The BEST Place To Explore Jazz Chords

What is your favorite way to explore Jazz chords and Harmony? 🙂 Here's one of mine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwPtKJVh9hY&list=PLWYuNvZPqqcE8ctKYp2SFQzJRJPZbxGTO&index=2

Cry Me a River (Barney Kessel - Julie London) is my favorite intro. When I first heard it I stopped what I was doing like, "what was that?" ... a couple days later I started studying Jazz.

I have followed and studied your techniques for years. Just wanna say that you are simply the best at sharing your deep musical insights, and your art is simply at its finest. Thank you.

Браво Маэстро! Отличная работа! Однозначно Лайк! Берегите себя! 🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯🎸🎸🎸

Have been watching your videos for years now, and that shirt is definitely your favorite --- c'mon, you can admit it. 😀

I don't play guitar, I bang a little on piano, but I found this very interesting, and easy on the ears! Beautiful sounding chord combos!

As usual.......great lesson Jens......!!!

What an incredible video, Jens!!! Bless you!

Super helpful info! Thanks!

I find to my ear, walking down thru a Augmented 5th, then into Dominant, then Diminished eventually landing the Major 7th, is a Uniquely stylistic approach to modern expressionism... Thanks for your excellent content. ~ Inertia

Perfect!

Thanks!

aaaaaaaaand tsgone. the nice weather, tsgone

10:08 Could possibly be reworked if moved up a half step, and somehow, the C# Major 7 changed to a Dominant. This could possibly prove to be rather tricky. But I might just create my own new favorite intro. One thing's for sure is that it needs the intensity turned up to 10 because the next part is really mellow. The C#7 could be a tritone substitution for the C Lydian of G minor. It doesn't hurt to experiment.

Hi Jens. Thanks for your channel and I have learned a lot for chord melody. Many years ago I walked into a guitar store and a man was playing a 7 string guitar and he was playing what I found out to be chord melody and the song was a country song called Sioux City Sue. It's a pretty upbeat song but it really impressed me because it was one guitar and it sounded great. At 23 years old I was used to strumming chords only! Life and work gets in the way and I was never really able to pursue chord melody until the last year. I was curious about one thing. It seems that chord melody is usually associated with jazz songs and I was wondering why you don't see really very many lessons on rock, country or pop songs? I guess that man that day 40 years ago really had an impression on me! I was just curious. Thank you.

Some ideas: contrary motion intro, intro with the fewest possible notes, pedal tone in the lowest voice, only one position.

My basement, peavey 5150, distortion cranked all the way up. I love playing jazz, but nothing beats the feeling of a disqustingly mean riff/solo

I don't understand much of this but I can nick all the chords.

I could argue the Bb7 as a tritone sub, but that misses the point, doesn’t it? The point being to hear a different function. (?)
