Just learning the chords is not enough to really play something that sounds like real Jazz Guitar Comping. In this video, I am going to take an easy Jazz Standard, Perdido, and then show you how you can start with basic chords and step by step develop your comping, improvise with the chords, and not just play some chord grips and hope it sounds ok.

Do you ever put on a metronome on 2&4 and comp a song? Check out some essential Bossa Nova and Samba patterns: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-E8HM4RewNII.html

@alvarosainero8117 2 года назад

I got the habit to practice with the metronome in 2&4 since it was taught to me by a great jazz teacher years ago. since then, I only practice in 2&4. I love it

@joepalooka2145 Год назад

I personally find jazz comping to be one of the most difficult and challenging things about jazz guitar. It's like an art form in itself which gets into the most advanced knowledge of chord voicings and rhythm. For learning players like myself who don't have a band to play with, the Jamie Aebersold book "Maiden Voyage Guitar Voicings" is one of the best books I've found for learning comping.

Thanks Jens. I learned to comp by trying to copy my father who was a pianist. And by trying to play what I heard on records. It was really difficult! I am so glad that you have developed this systematic approach. I wish I had had access to this information 40 years ago.

Excellent lesson! Thank you Jens for doing this for us. It is much appreciated! Also, I know it is a lot of extra work, but I like that you put on the screen the --- "guitar grids." I still use guitar grids because it helps me take some quick notes of certain chords I may not be familiar with. Thanks again Jens!

@yortukfenstruk 3 года назад

Thanks Jens! This is exactly what I need. There are thousands of lessons on RU-vid about theory, chords, scales, etc. However, there are almost no playing lessons like this. All that other stuff is nice once you can play through the lead sheet from top to bottom. This helps, a lot. Please keep producing videos just like this one for different standards. It would help me get over the hump from practicing to playing, and I'm sure it would help a lot of other folks, too.

@PIANOSTYLE100 3 года назад

Noticed recently ..need to know instantly every place on the fret board. I know many identities on the guitar..But I noticed that this was slowing me down. It was like the day I decided to learn instantly recite all 12 major scales. That has helped me tremendously. Then I realized I prefer some songs on the piano in certain keys. That has helped me in keys with difficult progressions. Only keys that challenge me. B and F#. If I instantly can point to any note on the guitar and see the chord for what it is and possibilities. I plan to start today and work on it. .Ill start in the first 5 frets and work up from there.Nice video..Im working my way through it.

@mcnallyaar Год назад

Thanks so much for your invaluable videos! I am wanting to be able to learn to comp for myself as a singer to play jazz standards and show tunes (same thing and also different) to gig solo and in small ensembles. I of course know that I will benefit from the advice about reading music and playing scales and solos, as this will help me better understand the board and how the patterns relate melodically and harmonically within the changes. That said, is there an approach to comping that makes more sense to myself as a singer, or would you recommend I approach it the same way as I would approach comping with an ensemble? Thanks for your feedback, and I'm open to anyone's thoughts, not just Jens!

@JensLarsen Год назад

In the end, comping is comping, whether you are comping your self or someone else, and it will be better to have a basic understanding of the chords, the song and the music so that you can actually support yourself singing instead of trying to guess what goes where.
