DeepRoots14th January 2008Hey Muris- i see some + and - signs in the chord names, could you explain what this means about the chord's construction please?
Thanks

Nice work!
David Wallimann14th January 2008Excellent, as always!
Muris Varajic14th January 2008Thanks guys
DeepRoots, "+" is sign for #-sharp and "-" is for b/flat.
It's used in chord structure but not when talking about intervals alone.
Hisham Al-Sanea14th January 2008perfect muris
Siggum14th January 2008Yes! thats the spirit good one Muris, and like Kris said, its lovely to see more jazzy stuff here.

Juan M. Valero15th January 2008great lesson Muris, Jazz a really pretty style
Gerardo Siere15th January 2008nice swing
shellshock191115th January 2008Just what I needed right now. I was wondering though, what is "swing"? How do you make a swing rhythm?
FretDancer6915th January 2008great lesson Muris, Jazz is a style i must incorporate in my playing for various reasons.
But what does the "add" means in a chord? "additiona"?, i know dim means diminished, aug augmented, but add? 
Robin15th January 2008Amazing, I have to learn this. Thanks.
Kosei Kubota15th January 2008Boy, you cover so many different styles and always sound great!
Tomy Jeon15th January 2008Great lesson Muris! Can't wait for the solo
Muris Varajic15th January 2008Thanks guys!!
Yes,add means added or additional so that note isn't actually part of the chord,
I'm taking about building chords by triads,3rd,5th,7th,9th,11th etc.
DeepRoots15th January 2008Thanks Muris for clearing that up
Muris Varajic15th January 2008You're more than welcome!
If you have any other questions tho please ask.
Crazyfret15th January 2008Ahhhh I feel all relaxed now
A good introduction to jazz. Thankyou Muris
seagull15th January 2008I actually have a question, 'cus I've always loved jazz, but the chord construction and their names have always somewhat confounded me.
What chords and chord structures are typical for jazz? In this lesson it is obvious that some minor 5ths, some 7ths, 9ths, 13ths etc. stand out from standard progressions, but are there some ground rules to follow?
Muris Varajic15th January 2008Good one.
You see, you can build every chord in progression up to 7th,9th,11th etc.
Just go by thirds but in key scale and you'll stay in key,no out notes.
But Jazz offers more freedom so you can "shift" some notes up or down.
Main thing about intervals is this:
minor 7 is 7
major 9 in 9
perfect 11 is 11
major 13 is 13(same as 6 but in octave higher)
Quick example:
There's F# 7/-9 chord in the lesson,notes are F,A#,C#,E and G.
All notes are fine(A# as well cause it has dominant role for B minor)
Now take a look and 9th,it is note G and G is also in D major scale.
BUT as I explained intervals before,this is minor 9th so it's assigned with -,
major 9th would be just 9 and it'd be note out of key/scale,G#.
Ivan Milenkovic15th January 2008Nice chordal workout Muris, smooth and jazzy. Versatile player you are.
visi0n15th January 2008the left hand thumb must be no problem 
you have to use it when you play saz ..
Muris Varajic15th January 2008Jazz on saz,must be funny
Owen15th January 2008Yknow what Muris, I figure you must get bored of all the positive comments, so I'm going to break the mould 
;
I have to say that was complete rubbish
(Luv'd it really ) 
Muris Varajic15th January 2008Ahh,something new for a change,thanks mate
seagull15th January 2008Muris Varajic15th January 2008Sorry,typo error,notes are F#,A#,C#,E and G.
Smikey200616th January 2008Jazz and blues are what im trying to learn! THIS IS GREAT muris your my hero
Vinod Saranga16th January 2008Great job Muris
Looking forward your solo
Jad Diab20th January 2008wow muris, man i'm really impressionated! Bravo
did you follow a chord progression when you composed that, or did it just come in your head like this .. i'm mean in the first video you used
D#m7/5- D#dim, so how did it came to you to do this, why didn't you do
D#713 D#7 for example.. i know it's a weird question, but it's because i would like to compose something and i don't really know how to start, i need a beginning, something to hold on ....
thanks for your lesson man, you really rock
Jad Diab20th January 2008yeah and nice solo by the way
Muris Varajic20th January 2008Hi ZZ
Yeah,I make chord progression and then I simply jam over it.
Why D#m7/-5?
Cause it feels so natural,has all the same notes as DM7,
all you have to do is move root note.
T10127th January 2008My thumb is in pain 
I guess it's just a matter of getting used to it since I've never used my thumb to fret before, but is there any way I can train it? And is it possible to do it wrong or are my fingers just too short?
Muris Varajic27th January 2008Don't worry about length of your fingers and thumb,
I'm sure it's fine,it needs some practicing to get used to it just like everything else. 
Try practicing regular major and minor chords on all 6 string,
Just play 6th string with your thumb while holding small bare with index finger
on top 2 strings for majors,and on top 3 strings for minors.
That'll prepare you nicely for more advanced chords like in here.
T10128th January 2008Thanks man, I'll give it a shot. The problem right now is biggest when my index finger must fret the D-string at the same time, but I'll try to work it out.
kyldeee25th February 2008Man, these are some hard chord shapes... Having a hard time with them, but I'm getting there very slowly 
Muris Varajic25th February 2008Sure,give it a try and ask if you need anything!
eddiecat15th March 2008Ouch... Some chords are really hard to get!
But it's great for studying chord construction!
Cheers
Muris Varajic16th March 2008Keep it up Eddie.

Mats Hedberg21st June 2008cool , muris i love wes montgomery!
Mats.
Muris Varajic21st June 2008Thanks Mats,appreciate it!
BedroomBozo27th January 2009Ahhhh yes the "lost art" of jazz rhythm guitar! I'm looking forward to digging into this one.
Muris Varajic27th January 2009Have fun.
To get that soft sound we will use our thumb to slightly brush the strings. There are many chord types involved, from simple 7th chords to much complex, add13,+9 etc.
