I'm a beginner at playing the guitar even I know many jazz chords, I don't really understand where and how to use certain chords when a jazz song. My soloing technique is a very poor at jazz- I have followed a lot of people on KZfaq in order to get the basics of jazz, but all of them give more complex explanation for starters. Fortunately for me, I came across your channel and subscribed to it. How really want to play jazz, but I need a mentor who will give the clear understanding of jazz music on the guitar. Unfortunately in my country, Liberia, we don't have jazz guitarists and many don't really pay attention to it because our culture isn't really used to it.

Glad that you are finding the channel helpful Bob! This is a bit of a more “advanced” concept video. But this one could be helpful for you: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aduAabecmazWn6c.html

Hi, great lesson ! . How come Ab min7 can subtitue Cm7 in step 4 ? would you mind explain this. Many thanks, and greetings from Indonesia.

@Learnjazzstandards Жыл бұрын

Hey Antok! As I mentioned in the video level for isn’t about substituting chords like the other levels, it’s about re-composition. So you Abmin7 isn’t a substitute for Cmin7, it’s just a new chord that fits with the melody

So amazing reharmonization . But I still don’t know why the Bbmaj7 and Ebmaj7 can change to Bmin7 E7 Bbmin7 Eb7😢

fantastic material, i wish i found it earlier when studying jazz. May i have one question, concerning reharm, i couldnt find answer anywhere else ? I found in jazz blues very often IV7 is substituded with #ivdim7 chords, i cannot find reasonable way how to explain this nice replacement which leads so nicely back to Imaj7. any article online or whatever is highly appreciated. cheers and big sub / like

@Learnjazzstandards Жыл бұрын

Hey Piotr, glad you enjoyed it! So #iv isn’t a replacement of the IV in blues, but is often a chord added after the IV in bar 6. It is kind of a strange on, but essentially it’s a passing diminished chord. It works to give a resolution sound because it has a mix of chord tones that both relate to the I and are non-related. So with proper voice leading it can give that tension and resolution sound

Ok - I’ve watched a similar viideo this and was able to apply some of the techniques to ‘Streets of London’…. but this one lost lost me after level 2. I think it might be possible to go a little bit far at times….

@Learnjazzstandards Жыл бұрын

Hey Rebecca, thanks for watching! Level 2 definitely is a bit more interesting sounding, but if you understand tritone substitution in Level 1, keep in mind that it’s the exact same concept in Level 2 only you are doing a tritone sub of ii and not V. These are just fun to explore, and not necessarily an optimal result depending on taste

De-harmonization of a really great tune.

@alexkleftodimossmith2918 Жыл бұрын

For real lmao. That backing track was awful.

@Learnjazzstandards Жыл бұрын

Hey Matt! The intention of reharmonization isn’t to suggest that a great tune like Autumn Leaves needs changing. It’s just exploring other options, and seeing what can be done. And any of this harmonic principles can be applied to improv, or help you learn how to compose better.

@@Learnjazzstandards Hi, hope the above comment was not offensive, I thought the video was great and highly educational, and love your personality and teaching style by the way. About the backing track tho, the tone of the piano seems so tacky (to me at least) especially compared to beautiful tone of your guitar. As an educator, have you thought about making your own backing track using your guitar? Whenever you’d play the chords yourself they would sound amazing despite the spicyness, but the piano backing track had a completely different effect on me. Is the idea behind the backing track that it’s better to hear a differrrnt instrument comping as opposed to the instrument of the melody?
