Jazz Chords - E, A, D Forms

Basic jazz guitar chords are typically 7th's. In this lesson, we will use the E, A, and D chord forms to build the qualities of Major 7, minor 7, minor 7 flat 5, & fully diminished 7.

To Do

Practice fretting each of these voicings. Then practice progressions.

In Jazz, the most common chord progression [stream of sequentially changing chords is 2-5-1 (ii-V-I)]. With the 7th's, the qualities will be iimin7-V7-IMaj7.
