jazz, but when would a person choose to play a Dominant 7 instead of a major 7

Thank you for the PDF of jazz chords will be watching more of these videos great pacing and clearer demonstrations.

Great lesson. And I'm with you, one thing at a time is better. An intermediate could live wand experiment with the tools you just gave for years to come.

Good lesson! And that tele is just beautiful.

This is an extremely valuable lesson.

Excellent lesson thanks heaps!

Thanks for simplifying that mate!

Excellent lesson. Thank you!

Awesome lesson dude, I went to your website and downloaded the chord shapes, it was literally free and a simple download link. It's just one page, I printed it and taped it to my wall. Super useful, keep at it

Great lesson for beginers, very

merci beaucoup pour cette leçon

My total noob mental list to remember the five types of 7th chords, numbering off the notes in the major scale (b=flat), starting with no flats and adding one additional flat per line: major 7th: 1-3-5-7 dominant 7th (or just “7th”): 1-3-5-b7 minor 7th: 1-b3-5-b7 half diminished 7th: 1-b3-b5-b7 diminished 7th: 1-b3-b5-bb7 (Dominant 7th is written as just 7. Example: C7) (Half diminished 7th is also called minor 7th flat 5)

Didn't know Ice Man knew how to play jazz

wow thanks for this - simultaneously simple and challenging with enormous promise Really WOW - also I always love moveable shapes, opens up transposition (playing in different keys or higher or lower) which seem so much easier on guitar than piano once you have the shapes, which don't change on guitar but do on piano as you go up or down through semitones Jazz guitar always sounds so amazing that I've always thought it beyond me, and it probably is but I'll persevere at my very low-amateur levels of achievement isn't youtube GREAT , Im 58 now jesus ...never mind ... and I wish this had all benn around when I was 8 ...well an understanding that my uncle's old guitar used to unwind itself at the headset would have helped me,,,,and 17...when I bought a sunburst guitar with milk round money and tried my best, but without a digital tuner or an understanding of just how you have to get used to tuning the thing each time you use it, and during... at about 17 my parents bought me a classical guitar that held tune andI ha a teacher , Mr Stinger, funnily enough, at St Josephs Academy Blackheath (nice not be getting beaten by other teachers by then, pretty rubbish and depressing at 11)...Mr Stringer died...my guitar progress has not been blessed... B&W classical guitar book full of PIMA...useful and photos of a old white guy ina grey suit looking NOTHING LIKE what you'd want to look like, taken in the 1940's by the look of the photo...sitting very stiff, told never to put my thumb over the top...which most decent guitarists do when they want to, wrist-breaking twisting never appealed to me.... several attempts at Eagles tunes, i really am crippled when it comes to learning guitar must be the slowest learner ever.... 40 or 50 year later and I still struggle and still try and still fail - I tend to be better at showing other people than doing it myself, my boys are good..ANYWAY - one of em didnt want to have lessons anymore , me having handed him over to a teacher once he had C D E A G and some strumming under his belt. -so I had the teacher - kept me a live for a year or two while hell and rot ravaged thru the rest of my life; and NOW this - not just lessons but amazing things for the past 10 - 15 years on youtube - JustinGuitar GoldHat 3 that amazing David Bennet Piano guy with his analysis of chord progressions - I got Grade V theory at school - largely rote learning and the Music dept never had the cool of the (equally average but now ai realise very special for a sate school) sports dept.... SO: Andy - if you're still reading - I was a bit enquiring about the need for some of your muting and also the difference between a C7 and a C Dom 7 - asked Chat GPT and got this : The C7 chord and the C dominant 7 chord (C Dom 7) are both variations of the C major chord, but they have different characteristics and uses in music. The C7 chord, also known as a dominant 7th chord, is formed by combining the notes C, E, G, and B♭. It consists of the root note (C), the major third (E), the perfect fifth (G), and the minor seventh (B♭). The minor seventh (B♭) is what gives the C7 chord its dominant quality. This chord is commonly used in blues, jazz, and other genres where a strong, bluesy sound is desired. On the other hand, the C Dom 7 chord is an abbreviated notation for the same C dominant 7 chord. The "Dom" in "C Dom 7" is simply a shorthand way of indicating the dominant quality of the chord. The notes and structure of the C Dom 7 chord are identical to the C7 chord (C, E, G, and B♭). It's worth noting that the term "dominant" is often omitted in casual chord notation, and you may see just "C7" used instead of "C Dom 7." In summary, there is no difference in terms of notes and structure between the C7 chord and the C Dom 7 chord. They are essentially the same chord, with "C7" being the more common and concise way to notate it. The "Dom" in "C Dom 7" is just a way to specify the dominant quality of the chord, which is implied by default when using "C7." Thanks again for your video - kids today dont know they're born...YES you have high house prices, pollution, obesity-causing foods constant cctv and ....god let me stop this lol - but the days of being tied to a text book and a tape recorder were HARD to learn anything ...let alone the quickness of a digital tuner and new strings delivered by post via amazon etc - and Jazz Guitar with Andy as part of a giddy mix of things to get into.

Thx for all of your time and effort here.. what time on WED.- Sat. do you stream??

Just came from 5 Watt World and glad I did. Great lesson. I see the logic of these chords now much more clearly. I’m curios as to why you went from the Gibson to the Telecaster.

2:29 Why would you mute the low E string on the Cm7 when it is the exact same note as the one being played on the high E? Or is he only doing that to demonstrate the root and why it's a C and not a G? And also, suggestions for albums with Jazz guitar?

Super bravo ! Pouvez vous me dire la ref de vos cordes merci d'avance amicalement jp

Why not mention the other qualities of the chord tones? The root is important but players need to know what intervals make up a given chord. Something to consider

Superb as always. Thanks Andy. BTW, the tone on that Tele is gorgeous. Warm, fat and full. Which pups are those and which strings?

This is also a great way to warm up. I practice this one additional way. Since I always play chord melody, I practice this a little backwards. Because the melody note is almost always on the 1st string, I use this drill but play all the chords in 3rd inversion. It's all great stuff. Thanks Andy.
