Lesson Description:

When I first started making guitar lesson videos people told me that I should make short "clicky" lessons to try and go viral.

I tried a couple times, but that's not me. I don't like to look for shortcuts.

In fact, I think the abundance of quick-win topics like "top 3 guitar hacks" is why it's so hard to actually learn and go deep on YouTube.

My goal is to provide substantive lessons with exercises that really work to help us improve on the guitar.

This jazz chord shapes guitar lesson does exactly that.

This robust exercise for mastering jazz chord shapes on the guitar is amazing.

True, it's not an overnight guitar hack, but it's a resourceful approach that you can come back to for years.

This is a fantastic jazz chord shapes guitar exercise for learning guitar 7th chords all over the fretboard. This kind of thorough practicing is what it takes to truly master theory and technique on the guitar at the same time. I call it the chord quality cycle exercise because it cycles through all the 7th chord qualities that exist in a major scale with the addition of the diminished 7 chord.

I hope you enjoyed this lesson and found it beneficial. Let me know what you thought. Thanks! :)

Of all the channels I watch about jazz guitar, this is by far the best. It's given me the outlook that jazz guitar is not a black art! It makes things simple without over simplifying it

[kashivishwanath]

The best guitar tutorial on the internet on 7th Chords. Excellent lesson by a great tutor. Thanks Jared.

I'm still learning all the fingerings and getting comfortable but this workout is improving my understanding a lot

[bobravenscraft]

What I dig about it you have simplified an otherwise complex endeavor. Now I can teach others to have confidence in

[rishabhpanchal]

Best lessons on planet Youtube, cheers to you Sensei :)

Jared, your lessons ate a cut above everything else on YouTube. What are your thoughts on using the thumb on the low E? I'm struggling to twist my fingers into these shapes, the thumb seems to work for me.

Hello friend, your lessons are spectacular. Greetings from Argentina ... I send you a hug

[jameslloyd]

So glad I found your channel through reddit today! Your teaching style is great. Only halfway through this video and Im stoked to see the other content on your channel 🤘 I hope you have a TikTok 😂

[RuDi-dzek]

thank you just the kind of exercise i was looking for and well explained

[vansaram]

I love your explanation, it's clear, full turtled lessons

[GoneGoner]

Excellent video! Already will give a try to put them all in one scale and check again on your next video :)

[GRJ-uzkf]

This is great. For me, it "completes" your teachings on shell voicings. Just learn the simpler shells for each root and add in the missing 5th. I also appreciate your pointers for us more limited acoustic players. Too bad my fingers can't reach to those 4th-string roots.

[bobravenscraft]

Sir I Reiterate. U R. The man. Best 7ths lesson by Far. All the others are scavenger hunts for a 6th. I DEEPLY THANK YOU. U. ROCK. OR JAZZ LOL

[bobravenscraft]

Dude. When I memorize these I'm going into a cacoon. Coming out a Phoenix. YOU ROCK. AND RULE!!!!

[alanroberts]

Hi Jered this is Alan/ (or Al ). I think you are great, where did you find the time to learn all this stuff. By the way, could you try and talk a little slower, thanks. Al

[harleyanderson]

I can’t get my fingers to make the F half diminished on the 6th string root. I think it’s too high cause my fingers keep slipping out of the frets. Any advice?

[bobravenscraft]

Yes sir others give No diagrams. They can't compare to you sir. You are very appreciated AGAIN SIR. THANK YOU LOL

[sijinthomas]

Alright, it took two days for me to finish this video😂 let me go to the 10th🤘

[wadejones]

I stopped playing guitar 6 years ago but I love watching and learning theory just because it's cool . I played over 45 years and just one day, stopped . Lost interest ... I love watching guitar lessons because the guitar is so complex ...

[bobravenscraft]

If you slice thru scales like hot knife thru butter THIS will humble you and make you a man my son
