Hi GMC! Welcome to my first series here. I will try to produce some useful lessons about Jazz music.
Since it's a large - and complex - topic, I will use also Andrew's voice and his Theory Lessons.
So, thank you Andrew for your time!
You can find the spoken part and the text, clicking on video #2.
This is the first lesson and it's a simple one. However it would be better if you know at least some basic chords and concepts about chords generation.
You can find a Jam Track with the same chord changes of the main video. If you have some skills about improvisation already, you can can have some fun using this backing.
I used the fingerpicking technique to play chords here. Try to use also the pick.
On the picture above you find some shots of the fingerings I used for this lesson. If you're new to this type of chords, it would be cool if you write down the diagrams from yourself. This is a good tip to memorize these chords quickly.
Time signature: 4/4
