Just seeing this for the first time, Sandra! Excellent job explaining this topic. Thank you for playing the examples and not just explaining it. It helped me significantly.

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Hey, glad it helped you. Keep swingin 🎶 🎸

[@DavePilotCH47]

Hi Sandra, thank you for this awesome channel! I’ve been playing for 3 years now and just found your channel. I’m going to study your channel for the next 3 years!!!

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Thank you, David! I'm glad my your enjoying the tutorials. Keep swinging! 🎶 🎸

[@wjlatch]

I started guitar in ‘65. Played pop/rock (garage/party) band with some passion ‘70-‘90. Took a few decades off. Have started playing again in the last few years in a oldies band. I was doing pretty well teaching more than learning from my band mates. At 70 I thought I would like to move into jazz/blues. I have been following you and others. It’s been following you for awhile. I have purchased a package.

[@wjlatch]

Sorry for the premature ending of previous msg. I’m having a hard time finding a jumpstart in to jazz. I clearly understand II V 1 or any other pattern but not familiar with jazz phrasing. I’m picking up a bit but… I like you style (and small hands😀 like mine) and large library of lessons. It’s large but I can’t find a “beginning” for me. I do need to have starting point (lesson) and progression of development. I can imagine there are others in my situation. I have purchased a package from you but there are places that assume I know more and places that are more basic than I need. Is I possible to put your vast library of lessons in order? Hit and miss utube selections are frustrating. Bill

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Hi William, there is no order on KZbin, that's what courses are for. I'm working on one. I have a jazz phrasing lesson here on youtube. Just type " jazz phrasing guitarversum" into the youtube search box. Other than that, I give Skype lessons. If you're interested just contact me to the email given in my channel info, or go to guitarversum.com and look for contact.

[@luishiguera3995]

Thank you Sandra for having the heart of a teacher. Your education and talent, combined with your patience, make you the best jazz guitar instructor. Thank you for all the time and effort that you invest in the preparation of so many excellent tutorials.

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

My heart melts with every appreciative comment from you ❤️. Because yes, it's really a lot of work. Thank you!

[@joephillips4082]

I've played over 50 years and I'm always circling back to basics to keep fresh. This was an excellent lesson and study on comping a jazz standard. I just discovered you and I hope to learn more form you your excellent videos.

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Thanks Joe! I agree, it's always good to go back a few steps and re-check ffs like technique etc.

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Vielen Dank für die lieben Worte!

[@flockiline]

You have a real sense of teaching, Sandra. I appreciate your lesson very much. Coming from blues guitar I felt pretty lost how to get started with Jazz guitar. I looked around everywhere but it didn’t « click » for me. But with your lesson you give me a helpful framework for a very good start: the four comping rhythms, how to combine them, a few beautiful Jazz guitar chords and how to play over the A section of Autumn Leaves. And your explanations are so useful. I arrived to start. Thank you so much.

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

That's really cool! And you have the right approach 👍

[@GoodVibeTribe]

Greetings from Alabama! Thank you so much for the fantastic lessons! You are an incredible communicator!

[@BHAKTIBROPHY]

This is *so* interesting! The insight regarding keeping beats 2 & 4 on the low-down so the high hats right through the mix is something I would not have thought about. So thank you! What a great lesson. Many great ideas to incorporate: jazz comping is much different than playing rhythm guitar in a classic rock setting. I'm grateful you explained all of the important things we need to keep in mind. And I love the syncopation. That really makes what you played more interesting than just playing the same rhythm throughout. Thank you!

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Hello I have worked my guitar for more than 40 years. Every days, without significant results on my opinion. Even if I think I play well, I discover your lesson. You simply open my eyes on new horizons. You are the only one to explain simply what I try to catch for years and it's easy... you cannot believe how I can thank you you for your help.

[@ChrisJCarter]

Thanks for this lesson Sandra! I'm getting back into playing jazz standards in The Real Book. These comping patterns will be fun to practice!

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Just make them as random as possible. The only pattern you should play for longer than one bar is the basic one.

[@ChrisJCarter]

@@GuitarversumSandraSherman Ok, thanks!

[@brianp8384]

Terrific lesson. Thank you for laying this out so clearly. I had often "faked" comping instead of consciously and deliberately laying down the rhythm.

I'm glad I was able to help you! Keep swinging! 🎶 ❤️

[@MoaEdmundsGuevara]

Very nice lesson! I just wanted to point out something: what you (and other musicians also) called Latin, it's actually Bossa Nova, and they do also have tons of variations going on! I do recommend a lot Rosa Passos, her playing is amazing, so rich in terms of rhythm. Greetings!

[@cesarolavo]

That's so true. I'm not even close to Rosa Passos and yet change my rhythm when playing bossa at least a dozen times per tune

[@townheadbluesboy]

Really helpful lesson. I've been struggling to get going with this for ages. You're a great teacher. I've pledged you on Patreon and look forward to getting better at Jazz guitar. Thanks

[@175epi]

Wow, what a good lesson. So much of what is out there falls into the "You'll Never Be Able To Play Jazz, So Why Bother?" category; but your videos always give the viewer something they can use right away, in an actual tune, and sound good doing it. One of your strengths is your ability to take things that are complicated, and present them in a clear and understandable way . . .the mark of a good teacher.

@@GuitarversumSandraSherman thank you I will look your video up,,,the 575 is still the best guitar I have,,, have not tried Gibson, too rich for my blood and skill level,,,ciao,,,ps,,I am not sure if the price difference is worth it,,,nor would I have the skill to be a proper judge,,,have been buying guitars since 1962 and I. Cannot justify the Gibson prices,,and even Heritage is now becoming out of reach for most people who love the instrument, but, are not professionals..

[@dinogoldie9716]

Thank you for this very well explained lesson. Just what I needed. I've put together a bunch of 1625 progressions I figured out on a keyboard and, thanks to this lesson, I'm going to try and make them happen on my acoustic guitar. Oddly, I'm finding the right hand technique more difficult than the fretting atm. Anyway, simple question: Can anyone reading this recommend an affordable (sub £500) electric guitar for jazz/R&B comping?

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Try to get a used Epiphone Sheraton 2.

I grew up in Phoenix and as i got older every summer I hated it more... we're talking 118 degrees Sandra! So in 2008 my wife & I moved 75 miles north to Prescott, which is a little mountain town that is 3900 ft. higher in elevation and so much nicer climate! I love it here. Take care.

Yes, Jay Roberts is a well known guitarist/ instructor and he won the Jimmy Hendrix competition here in Seattle. Doug, his brother was the drummer for their metal band in the 80's called Koda Kahn. I think that is spelling. I also wanted to thank you for your amazing videos, I just had my first jazz lesson that I am taking as a part of my associates in music and you have opened the brain to the structure and ideas of jazz music.

[@edt.5118]

The knowledge is revealed. Showing how the comping guitar meshs with the drummer is like passing on wisdom. This makes practicing chord progressions much more interesting. How would the first rhythm "click" sound be played on an acoustic instrument?

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Even easier. I fobs that the /acoustic steing (but not so much nylon strings) kick even better. Same technique.
