"Minor Swing" - Easy Modern Jazz Guitar Style Lesson by Achim Kohl + Tabs

[@BrainiacFingers]

I taught myself to play classical guitar to a reasonable standard for a self-taught, but have grappled with jazz playing and improvising, on and off for years, to no avail. However, after viewing only one of these incredibly illuminating lessons , I now finally understand how the various scales, modes and arpeggios relate to chord progressions. These lessons are a godsend.

[@aventuraspernambucanas-vlo4745]

Muinto bom to estudando muito seus métodos

[@erickr4542]

how do you choose voicings for comping? can you do a lesson teaching should what voicings to start using and where to use them? maybe a series?

[@AchimKohl-JazzGuitar]

That's a good idea, there are a lot of guitarists out there who have no idea about tasteful comping chords, it's time to change that . . .

[@paests]

Thanks achim! Wld love to have the walking bass tab as well if possible :)

[@daniellemelle744]

[@robertoremedios1221]

VERY GOOD RRR

[@musicisjustwigglyair4208]

Man I love this shit so much

[@sylvesterwarbringer8397]

can anyone tell me when to play arpeggios? i mean, we can also play other modes but y just 3 notes arpeggios? to make sound jazzy or melodic?

[@AaronWalkerGypsyJazz]

MInor swing as interpreted by a modern jazz player completely unlike Django or any gypsy jazz player would play it or approach it.

[@vaclavhanusekv1717]

You´re right. When I hear that playing, only chords are the same. Gypsy jazz is completely differend style.

[@bermchasin]

Not everyone has the luxury of only having three fingers! (But seriously Django is too talented man...)

[@colorsmusicastudio8646]

nice...

[@interlinkag]

Hi from Australia.......................please what model guitar is that one.................great sound.

[@AchimKohl-JazzGuitar]

Hi Peter, it's a Gibson ES-137 Custom, best regards from Mainz, Germany

[@farmalapampa]

why is #Fa on fourth string, if the chord is minor (3rd minor)?

[@edgardoduran8107]

wow!!

[@loumat62]

Hello. You have a great sound!!! What pick do you use? Dunlop jazz?. Best regards Mathieu

[@AchimKohl-JazzGuitar]

Jim Dunlop Tortex Jazz III with a sharp tip

[@jackbo4175]

Not too Bad, gives some insights. Lily the Am6 is rather poor, and can be moved to tenth fret for Dm6. Nevertheless keep going strong your good contribution, tx 😁🎸🎶

[@MrWastime]

Hello. A chord is missing at the eight bar: try a A7(9-) instead of Am6.You can also play a Bb6 instead of F7 sometimes. Chordially. A french Django's lover.

[@AchimKohl-JazzGuitar]

I don't think that a chord is missing, it's the normal basic Django chord progression of this tune, but you're right you can add these chords. On the other hand for a beginner lesson, I don't want to make the progression more complicated as it used to be. cordially

[@MrWastime]

Sure you're right. it was just a suggestion for people who are following you because this chord could be important to understand the joint between chords

[@ezryaa5712]

hi sir, my name is ezry and im doing a little study on your playing style for my research project.i cant find you on facebook so i figure i just post here.Do you mind if i have your full biography? and also a short brief on how you started playing guitar.thank you

[@AchimKohl-JazzGuitar]

Hi Ezry, thanks for your interest on my playing style, but I don't think that you should do a research project with my person. As a jazz guitar player I'm only the result of the efforts from great players like Charlie Christian, Django Reinhard, Herb Ellis, Jimmy Raney, Joe Pass, Grant Green Wes Montgomery, Ed Bickert, George Benson, Pat Martino and many more. All of them started the modern jazz guitar style back in the 50s and 60s of the last century. If I were you, I would start your research with them, it's the real history of jazz guitar . . . best regards, Achim

[@gregoryz6545]

Now that is the mark of a good musician and a fine human being. Humble talent.

[@rodneycampbell3825]

Are you changing scales every chord change?

[@AchimKohl-JazzGuitar]

Mostly I do that . . .

[@rodneycampbell3825]

Achim Kohl but because if the progression it's one key ?

[@bermchasin]

Rodney Campbell it can be played on one key but it changes your target notes and inflection notes

[@Fighting_Irish]

What amp/pedal/other effects do you use?

[@AchimKohl-JazzGuitar]

I did not use an amp, I played directly in my audio interface adding just a compressor, EQ and reverb

[@peggiecrofts2382]

What model is your guitar? Maybe if I buy one? (Smile)

[@AchimKohl-JazzGuitar]

it's a Gibson ES-137 Custom, nice guitar BTW . . .

[@norbertoblanco9771]

Great guitar player! What guitar is it?

[@AchimKohl-JazzGuitar]

it's a Gibson ES-137 Custom, nice guitar btw

[@norbertoblanco9771]

@@AchimKohl-JazzGuitar great and elegant!

[@juliocavalera9293]

Why use f7 whats the root is

[@danymaulana3451]

can i play this with pentatonic scales?

[@AchimKohl-JazzGuitar]

No, that doesn't work if you want a jazzy sound . . .

Если бы арпеджио отдельно разложить на грифе, то было бы понятней.
