About This Course

Who this course is for:

  • Guitarists who understand basic chords and are looking for the next step

What you’ll learn: 

  • Employ basic Jazz and Neo Soul chords in any song progression
  • Understand how a basic chord is constructed out of a scale
  • Learn how basic chords become seventh and ninth chords
  • Learn individual chord shapes and how to use them
  • See where seventh and ninth chords fit in a key to replace basic chords seamlessly

Requirements: 

  • An understanding of basic guitar chords, along with major and minor scale shapes, will help you navigate this course more easily!

Have you ever wanted to play Jazz or Neo Soul like the guitarists that you hear online? In this class, we’re going to cover the basics of Jazz and Neo Soul chords. We’ll start with discovering what makes a basic triad chord and how we manipulate the notes in a scale to transform our shapes into sevenths and ninths.

We’ll cover four types of seventh chords (major, minor, minor(b5), and Augmented) and two ninth chords (major and minor). In Jazz and Neo Soul Chords 102, we’ll focus on more ninth chords, sixth chords, and thirteenth chords.

We will learn individual chord shapes, but also how we build them and use them. More than just memorizing – I want to help you feel confident replacing chords in a progression with these new shapes and fitting them into a parent key. This method will turn you from a memorizing machine holding a guitar into a truly creative musician!

This course comes with a three-page PDF with images of each shape so that you can practice effectively on your own. I recommend you use it alongside some chord progressions you’ve made and try to integrate some of the shapes into your own music.

Our Promise to You

By the end of this course, you’ll have a basic understanding of some Jazz chord shapes and how to employ them to transform your playing. Let’s get started!
