Jazz Chords for Beginners (Every Jazz Chord You Need To Know)

[@nickschuller9861]

These are the lessons we need! Most channels only focus on scales and soloing. What is missing is building progressions, chords, understanding diatonic chordal movement and adding tension. Thanks for the fantastic content.

[@Learnjazzstandards]

You're welcome, Nick! Thanks for watching.

[@thomas_vk]

Super clear !

[@Learnjazzstandards]

Glad to be of help!

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have listened to this lesson over and over again. Great lesson covering the essentials.

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

Merci beaucoup. I'm still a beginner piano player, but I've worked on my music theory and this was well presented and made sense. I'm not going to pretend to play these until I earn my chops, but when my technique catches up, having this knowledge will make the journey that much easier.

[@Learnjazzstandards]

Glad you found it helpful Lawrence!

Superbly structured and organized presentation. I'm a novice playing mostly pop songs and seach out alternative voicings usually by trial and error. Surprisingly often using an altered chord where a major will do is so satisfying.

[@Learnjazzstandards]

Thanks, I'm glad it's helpful!

Setting the standards (pun intended) for music theory, youtube videos. Packed with content, great editing, chapters, superior supporting graphics and meaningful examples. Curious to know why on the major chord the 11 sounds funny.

[@alessandran.2546]

the 11th is considered an avoid note. That's because it's only a semitone away from the 3rd which creates a clash harmonically speaking. Ex the 11th of Cmaj would be an F, which is a semitone away from the third (E). You can still use it as a passing tone, which means that it's just quickly played and won't interfere with the chord too much.

Very clear! Thank you so much!

[@Learnjazzstandards]

You're very welcome!

[@swashbuckler73]

Great acoustic tone on guitar!

[@Learnjazzstandards]

Thank you! It's a custom-made Victor Baker

[@LarryLenau]

Thanks, Brent. Very comprehensive and clear 🙂

[@Learnjazzstandards]

Thanks! I'm glad to hear that.

My pleasure! Thanks

[@lifelemonswhenlifegivesule9209]

Great video, very informative!

[@Learnjazzstandards]

Thank you for watching!

[@BruceWilsonVideo]

Terrific video as usual, Brent!

[@Learnjazzstandards]

Thanks, Bruce!

[@miguelnaranjo538]

Can you share the details for the guitar you used during this video?

[@Learnjazzstandards]

Hi! This is a custom-made Victor Baker. You can find more information about this guitar in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r56ViZV3i6lse8U. Thank you!

[@ethanbrown6352]

In a triad, would the chord be fully diminished or half diminished? Because there wouldn't be a flat 7 or double flat 7, just the root, flat 3rd, and flat 5th, so I don't know what to call it

[@Learnjazzstandards]

Hey Ethan, fully diminished! The qualities of triads are: major, minor, augmented, diminished

[@64Golfy]

Great video thanks Brent. What is a double flat B?

[@Learnjazzstandards]

Hi, Dilip. It's A natural

[@64Golfy]

@@Learnjazzstandards is there a reason we don’t just say A natural? 😳

[@eric_james_music]

why does no one talk about the dom11 chord with the major 3rd? you can build it 7x785. The clashing of intervals sounds pretty nice to me. nice breakdown though this deff would help an intermediate player a lot

[@Learnjazzstandards]

Hey Eric, I think you are referring to the dom7sus4 which is discussed in this video?

[@eric_james_music]

@@Learnjazzstandards I’m talking about the dom11 that seems to be forbidden. 1 3 5 7 9 11. Keeping the major 3rd as well as the sus4/11. On guitar you would have the 1 3 b7 11. 7x785x being B11

[@alfredbellanti3755]

I discovered that most notes in the chord extensions occur in the song melody when playing piano and are useful only when comping. Can you comment on this?

[@jimmyfalcone1597]

you should explain this things in tabs for as the people whom doesnt know the neck of the guitar

[@Phaseish]

damn you should have had the fret diagrams under the notation : when you added the photoshop L;( but thanks for the video man !

[@AsiaOdin]

Man, you're playing the 9th in all of your supposedly 7 chords, in all of your learning clips🥴 It's confusing.

[@JohnnyRut]

Jazz guitar is such a scam! You don't even have as many fingers as there are notes in most of the chords!
