Understand jazz chords and progressions with step-by-step lessons inspired by jazz standards, from Classic Jazz to Brazilian and Gypsy Jazz. This course is designed for beginners in jazz: you’ll learn real concepts and how to use them. It’s not a β€œfirst guitar” course though β€” you should already be comfortable with basic chords and basic rhythm (changing chords in time). What’s inside: 8 lessons with a gradual increase in difficulty. For each lesson: theory, tips, tabs, and video. Learn chord embellishments, diatonic substitution, and tritone substitution. Understand how to create your own jazz chord progressions. Lesson 1 β€” Jazz Chords Jazz chords built from the major scale. II–V–I chord changes in G and C. Introduction to walking bass. Lesson 2 β€” II–V–I Progression Using the major scale in progressions. Chord embellishment. The diminished chord. Lesson 3 β€” Changing Key Find II–V–I in multiple keys. Chord roots on the E and A strings. Lesson 4 β€” More Chord Movement Diatonic substitution. Secondary dominants. Cycle of fifths. Triads and tetrads. Lesson 5 β€” Tritone Substitution Tritone substitution in context. 11th and 13th chords. Practical fingerings. Lesson 6 β€” Blues for Clara From a traditional 12-bar blues to a richer form. 9th and 13th chords. Lesson 7 β€” Gypsy Swing Gypsy Jazz rhythm fundamentals. Major and minor 6th chords. Lesson 8 β€” Sunny Bossa Bossa Nova rhythm pattern. Using substitutions to color progressions.
