This lesson helped me (typically a blues player) break into some jazz sounds! I'll work on the chords, then pop them onto my looper and practice away at the pentatonic which I already know ... but will augment with those jazzy passing tones you taught. Great lesson!
It's still a life long study to master Jazz. When you consider the work of the likes of Pat Methany or Wes Montgomery et al being able to play with such fluidity, intricacy and speed can't be covered in 10 minutes. Would you agree a good start is to not lift your fingers very far off the strings, thereby allowing smaller solo note values to fit into a bar?
13thAMG You are right, of course, but I think this lesson has the great merit of making the basic jazz idiom accessible without bogging down apprentice guitarist in minutiae, if only to get them to feel the possibilities and expand their playing horizons...I have been playing guitar for about 1.5 years and I can't even tell you how many hours it took me just to get through part 1 of Mikey Bakers little "Complete jazz guitar", vol.1. And I am just an older guy with no serious musical ambition (or talent). I'm sure this type of knowledge will serve to motivate people who might quit the study of such books as without tricks like these, either musical ambition or a natural compulsive desire to learn seems necessary to get through to the other side, wouldn't you say?
This is true but utterly obvious. Nothing about the video suggests that one would be an expert in 10 minutes. It is clearly an invitation to give the genre a try, and not to be intimidated by the mystique of the form.
Jazz in itself isn't that hard: for the Traditional sound make the rhythm swing and focus on the blues, for the Gypsy sound articulate the chords and arpeggios, and you should have a jazzy sound that will wow most people. Bebop on the other hand...
Hi Andrew, cheers for all your great lessons. I am confused about the A7 been classed as secondary dominant. As I understand, if it was used as secondary dominat to the iim chord iin C major, t should be Am7 not A7. The A7 works well in the progression but I don't know how you got there. Are secondary dominants not just dominants of other diatonic chords in the key. Help.. Cheers
Paul Layfield it’s just a common jazz chord progression, it’s a chord that isn’t in c major but it’s still close enough the minor third of A is just swapped for a major third making it an A7. You can say it’s just borrowing a note from different key or mode from A. Plus an A7 resolves well with a D because that’s the dominant chord in the D major scale (although I do understand he used a Dmin7, it still sounds like a nice resolve). I hope it’s not too confusing what I just said haha
phatman811 cheers for the reply. My understanding of a secondary dominant is using the Vth chord of any other chord in that key. So in C the ii chord is Dm so using a secondary dominant in place of the 2 chord would be the Vth chord in Dm which is Am. Etc. I will investigate this more. Cheers again

basically he put a minor 3rd on a major pentatonic scale and thats it. ¬¬
