Jazz Guitar Chords - Tutorial
This guitar tutorial is for players that can already play to a good basic standard.
I’ve written a guitar TAB and music notation chart that uses triads (three note chords) and have also added a simple bass part. I’ve used a common chord pattern, it consistts of.
Cmaj7 A7 D7 G7
Cmaj7 A7 D7 G7
E7 A7 D7 G7
C Eb7 D7 Db7
The last line is a series of chord substitutions for the Cmaj7 A7 D7 G7
If you study this chord chart very closely you’ll see there’s a lot to work with. There are so many variations that could be used. Often you need to call on different styles to add to your musical skillset, else all your music might end up sounding the same. This sort of playing is great if you have to accompany a singer in a jazz ballad. Once you get it inone key and see how it works, with a little thought you’ll be apply to take the basic principles I’ve used here and run with it.
