    This RUclips lesson is a segment of the full video lesson. I am only showing the first three-chord shapes out of the six. Get the book or video to get the other three. Or better yet, get the PLAY STANDARDS WITH JUST SIX CHORDS series and all the chords and names are shown there.
    If you play blues guitar you might be interested in my other RUclips video on playing blues guitar with jazz chords:

      Thank you MatkoCmilansky. So glad you dig it. It's a funny thing with this RUclips video lesson. it was a printed paper-back, book and video package first that got no attention. No music store distributor publisher would pick up. For five years the RUclips video went nearly un-noticed. About year six it took off and if anything keeps getting more popular as time goes by. It has been quite gratifying to have the book find its audients with talented guitar players looking for new directions that are easy to digest. I think I will repost this letter to you as a comment myself. By the way, a new book and video package for rock guitarist on Playing Jazz Blues will be out next month. Thanks again....Glen

    Mr.Rose, I'm a musician of over 35years and i'd just like to say your instruction style is phenomenal! the "lets do the fun stuff first THEN worry about how we got there" builds a confidence in the student that "hey , I can play that!" with out boring the student out of the interest of playing guitar with dry theory. I wish school teachers would follow this pattern.

      So true! There would be a whole lot more amazing piano players in the world as well, if piano teachers taught this way. I can remember it like it was yesterday. 1966, skinny little nine-year-old, piano teacher with a German accent in Eugene Oregon, “fundamentals! Play that scale again until you get it right!” Instead of, “what is your favorite Beatles song? Let me teach you that.” Get me hooked on the drug first and then show me how it’s made. Quit that nonsense after three years and picked up a guitar!

Now moving onto the jazzy stuff and creating my own music. Bought a guitar today and only want to learn the improv stuff for now. The fun stuff! Maybe buy a loop pedal soon...really get creative! Thats what music is ultimately about. Creativity and expression. Once I have an interest in something I will want to teach myself the fundanentals. But for now I want to learn HOW not WHY?

      I don't get it.
      So in the first chord (5th fret), he plays the notes A, G, C, E - that would be Amin7, ok.
      In the second chord, he plays D, F#, C, E - but isn't that is D9?
      And I don't get any clue about the third chord. It has the notes F#, H, D - Bmin?
      Can anyone explain that to me?

    • @amosegel2510
      @amosegel2510 4 года назад +8

      I see, that is supposed to be II-V-I. The "R" in (R)min7 confused me.
      The first chord is Amin7 which is the II so everything is in G.
      Then, D9, where D is V from G - check.
      The last must be Gmaj7 ... F# (is the maj7) H and D the third and fifth. OK got it.

With this video you tear down these imaginary walls, and breaks it down the music to its simplest form, which makes it accessible to anyone. Even to people who are just starting out learning to play an instrument. Which is no small feat. Great work, Glen!

      @Alex 0ut-Of-Magic Alex, I really enjoyed your little excursus. Nevertheless, I feel the urge to tell you that- in my opinion- doubting everything is equally as dangerous and stupid as believing everything. Truth doesn't have to be an everlasting entity in order to be helpful (and true) for us humans. What you write about Einstein suggests to me, that you maybe read a book about him (which is cool and all) but are not a physician yourself and didn't really study his works. He certainly was no-one who "made up shit" and "did not have to prove it" as you say, but a very conscientious and wholehearted scientist. That he was capable of realising the limitations of his theory (and mind) should not be used as an argument against those theories or himself. We should always doubt science, but I would be a bit cautious, otherwise you might end like this dude here ;)

    You know Glen, I’ve played guitar many years, listened to jazz, but never really tried to play it with chords, sometimes just improvised with sound tracks doing whatever I wanted. But this playing this made me feel like I was on to something. I almost cried this is beautiful! Thank you for sharing this:)

    Great video! You have an excellent method of teaching. This video is perfect for guitar players with a little experience, to just learn this sound really fast. One can tell very quickly you know what you're doing but you teach it in a way where anyone can learn whether they know the theory or not. Awesome.

    This is the most helpful guitar video I’ve ever watched, thank you for making it so simple, it was very easy to understand. It really shows that you don’t need to know all the terminology for jazz to sounds good, as long as you get the feel of the patterns it may be as simple as that. Thank you so much

    And this is exactly how we all start learning to play the guitar. The backyardness of this video is in my opinion...the best way to learn. Hands down. I didnt learn what i was playing until much later on. Music is art...played with such a feeling cant be described or boxed in. Just play. Thats all i wanted to do. Ty for this vid. It made my day and brought me back to my roots.

      Listen to the Micheal Franks tune, "Down in Brazil" on RUclips. He uses the three-chord, major jazz pattern for the entire tune. He uses it in six different places and that's the entire tune. You can do the same sort of thing.

  • @drewblack392

    What a wonderful teacher! I have read a bit of Mr. Rose's biography. He is steeped in musical notation and knows the chord names and formulas thoroughly-- and yet here he is helping us learn without getting confused by the chord names. Clear and generous instruction. I have tipped him in the past for this video lesson and encourage you to do so, too, if you can. Thanks Mr. Rose!

    • @glenrose7925
      @glenrose7925  2 года назад +1

      Thank you Drew. True, I am involved in the scholastic and erudite aspects of music and theory. But I also like to get lost and just play. Introducing jazz concept to talented self taught guitarist without the theory has been a special project of mine. It seems to be received well.

  • @lukejohnson6145

    This is a great video, because not only does it teach a large amount of Jazz fundamentals, but does so in a simplified manner. This manner makes it easy to pick up quickly and also avoids the overwhelming stress that can come with not knowing any of the proper Jazz "lingo" or musical theory. Fantastic video.

I've played bass and guitar for about ten years, and I've alway tried to develop a playstyle that feels in-between rhythm and lead, and to make a few travels into the same territory as my basslines. I'm mainly playing roots reggae, funk and disco, and this one opened up a way for me too just get everything in there, I can just take this and toss in some funk, some reggae, some of my own twists, and it just comes naturally... Great work! I have to get the full video.

    i learned the 9th chords back when i started learning; while messing around and experimenting on my own, i was like darn this sounds Jazzy as hell!, and then i kept studying and learnt latter about them and their names, hadnt experienced that third minor chord you threw in there, it sounds great indeed, i was always looking for that finishing sound to the grove and that minor realy provides that, thank you. Now i noticed that after the minor chord, if you throw in a diminished seven chord one fret up the neck(i mean towards the pegs :) ) it sounds really great, and then another minor up the neck and another diminished seven and its ON! :)
