Thanx, my friend!

[@vincentparrella5668]

Your a delight to watch teaching,I’ve told u a many times,actually Twice❤️But your a Gem Sandra Sherman!!!!!!!!

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

I can't hear it often enough 😁❤️

[@richfrommitch]

Sandra, this is perfect. After 35 years of being a metal/rock player i decided to try to get into playing jazz. I tried to teach myself for a couple of years and now have a teacher but your videos make everything so much clearer. I still struggle but a little less.

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

I hooe you find much joy in the new genrw. We all can learn from different musoc styles. Keep swingin 🎶 🎸

[@slickwillie3376]

Yes! This is exactly what I need.

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Glad it's helpful 😊

[@CrazyQ6930]

Hey, Sandra, I am listening to quite a few teachers you included. I'm an older gentleman and at times it takes a while for me to get it. But thanks for this lesson because you've explained it perfectly to me in a manner I think I could continuously study. The inversion voicings were buggin' me here in Indiana just outside of Chicago. Thanks for getting me on the right track with this. Slowly I'm learning to play. THANKS AGAIN❗❤️

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

So happy to hear you appreciate the lesson and it's helpful! Keep ssingin, my friend 🎶 🎸

[@mikegeld1280]

Great job on this one SS, i haven't seen this yet ,but its great 😺 you really know ur stuff

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@outinacornfield]

When you put it all together you got some dreamy sounds! Thank you for the different and effective approach to inversions!

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@rejamuhammad4916]

It's methodical, easy to visualize. Best chord inversions lesson on the 6th string..

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Thank you!

[@michaellathim791]

very informative. I learn from you every time I watch

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

That makes me really happy 😊

[@TaiChiBeMe]

You make so much sense. What you explain in 5 minutes will take 5 months to learn well though... thanks for posting.

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Thanks, Tim! Isn't it fantastic to discover all these new things? I hope you're not discouraged, but excited about it! Finally I can tell my hubs, that I have proof now, that I make sense 😂

[@superjam1446]

Finally a teacher where you can see the fingerings! Thank you!

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Thanks! ❤️ There's also a chord sheet available for download.

[@luishiguera3995]

Amazing way of teaching Sandra! Your lessons are more precious than diamonds 💎 Thank you for being there for all of us!

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Thanks Luis! ❤️ Here's a quick tip: If you moove the tone from the low E-string top the high e-string (everything else remains the same), you get the upper structure Drop 2 Voicings. Cool, ey? 😊

[@luishiguera3995]

@@GuitarversumSandraSherman Very cool indeed. I hope you are having a great weekend!

[@seriousoldman8997]

Wow! really stretching my fingers and ears. Helps me as an introduction to 'Modern ' jazz ,rock and folk solo voicings and getting me to figure slash chords (triads) too! Gonna drop these onto the A string as well and work on these for a LONG time ! One of the best lessons ever for spurring me on. Thank you so much!

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

The A-string inversions are more difficult and some of those are unplayable.

[@bobfurlani3314]

Excellent lesson. Thanks

[@remley8877]

I just love the way you explain complex concepts in very easy practical ways.

[@stevedouglas7375]

I agree. Sandra is absolutely wonderful. Her pleasant, calm and easy going style makes it easy and comfortable to follow her instruction. For me that is huge. I understand and grasp material much better from a teacher like Sandra.

[@remley8877]

@@stevedouglas7375 that's for sure. I've learned much more from a year of her videos than in 3 years of private lessons and books. I'm an INTP personality, so I really learn best from lectures and love the ability to watch over and over until I fully understand the concept. She's a natural born teacher.

[@stevedouglas7375]

Well said Remley. I understand and agree. Thank you.

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Thanks Remley and Steve for your super nice words. I'm blushing a bit now ☺️. The funny thing is, ever since I was a young kid, I always wanted to become a teacher. I really love explaining things. And through the years I made many concepts. The video format gives me great possibilities, but is also a bit limited (I need to explain fast, bc video audience gets bored easily). I'm having fun and I'm really happy you do too.

[@victorformosa228]

Teaching is an art in it's self, and sandra has it, she makes it easy to grasp.

[@lowellweeks1448]

Just downloaded the PDF for this lesson. What a wonderful and clear explanation! Can't wait to start using these colorful chords. I've been searching for this next step for awhile now. Looking forward to hearing/seeing more.

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Thanks, Lowell! Check out the follow up video on how to invert Tension Chords.

[@Ermdia]

Diese Lektion ist der Hammer ...

Freut mich sehr, dass sie dir gefällt! ❤️

[@carreiroolivier1835]

voilà quelques temps que je suis ce que vous faites. j'adore ça! je ne suis pas du tout bilingue mais la musique est une langue à part entière. bonne continuation pour notre plaisir à toutes et à tous.

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Merci pour les bons mots. Je suis heureux que vous compreniez le contenu de mes vidéos malgré le manque d’anglais. Néanmoins, dans les cours théoriques, je trouve cela assez difficile. Je souhaite que quelqu'un puisse traduire mes vidéos dans les langues de plongée. J'ai déverrouillé cette fonctionnalité, mais elle n'a encore jamais soumis de traduction pour les sous-titres 😭

[@sebastianfischer498]

wow this stuff is so helpful. Your videos are condensed knowledge.. thank you

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Thank you for your kind words, my friend. Keep swinging 🎵🎸

[@cagnesurmer1]

Super le travail en quart pour les renversements !

[@seasider2164]

Great lesson. Thanks.

[@Sacred342]

Hello Sandra, really interesting lesson, it is a new but limitless concept for me. Been following ur channel for 1 year and learnt tons of things. Somehow u make jazz and manouche difficult concepts easy to understand and practice!

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

You are right, it's limitless. I have a follow up video on how to invert tension chords, or actually ANY given chord (even the ones you invent).

[@herrschnupke4044]

Great lesson! Inversions is advanced stuff, there is a lot to organise and select what is important for the praxis. One could get lost in this jungle otherwise.

[@waynehicks1969]

Another great lesson. You really are a treasure!

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Aaawww, thank you! ❤️

[@tombola4673]

Great lesson (as always). Thank you very much...

Thanks Sandra. Great lesson, very useful and as always very well explained.

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Thank you! I hope the system behind inversions reveals new opportunities to find your own unique voicings! It's powerful. Check out my follow up video "The Chord Inversion Trick" on advanced voicibgs.

Thankyouthankyou! :) Greetings from another jazzgirl from the Netherlands

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

The pleaseure's all mine :-)

[@jedmarsillo]

amazing lesson Sandra. You somehow make jazz seem so simple. This entire lesson I was just thinking Duh that makes sense why didn't I realize that. Ill be utilizing this lesson for awhile.

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

This makes me smile! Yeah, it's the simple things sometimes, that make all the difference. Have a great time discovering new jazz sounds!

[@SirAndyDee]

Beatiful sounds! I will try those for my next composition.

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

You can use those chords for all kinds of genres, like pop, rock, blues, fun etc.

[@salvadorgarcia8661]

Como siempre otra gran clase de lenguaje jazzístico. Sacaré un gran provecho de los pdf's porque es una pena que no entienda el inglés. Muchas gracias Sandra.

[@pedro6832]

Thank you Sandra again, I have learned these chord book but now I know how they are formed. This opens up so many new doors :)

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Doesn't it feel so good to know what you're doing, rather than just learning something by heart? I appreciate that feeling of total freedom on the fretboard. Hang in there and have fun 😊❤️

[@danielmbwambo2338]

Massive thanks... great lesson Sandra, i always understand what you teach, may you please do the drop 2 voicings?

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Hi Daniel, Sure, maybe summer.

[@jamesmargulis332]

Woooow! I've been waiting for a lesson on inversions. How great is that?!

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Glad I got the target 🎯 😊

[@brettmayers39]

Thank you for this video

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

You're very welcome! ❤️

[@patvideowork]

Request please : If I had you. Love this song ....and the work you do. I must say that I really improved my playing since I’ve worked on some of your arrangements. And the pleasure I get of being able to play those great chords melody tune... thanks Sandra.

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Thank you, Pat! I'll put it on the list and if I can come up with a playable arrangement I'll do it.

[@theguyfromberlin]

Great Lesson. Thank you!

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Thames for watching ❤️

[@billward1973]

Great lesson as always Sandra! I use the major 6th chord a lot and never understood that shape could be used as an inversion for a minor 7th chord! Wow! Thank you, your channel is by far my favorite jazz instruction channel! :)

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Thanks so much, Bill! I found it really intriguing how every chord can be re-interpreted.

[@bluekaratedog]

So helpful - thank you. Glad to have found your videos. Great lessons :)

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Thanks a lot! Enjoy the jazz ride! 😊

[@DavidDorenfeld]

This is an amazing lesson and very well explained. Thank you!!!

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Thank your, David, for this wonderful compliment! ❤️

[@DavidDorenfeld]

@@GuitarversumSandraSherman welcome!

[@pamagee2011]

Well explained. I assume the method of developing the inversions is the same for the other chord types.

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

I have afollow up video for advanced invertions (How to invert any chord), where you'll learn to invert tensions. Tensions shouldn't be in the bass, so there's some workarounds to this. Check it out!

[@donlessnau3983]

Great stuff, as always Sandra. I've learned more from watching your vids in a few months than I have from anyone else in person in the last year. Really excellent. Thanks for the download too. Best I've seen yet from the top string. Very easy to read. Minor point...Dominant is misspelled on your sheet. NBD. Just letting you know.

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Oopsie, I will check the spelling out. What did I write (I don't have it in front of me). Thanks for the feedback.

[@donlessnau3983]

The sheet says "Dominat 7".....should be "Dominant". NBD.

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Oh thanks, I will correct that!

[@albertandtempie2007]

This is brilliant!

[@brianp8384]

Thank you for another great lesson, Sandra. I have a really basic question about inversions. Other than the lowest note (3rd for first inversion, 5th for second inversion, etc.) does the order of the other notes above matter? The reason I ask is that I have seen online references that specifically say the first inversion has the 3rd on bottom "with the root note one sixth above it." Does it matter where the root is as long as the 3rd is the lowest tone?

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

It doesn't matter. But some constellations just don't make much sense. There's something called low level intervalls, which means you shouldn't go below certain intervalls, when you're in a really low register on the guitar.

[@abejacgot]

By changing the Bass note E to a high E...have we changed the inversion? Thanks for all

[@antoninodepaduanascimentof7996]

É bom ouvi-la tocando. Parabéns!!!

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

You're the sweetest ❤️

[@noelmaylor229]

Hi Sandra I love your guitar, and I love music very very much, I would love to write songs, play music and sing. I am learning from your video. I need whatever help I can get and understanding from your lesson. " Bless".

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Thanks, Noel! Keep swingin and groovin, my friend!

[@mikemoran7036]

Superb!

[@mikemoran7036]

Please can you do a lesson on Where or When from the Johnny Smith album Moonlight in Vermont

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Oh, I will definitly look into that. I haven't heard that song, I think. But I like Johnny Smith 😊

[@mikemoran7036]

Great thanks will look forward to that.

[@originealex]

thank you

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

The pleasure's all mine 😊

[@lofifolkvids348]

Hi Sandra, this is great but I don't understand what you mean by 'drop 3 voicings'. Is it explained somewhere in another video? Thanks

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

I didn't mention it, bc it really isn't that important. It means that the 3rd voice (tone) from top is transposed down an octave.

[@provincia3964]

Gamechanger for me

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Glad it helped you! Keep swingin 🎶 🎸

[@guilhermeviegas6139]

i really need some examples in songs that use maj7 3rd inversion

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

You can use it whenever there's a maj7 in the chord sheet (like in almost every jazz standard) . Just exchange it!

[@Ermdia]

On 26:55 you are saying Cmaj7 second inversion ? is that not the 3 . inversions I am confused .... :) ....

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

The video isn't that long, so your time stamp must be wrong.

[@Ermdia]

sooty ich meinte bei der Minute 9:55 :)

[@Dr.guy.]

Holy shit this is great

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

Haha, thank you so much ❤️. Enjoy the jazz ride!

[@gerdvanjuuten1581]

Wow, that is the missing link to my chord melody playiang.

[@steveboel12]

9:50 *third inversion

[@GuitarversumSandraSherman]

I probably meant the third chord (second inversion) 😊
