II: C7 I F7 I C7 I Gm7 C7 I
I F7 I F#dim7 I C7 I A7 I
I Dm7 I G7 I C7 A7 I Dm7 G7 :II
On the track, you will hear extensions and alterations of the basic chords - as is common in jazz.... :)
Try these scales:
C minor pentatonic scale - C Eb F G Bb (C)
C minor blues scale - C Eb F F# G Bb (C)
C major pentatonic scale - C D E G A (C)
Then....
C Mixolydian Mode: C D E F G A Bb (C) - C7 chords
C Dorian Mode: C D Eb F G A Bb (C)- F7 chords
D Harmonic Minor Scale: D E F G A Bb C# (D) - A7 Chords
D Dorian Mode: D E F G A B C (D) - Dm7 chords
G Mixolydian Mode: G A B C D E F (G) - G7 chords
D Dorian and G Mixolydian contains the same notes as C Major Scale!
C Major Scale - C D E F G A B (C)
You can also treat the A7 as a A7alt chord and use the A Altered Scale...
A Altered Scale: A Bb C C# Eb F G (A)
A Altered Scale is also known as A Super Locrian - and it's the 7th mode of the Bb Melodic Minor Scale.
Arpeggios:
C7 - C E G Bb
F7 - F A C Eb
Gm7 - G Bb D F
F#dim7 - F# A C Eb
A7 - A C# E G

[@MiguelPerez-wu3zu]

What is your set up? Amp, effects? I just bought an Epiphone ES-339 pro and it sounds amazing but I want it to sound similar to yours. Im new to jazz/blues. I play various kinds of styles but I'am now learning to play jazz & blues. Thank You! I just would like to know where to start and what I need haha.

[@QuistJam]

Was on tour at this point - was just using standard logic plugins. Roll quite a bit of tone off on your guitar, add a generous amount of reverb... the "secret" is in the touch/the fingers... play with dynamics... light touch. You can make this sound on any guitar. Was just looking at ES339 guitars... beautiful choice!!!

[@tomhodgkinson7046]

How guitars do you own?

[@musicbythebrain]

what amp and reverb. nice

[@QuistJam]

standard logic plugins at this point... On tour and in a hotel room :)

[@TheBassplayah]

There are other jazz blues cycles without the same exact cycle....excellent to spend time to but Its all the same

[@oneeyemonster3262]

modulate..dude

[@TheBassplayah]

Different keys don't begin to show all the great jazz blues swing chord progressions .....surprising to me that so many are exactly the same.....I guess I will have to post my own if I can do so much better.....lol
