i dont mean to be off topic but does anybody know of a trick to get back into an instagram account?? I stupidly lost the login password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me!
Hi Sandra, thank you for this awesome channel! I’ve been playing for 3 years now and just found your channel. I’m going to study your channel for the next 3 years!!!
Just seeing this for the first time, Sandra! Excellent job explaining this topic. Thank you for playing the examples and not just explaining it. It helped me significantly.
I've played over 50 years and I'm always circling back to basics to keep fresh. This was an excellent lesson and study on comping a jazz standard. I just discovered you and I hope to learn more form you your excellent videos.
Thank you Sandra for having the heart of a teacher. Your education and talent, combined with your patience, make you the best jazz guitar instructor. Thank you for all the time and effort that you invest in the preparation of so many excellent tutorials.
You have a real sense of teaching, Sandra. I appreciate your lesson very much. Coming from blues guitar I felt pretty lost how to get started with Jazz guitar. I looked around everywhere but it didn’t « click » for me. But with your lesson you give me a helpful framework for a very good start: the four comping rhythms, how to combine them, a few beautiful Jazz guitar chords and how to play over the A section of Autumn Leaves. And your explanations are so useful. I arrived to start. Thank you so much.
This lesson is incredible ! I’ve been playing guitar for a few years and LOVE jazz, just didn’t know where to start. Here we are, and I’m feeling good ❤️🙏🏽
I started guitar in ‘65. Played pop/rock (garage/party) band with some passion ‘70-‘90. Took a few decades off. Have started playing again in the last few years in a oldies band. I was doing pretty well teaching more than learning from my band mates. At 70 I thought I would like to move into jazz/blues. I have been following you and others. It’s been following you for awhile. I have purchased a package.
Sorry for the premature ending of previous msg. I’m having a hard time finding a jumpstart in to jazz. I clearly understand II V 1 or any other pattern but not familiar with jazz phrasing. I’m picking up a bit but… I like you style (and small hands😀 like mine) and large library of lessons. It’s large but I can’t find a “beginning” for me. I do need to have starting point (lesson) and progression of development. I can imagine there are others in my situation. I have purchased a package from you but there are places that assume I know more and places that are more basic than I need. Is I possible to put your vast library of lessons in order? Hit and miss utube selections are frustrating. Bill
Hi William, there is no order on RU-vid, that's what courses are for. I'm working on one. I have a jazz phrasing lesson here on youtube. Just type " jazz phrasing guitarversum" into the youtube search box. Other than that, I give Skype lessons. If you're interested just contact me to the email given in my channel info, or go to guitarversum.com and look for contact.
Very nice lesson! I just wanted to point out something: what you (and other musicians also) called Latin, it's actually Bossa Nova, and they do also have tons of variations going on! I do recommend a lot Rosa Passos, her playing is amazing, so rich in terms of rhythm. Greetings!
Really helpful lesson. I've been struggling to get going with this for ages. You're a great teacher. I've pledged you on Patreon and look forward to getting better at Jazz guitar. Thanks
Well, one one hand I have found my all time favourite jazz guitar teacher...on the other hand I have to fight those hard feelings about desperately trying no to fall I love with you. That´s the YING-YANG of life...perfect equilibrium. Don´t worry, despite belonging to most stupid gender of humanoids out there I´ll be able to cope with it...sigh.
Thank you for this very well explained lesson. Just what I needed. I've put together a bunch of 1625 progressions I figured out on a keyboard and, thanks to this lesson, I'm going to try and make them happen on my acoustic guitar. Oddly, I'm finding the right hand technique more difficult than the fretting atm. Anyway, simple question: Can anyone reading this recommend an affordable (sub £500) electric guitar for jazz/R&B comping?
When I was a child I was on student exchange multiple tumes all over Englands east side. I made it up to Durham, but unfortunately nevwr crossed the border to Scotland. I love the omd castles and wish I can go there one time. Traveling is really difficult for mw, since I suffer from panick attacks as soon as I leave my known places here. But one can dream. One day I'll make it there.
Ok , this helps with my impossible. I hear the rhythms pridectably to the beat, but applying them to my guitar playing was difficult. little cooperation in movement. Is this normal with some of us? I need to loop it it very slow and practice, but I think this lesson is very helpful in application. I'm going very slow at it though.
Looky, I made a video on jazz gear recommendations and amp settings: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--6Tylw4gf0E.html I think most of what I recommended is available as left handed version too, but I'm not absolutly sure.
The knowledge is revealed. Showing how the comping guitar meshs with the drummer is like passing on wisdom. This makes practicing chord progressions much more interesting. How would the first rhythm "click" sound be played on an acoustic instrument?
Mine is a Howard Roberts by Gibson. Its smaller than a Heritage 575 or Gibson 175. I have a video up her, wher I showcase my equipment and amp setings. Check it out. Type "Jazz Guitar Gear Recommendations and amp settings Guitarversum" in the RU-vid search box.
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman thank you I will look your video up,,,the 575 is still the best guitar I have,,, have not tried Gibson, too rich for my blood and skill level,,,ciao,,,ps,,I am not sure if the price difference is worth it,,,nor would I have the skill to be a proper judge,,,have been buying guitars since 1962 and I. Cannot justify the Gibson prices,,and even Heritage is now becoming out of reach for most people who love the instrument, but, are not professionals..
YES! Great. But my Q: What do you use for background sounds? You start it with footpedal. Can share the secret, of where can I find your used gear? Or what do you recommend for (intermediate) Jazzbeginners..
I created Backing Tracks beforehand, I pedal invokved firing recording. But when I practice alone I use the Digitech Trii+. It's a looper plus drums and bass comping. Can highly recommend.
Hi Sandra.....I love all of your vids, and I have a question......have you ever done one on the song Nature Boy by Eden Abez ? I know that it’s a fairly quick, simple song, but am having trouble figuring out the best fingering for some of the chords....thanks for all you do. I looked on your page but didn’t see it.
I haven't done a toroidal on that I've yet, but I have a performance video of it on YT. Just search for Nature Boy Sandra Sherman and Puddles Pity Party.
Question: In the first example, the second beat goes on 2-AND. I heard that in jazz we need to use sort of "shuffle" swing rhythm which means that group of two 1\8th notes should be reviewed as a triplet of 1\4th and 1\8th. Does this mean that in the comping in this example I need to put the "2-AND" accent actually a bit later than AND ? (on the 1\8th note of the triplet)
There are a lot of great guitar player lot of great teachers but not all are true teachers with the gift of teaching . You are a true gifted teacher and I thank you for your tutorials....Roland
Sandra thank you so much I love all your videos you’re such a good teacher two quick questions if I may. For your right-hand middle and ring finger are they only playing the strings where we are holding down a note or are we including the open strings as well? I guess it depends on whether the open string is a chord tone? Also, does this hybrid picking style work with chord inversions where the root is not on one of the bass strings? Thank you so much
Hi Heiko, könnt sein dass wir uns kennen von früheren Sessions? Ich wohne in Wien. War gerade beim Alex Sonnleitner, der hat mir erzählt, dass du gerade irgendwas bei ihm hast machen lassen.
Davvero brava,magari in Italia ci fossero maestri cosi semplici ,concisi e precisi....complimenti. Io non conosco la musica ma grazie a te mi sto appassionando al jazz e lo sto improvvisando divertrndomi.....grazie.
I need to learn hybrid picking! I guess it’s just a matter of practice. I started with bossa nova and nylon strings so first mission will be to buy a pick.
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman it is a great compliment: “Excellent material, thank you for sharing it!! This type of material, and so well explained is hardly found on RU-vid”
It's really helpful, maybe I could adapt its rhythm pattern to my jazz guitar chord progression book? Few month ago I bought it and I am just practicing sometimes those I type chords..Maj7 stuffs. And I think in rhythm playing left hand's control is important..String pressure. By the way I love your guitar sound. So warm and round!
You can applay these rhythms to any jazz standard, that has a swing feeling (as most songs have, except for Latin songs). I have a video on my guitar sound. it's calles "Jazz guitar gear recommendations and amp settings". Check it out! A lot of people find it very helpful.
This is *so* interesting! The insight regarding keeping beats 2 & 4 on the low-down so the high hats right through the mix is something I would not have thought about. So thank you! What a great lesson. Many great ideas to incorporate: jazz comping is much different than playing rhythm guitar in a classic rock setting. I'm grateful you explained all of the important things we need to keep in mind. And I love the syncopation. That really makes what you played more interesting than just playing the same rhythm throughout. Thank you!
To help me memorize, I represented the four patterns as below (one should play the beats between parentheses). Is that correct? (1) & 2 (&) 3 & 4 & 1 (&) 2 & (3) & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 (&) | 1 & 2 & 3 (&) 4 & (1) (&) 2 (&) 3 & 4 & (only three beats rhythm)
Looky, I have a video up where I show my equipment (inclzding strings!) and give gear advice. It's called "Jazz Guitar Gear Recommendations and amp settings": ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--6Tylw4gf0E.html Enjoy the jazz ride!

Like many of the other guitar players i am searching for a solid entry to the jazz world and a jazz approach and i can warmly Recommmend Mrs Sherman, she is amazing....love her🥰
Hi Sandra im from argentina, i love your lessons, very usefull. Do you please do a video of my all time love song, cry me a river, London/Berney Kessell chord melody??? Sorry for my english, thanks again bye!!!
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman Ok, but i heard a foot switch click in the video. so maybe a foot switch plugged into ...what? just asking cause i have a boss eband but that plays rhythm guitar as well as drums and bass. just wondering. thanks.
Eine Lehrperson mit Kompetenz der man mit Freude gerne folgt. Als Jazz Novize hat dieses Video mich angenehmerweise bestätigt mein Ziel weiter zu verfolgen. Hab viel gelernt. Chapeau und viele Grüße aus der schönen Hauptstadt Berlin.
Hello I have worked my guitar for more than 40 years. Every days, without significant results on my opinion. Even if I think I play well, I discover your lesson. You simply open my eyes on new horizons. You are the only one to explain simply what I try to catch for years and it's easy... you cannot believe how I can thank you you for your help. Now, I have just to work with your advises. Sorry for my bad English, I am French Really thank you for this new ways Francois
