Danke - This is exactly how concise and useful a jazz guitar lesson should be!! I have a bought a couple of your lesson because they're so directly applicable. There are some good players, but teaching is a rare gift. I have watched great musicians, famous guys teach badly very often. Crazy world!

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Thanks so much for your kind words. I graduaded in jazz guitar pedagogy and was always made my own teaching concepts. It's basically about putting myself in the student's shoes. Some teachers forget how it felt when they started out. But also there's that limited time you have in videos. I know, that nobody watches a 60 minutes video. So I need to pack everything into 20 minutes. Not always easy.

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Oh, thank you so much for this wonderful compliment! ❤️ Playing only 8th notes in the beginning is perfectly fine. It keeps you from cheating. It is actually a great exercise and I did that for the first year in the conservatory only. Later you can learn how to omit notes and phrase correctly. Btw, I have a lesson on phrasing up here on YT!

[@victorformosa228]

Thanks Sandra. I will have a lot of fun improvising with those arpeggios as well as going through those chords.

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Try to practice by moving each position horizontaly, transposing through the cycle of fourths. Once you have all positions worked out horizontally, you can practice vertically, which means stay in an area and change the key. This will give you a new pattern each time you're changing the key. Best practice ever.

[@victorformosa228]

[@GregTorresGuitar]

I love the 7b9 concept opens up a lot of doors, you can also move back one semi tone from the root of the parent key of the five chord to find the diminished arpeggio just another way to find it

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

That would give you the 3rd of the 7b9 chord. Never looked at it that way. I always say, however you memorize things is up to you. But you got to have some kind of reference to either the chord or the root, in order to move it around the neck to other keys.

I love the sound of the diminished triad when going from a I chord to a ii chord. Play the diminished arpeggio a half step above the root of the I chord.

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

In the key of C maj 7 that would be a C#dim. That equals the A7b9 chord and that's the V of the next chord, Dm7. That's why it works so well.

[@calcal5135]

@@GuitarversumSandraSherman I am not happy with your explanation but perhaps it is because I am missing something in my general understanding of music theory and cadences. Here’s why I am not happy with your explanation. The V of the next chord doesn’t always sound good. For example if you wanted a transition chord between the ii and V of a ii-V-I. A II7 is the V of the V but sounds awful. More concretely if you wanted to transition from a Dm7 to G7 a D7, which is the V relative to the G7, sounds awful (to me) as a transition chord. If I am missing something please help. Every new thing I learn is a gold mine to me. Thanks for your fantastic videos!

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Well, first of, that depends on Eldar you like our not. But a V can always resolve to its I chord. It will always have that tendency and that's why it's usually pleasing to the ear. There's plenty of jazz standards that have : Dm7 - D7 - G7 - Cmaj7. About the example with the C#dim chord, the A7b9 INCLUDES the C#dim chord. So there's no, I don't like it here. If you like C to C#dim to Dm7, you do like C to A7b9 to Dm7, because it's the same thing 😉. I just explained you, why it works so well.

[@calcal5135]

@@GuitarversumSandraSherman I like both the A7b9 and C#dim. I especially like them as melodic improvisational material when play a Cmaj7 to Dm7. We are in total agreement there. What I don’t like is the Dm7 D7 G7 as melodic improvisational material. But who knows, maybe you can convince me. So often the difference between something sound good and bad depends upon emphasis. Could be a great topic for a video! You make the best. In general I am presently very interested in discovering all sorts of transition chords that can be used to build melodic ideas around. I like just getting them in my ear and calling upon that sound when my mood takes me there. Perhaps you could do a video on all sorts of transition chords in various progressions. That would be soooo cool.

No.

[@chau560902]

[@jeffdrazin5514]

I'm a little confused. is the dim chord you're playing actually a dim 7? The 7th is double flatted, turning it into an F for Abdim7. In the Ab half diminished chord, the 7th is F# (single flatted). Am I wrong? And I've read the chords to solo over the G7b9 is the half diminished arpeggio.

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

That's all wrong. If you use a ø chord, it makes it a G9, not b9. The (fully) dim chord majes it a G7b9. There is no f# in it. But you can purchase the lesson to clarify things. The link is in the info box below the video.
