Thanks Jared Very nice explanation Didn't understand much... but yes.

[@YlwmY888]

Thank you. Beautiful explanation... But when and how to use them

[@TruthGuitar]

Dude! There is new generation of guitar teachers on KZbin...I very much believe you are one of those in this generation. A+ Quality!

[@soundguitar]

That's very kind of you Joel! Thank you 🙏 I think you're up there as well! Your recent video about your "family troubles" was so funny and well executed. You totally had me! I'm inspired to infuse a little more of a personal and light hearted touch to my stuff. Cheers and keep up the good work!

[@JesusLordOfLords455]

Very professional and delivered in a calm manner 👍🙂

[@zaldyabitria3249]

CM9 or Cadd9th or Csus2 or Csuspended 2nd are the same.

[@wagohowardmusic]

Agreed, actual vocab!

[@Rainmaker40Bsc]

I wish i had seen this 10 years. This is the best explanation of extensions i jave ever seen

[@soundguitar]

Glad you liked it, thanks so much! :) -Jared ~~

[@isiwan4853]

Let me tell you right now that you are better than every other guitar teacher on KZbin. I've been watching guitar chord lessons for ages and never really understood this till now.

[@friendlyattack1181]

I had lessons as a teenager and undiagnosed dyslexia and just being a teenager stopped me at grade 5. I'm older now and thinking I have the mental capacity to get my head around it. This is the first video, nice and clear straightforward where I'm actually getting it, thanks

[@sln777]

You are a brilliant teacher. I'm subscribing now.

[@Will-sh8kl]

You do a really good job of explaining those little details that are so important, and often basic. Other instructors seem to gloss over things and move along while leaving me in the dust. Thanks dude!

[@soundguitar]

I really appreciate that! Glad your found the video helpful :) cheers, -Jared

[@chafrewilcha]

You are an excellent teacher! There are so many guitar instructional teachers online as you know, but your style is clear, concise, you explain very well what you perform all of your examples. And a great added plus are your charts (whether free or not). Anybody out there should donate to your cause for the time and effort you put into your free material, for sure. Again, I really enjoy your teaching style, keep up the good work.

[@kubricksghost6058]

Your patience and sharpness of mind gives me hope. Thanks

[@stuartarnold4495]

Thanks Jared for this, plenty of straight forward information. Easy to follow and keep up with your tempo.

[@soundguitar]

Glad you liked it, Stuart. Thanks so much!

[@tonychappel4185]

I like how you break things into digestible chunks much easier to learn rather than as one big video. Thanks so much.

[@kpmtwo]

This is the best I've *ever* heard chord names explained. You crushed this, dude. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@soundguitar]

Thanks so much, Kenneth!! :) ~~ Jared

[@charlescamiel7082]

These lesson are working for me. Short and sweet, as these lessons are packed with a LOT of information. Thanks for all you do for us budding jazz guitarists!

[@nhojyakcam]

Exceedingly cool how the example chords ring while Jared speaks further about them. Skillful editing. Valuable lessons, disarmingly simple presentation :)

[@soundguitar]

Haha, cool! You're the first person to point that out about the editing :) Glad you liked the lesson! cheers, -Jared

[@mhedderl]

Best explanation I’ve ever heard. Wish I heard this a long time ago. Would have saved me so much time and heartache learning extensions.

[@theogonepieceguy]

You explained this concept to me in just 10 mins i struglled eith extended chords alot and u really helped me now i wait to have fun and play around with these

[@ОлегМалков-в1е]

Спасибо, Джаред! Для меня твой канал как энциклопедия! В ней всегда можно найти всё что нужно!

[@johricpea]

Nice and direct explanation. The lesson is about the right length. Looking forward to the next lesson on how to use them. Thanks Jared.

[@Landyman87]

Excellent video, man. I've been trying googling extensions the last couple of days, could've just come here. Subbed.

[@RichRobinson]

Solid instruction. Clearly explained. Concise (my favourite!). Thank you Jared!

[@nyinyi3029]

You are one of the best .You can enlighten even someone who doesn't understand linguistics. Thanks as always for the most basic and systematic presentations.

[@ChowdMusic]

A nice concise explanation - Great lesson! Something etI really like about your lessons is the lack of irritating preamble at the beginning that seems to bog-down so many YT videos. You get straight to the point and maintain that economy throughout. Keep em coming, mate. Great work.

[@soundguitar]

haha, I think I used to ramble a TON in my earlier videos, and because of that I really started working on it and trying to be conscious of it. It's great to hear that that effort is noticed and appreciated. Thanks so much!!

[@andrew6889-p5c]

Amazing clarity. Doing it in easy to digest pieces is better. There are enough ideas for one lesson. People can always watch the next video if they want more.

[@soundguitar]

Thanks so much for the feedback, Andrew! That's super helpful to hear. Cheers, -Jared

[@LuvhandleR]

Great lesson! I really enjoy the short format,it makes it easier to go to the exact lesson for the exact info the student may need. Thanks for your effort making these video lessons.

[@soundguitar]

You're very welcome! Thanks for the positive feedback! :) -Jared

[@Dperezer]

Excellent video! You quickly and clearly demystified a topic that’s caused me so much confusion.

[@Tradcraft1692]

Thanks Jared! This video along with the previous and subsequent lessons have helped me to understand this subject more than anything I’ve come across. Fantastic!

[@inhumandestroyer]

Yo man i just have to say your videos are the best i've ever seen on youtube for teaching guitar. You've got a video for every question I have and you explain stuff so we, you never leave me more confused (which is often what I've found many youtube videos doing). Keep doing what you're doing man.

[@adamaba1135]

Thx Santa C. for this Teacher❤❤❤

[@gentGTR]

More useful than a lot of the reading I've done over the years. Thanks!

[@soundguitar]

Glad to hear that! Thanks ~~ Jared

[@Anunakipower]

Absolutely very good explanation. Great teacher!

[@dandilion62]

Thank you Thank you thank you!!! You're a great teacher!

[@ronaldhuiskamp2176]

Really like your approach and way of explaining. Many thanks!

[@dennisr.gidensr.7726]

Excellent instruction..... keeping breaking it down in small segments.....

[@soundguitar]

Thanks! glad it was helpful

[@carltonhicks6052]

It’s great to divide this type of subject matter up into smaller lessons. I finally able to understand the concept after years of avoiding the subject all together because it can quickly become overwhelming and frustrating to learn.

[@guitartris8455]

Supper well put! Great teaching man!!

[@soundguitar]

Thanks, Tris!!

[@badgamer6114]

Hi Jared, thankyou starting to understand voicings, gr8 video....

[@pucek365]

Sir, you really are amazing at this, please keep up these videos for as long as possible. Subscribed at first video!

[@soundguitar]

Thanks for the sub! I'll keep them coming!! :) -Jared

[@wadebrown5663]

No, definitely keep theory videos separate from practical or application videos. But it would be nice if you mark them as such. That way those of us already familiar with theory (former music majors, for instance) can skip preschool and get right into the application without having to sit through really basic stuff we already know. I'm a long time musician but just getting into jazz comping and only want to know how the pros make it sounds so good. But thanks for taking the time to provide such detailed videos. That's certainly needed and appreciated.

[@soundguitar]

That's super helpful. Thanks for the feedback!! :) -Jared

[@caroljung815]

Thank you again for great explanations. So appreciated!

[@24thejojo]

Love this!!! So happen to understand the term "tertiary chords" now!!

[@andrewhahn3455]

Just watching this to run through with my kids, but dang this was concise and clear! Thank you as always!

[@jasondonovan-oo3dx]

Excellent explanation!

[@colinohare]

Came at me a bit fast but I get the info and can slow things down by playing parts till they stick. So I'm book marking this and I've subscribed coz you tell in a no nonsense fashion and I appreciate it. Thank you .

[@dizzyterminator8834]

your videos are really helpful.Thank you sir

[@dadjacobs8977]

@Jared. I just stumble across your videos and I subscribed. I'm a good guitarist, but I've never really ventured into jazz, though I'm a massive jazz fan. I found some Christmas jazz guitar transcripts of Xmas songs that I thought would be fun to play for the holiday season. But damn, these chords are almost impossible to switch between. Can you do a video on how the hell to switch between all these crazy jazz chord shapes? I can do it, but I usually takes 10 seconds between each chord haha. Jazz score shapes are so much different than rock and classical guitar shapes. I'd love to see a video on that, That's all I want for Christmas.

[@hitesh_blues2353]

This is so helpful! Thank you very much, Jared :) a conceptually strong lesson with beautiful extended chords demos. And it is very generous of you to share the "chords with color" PDF for free. That thing is a gold mine!! Just subscribed to your channel and looking forward to watching more of your amazing guitar lessons :)

Hi Drew. Thanks for hopping over to my channel from Reddit. Haha, absolutely! I will be riding it in a future video for sure. Saving it for a fun milestone celebration video. Thanks for asking :) -Jared

[@edgardoatedio8883]

Thanks s million Jared 💯👍 sharing music knowledge.

[@gitarrezeit2184]

Again very useful, great lesson! Thanks for sharing, thanks for your free PDF charts! Love your style of teaching! 🤗

[@rogerbrobst5668]

Thanks so much for sharing your immense knowledge of music. It's like you have 2 or 3 lifetimes of wisdom. I've been noodling on guitar for over 40 years and am not even close to your level of expertise. I can now finally slowly figure out by ear some songs,3 and a half months, for Buckethead "Reaching ", too long. is there anything that can be done to enhance ear training? Thanks so much for kindly taking time to answer questions. Appreciated greatly. Thank you.

[@GaryManning-m3n]

Yes there is a new way to play...I like this lesson...I saw a vId on never use Barre chords ...its old school. ...guy says easier way to sound more musical by staying on a different openly fretted position more often then Barre... says pros rarely use a partial or ....never using index to barre but wrapping thumb I get it but??? Really. How should I be getting into this? Extending ? Or ? Could this un rut my playing.?

[@user-dnf83n0s8sg9u]

I guess just focus on keeping the root in there instead of dealing with the barre shape

[@aviruptheguitarist]

Very useful lesson , thank you!😊

[@soundguitar]

Glad you found it useful, thanks! :) -Jared

[@ronaldrobles8282]

Very informative 👍😃 Thank you sir.keep up the good work

[@pyschointellectual]

Great lesson, the first G major 9 chord is the shape movable also would have liked to have seen the minor version so to create chord scale, is the minor shape moveable.

[@Spartanx01]

Just subbed. Thanks for this

Thanks for the sub!

[@McDave1312]

Thanks, I always wondered what that fourth chord was that I always play in my version of in Incubus' "Drive", it's an Amin11!

[@soundguitar]

Nice!! Glad you have a directly application for that chord. one of my faves :) -Jared

To have my name in the same sentence as Rick Beato is pretty wild to hear, haha. Thanks so much! Cheers ~~ Jared

[@TheMitchellHarris]

Succinct accurate info. Only suggestion would be more context of use examples in progressions but otherwise great free lesson thanks

[@soundguitar]

Great feedback, I appreciate that. Thanks so much Mitch! :)

[@georgetebbens3524]

That was informative. I've been teaching myself guitar since I was 13 years old in 1977. I've never stopped striving to learn music theory... Hold on a second! You just played my secret Am11 chord! You scoundrel, you! I got other ones, though. Top Secret ones! You'll NEVER figure them out! (Cue maniacal laugh.) Actually, I'd be more than happy to share a few of my other chord inventions.

[@soundguitar]

HAHA, I saw you use that chord at a restaurant gig you played in the 90s and I stole it from you. Been using it ever since.

[@74kevin1]

This is real good.

[@soundguitar]

Thanks! :)

No worries, Elie! Thanks for checking out the channel! :) -Jared

[@shermanrichardson4440]

I like that you break these lessons up

[@soundguitar]

Thanks for the feedback! :)

[@asuquomoses6865]

Finally ❤

[@yensilluap]

I think it’s clearer this way not including the jazz application - it’s a lot of information to take in at once. I am familiar with all of this having played for more than 40 years, and though I read music and am familiar with the various keys, I don’t know music theory back to front so this reinforces what I know but gives me a deeper level of understanding. Thanks.

[@soundguitar]

That's great to hear, Paul! Thanks for sharing. Cheers, -Jared

[@MorningCarnival]

Can you cover extended arpeggios?

[@clarkjcccjazzimprov1483]

Jared, I find the shorter lesson format to be preferable - easier to absorb, and no need to search through a longer video to find the particular idea of interest. Thanks for the great videos. Different topic, but I hope you extend your lessons on improvisation on the classical guitar sometime - it is an underappreciated area!

[@soundguitar]

Thanks so much for the feedback! That's very helpful to hear. And thanks for the topic suggestion. Yes, I'd love to talk about improvisation on classical guitar more. I did one video on it so far: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmW1qJqtmMqBsNk. And I'm planning on doing maybe a short series in the future.

[@nobones3297]

Hi Jared. I have a question about the Emaj13(#11) chord that you demonstrate. Why is that called a 13th, when there is no 13th in the chord? Oh, as to your question about short vs long lessons. I'm torn. I could go either way. It is nice having small digestible chunks of information, but at the same time I like having more to work on during the week before the next lesson.

[@soundguitar]

Oops, great catch!! The 6 in that diagram should be labeled 13 instead! Thanks for pointing that out. Good eye and attention to detail. Maybe I can pretend that that was on purpose to see if people caught it haha. :)

[@soundguitar]

And thank you for your thoughts on the lesson length! That's very helpful.

[@davenovacek6001]

@@soundguitar Hmmm. Now I'm confused. So, that 6 is still considered a 13 even though it is lower in pitch than the 7, 9 and 11? I thought that the 9, 11 and 13 extensions had to be higher in pitch to be considered 9, 11 and 13 rather than 2, 4 or 6. Can you clarify that for me?

[@soundguitar]

@@davenovacek6001 Excellent question! That's something I failed to include in the lesson explicitly but it's kind of implied when I said that IF the 1 3 5 7 roles are taken, then those notes that are 2 4 and 6 are considered the extensions versions (2, 11, 13). I should have added to it that this is the case no matter where the notes are placed. So an 11 can be the lowest note even so long as 3 is present elsewhere. If however 3 is not present then that 11 would be 4 instead. I know it's a bit confusing. I'll bring this up as a follow up point in a future video. It is common to think that extensions have to be an octave higher, but that's not the case. Hope that helps! Don't hesitate to ask for more clarification!

[@nobones3297]

​@@soundguitar Ah, OK. Got it. I did think that the extension needed to be an octave higher. Thanks for clearing that up.

[@mg-sj3ug]

A clear explanation of a messy system. Factor in inversions and what barely makes sense falls apart entirely.

[@jboy8735]

So I herd on the 11th chord you omit the 3rd could you just omit the 5 instead or is it better to omit the 3 ?

[@soundguitar]

Don't omit the 3rd as a default rule unless you want the sound of that. That would make the chord ambiguous taking away its major or minor-ness. Yes, you can omit the 5 anytime.

[@jboy8735]

Can the 5th also be taken out of 7th and minor 9th chords

[@Ministeroftwang]

Can I play chord melodies with these chords?

[@LuvhandleR]

Off topics What gauge strings are you using on your tele? I'm thinking of dedicating a tele to jazz exclusively .

[@soundguitar]

Oooh, I approve :) haha. I use 10s now, but I used 11s exclusively for many many years. The only tone difference I miss is on the top string, but the thinner strings force me to get the tone I want from the right hand, which is very possible to get it nice and warm and round with a lighter touch and the proper pick angle. So I'd use either of those options :)

[@haroldwaynejackson7880]

So, my quest is why we add #5/b5, #9/b9, #11/b11, or #13/b13. They all tend to be "blue" notes. I know they are completely optional. So I'm thinking it all has to do with the melody and nothing else? I know the dom7#9 chord is a blues approach to make the 3rd ambiguous. My explorations bring to mind "Dixie Chicken" - Little Feat. The landing chord before the tonic is a 4 dom7/m3rd(add6). Pretty much an ethnic color I must say.

[@charlesharrell8798]

Can you name this chord ? I know it's a G chord but which one specifically.It starts on the third , forth and fifth fret with an open G string. It's like an F major 7th but on the third fret. It has such a sweet sound.Thank you.

[@Aschuff22]

Just curious, would we not call this an add 4 because it’s still in the octave of the root note? I know the naming of extensions can get weird but I feel like if the note is in the same octave as the root it would be better to call it an add 4

[@kimberly4107]

rad!!!!!

[@benink5690]

Everytime I watch a video you suggest another so I stop watching that one and rinse and repeate 😆 Anyways. Thank yoi for these

[@essa15555]

hwo to play D7 9 13 chord

[@soundguitar]

That's one of my faves! Play it on the top four strings with the chord tones in this order: 3, b7, 9, 13, and leave the root out. Check out my video on "rootless voicings" to learn more about leaving the root out if that's confusing.
