Jazz Guitar Moving Bass Parts

2008 May 5

If you are just begining to learn to play jazz guitar chord changes, you’ll love this.  It is a simple four chord pattern in C major: C major 7 , A minor 7 , D minor 7 and a G 7; commonly known as a 1 6 4 5 chord pattern.  I’ve written the chords as triads, triads are three note chords.  Each chord is approached from one note (one fret) above,.

 It should have a bit of bounce in it when you play it. It’s very normal to play this sort of thing when accompanying a jazz singer or in a small group that has no bass player.
