Jazz Guitar Voicings

[Kody Chavva]

Forexample, to physically play the chord, we have to replace another note. I chose to replace the root (C) with the 9th (D). When we find the right fingering, we end up playing an E-7 chord! However, this is totally fine! All the notes work out.

This rootless dominant 7th chord shape is great for altered dominant chords with a b9. The natural 13th makes this a suitable choice for altered V chords that resolve to a major I chord (the 13th or 6th of a V chord is the 3rd of its I chord).

The m7b5 shape can be derived easily from any minor chord shape. You only need to take the 5th of a minor chord and flat it. You can also consider it a diminished triad with a minor seventh interval from the root note.

Half-diminished chords are a staple of the minor ii-V-i, found in almost every minor chord progression. Diminished seventh chords have a variety of uses, including passing chords and the v7 chord in the harmonic minor key.

Applying jazz harmony to the guitar might seem like a daunting task. On a piano, everything is linear: low to high, left to right. There is only one axis of pitch. However, the guitar has two axes of pitch. You can move up the neck to change pitch or move across the strings.

Improve your understanding of major and minor triads, scales, chord scales, and chord-scale relationships. Chords and scales are two related ways of organizing the same musical information and relationships.

Try identifying chord progressions by listening to your favorite recordings. If that is too challenging, try identifying chord qualities and progressions in backing tracks, which often have simpler voicings and comping patterns.

The best way to learn jazz is to play jazz. Jazz standards are the canvases that jazz musicians paint sounds on. Learning jazz standards will improve your knowledge of chord progressions, help you get better at playing melodies, and improve your jazz solos.

Though present in folk, bluegrass, blues, and occasionally in rock (hello, Steve Howe), chord melodies are most prominently played by jazz guitarists. A working knowledge of harmony (being able to play lines and chords through any common chord progression), voice leading, and chordal improvisation are essential prerequisites to playing the melody and harmony of a jazz song simultaneously.
