Minor Arpeggios - minor Major 7 - Explore 5 Essential Chord Sounds - Jazz Guitar Lesson

The minMaj7 arpeggio is a beautiful Minor sound and one of the essential jazz arpeggios. Most of us probably associate with the Tonic minor chord in Melodic minor. You can however use it in a lot of other places as I will go over here today!

In this video I am going to take a minMaj7 arpeggio and show you how you can use it in 5 different contexts on different chords. All the examples are using chord progressions from well know standards so that you have a place where you can put the minor major 7 arpeggio to use right away!

Thanks Jens, I love how you've given us some more advanced... or maybe more interesting colours to play with over changes. I really liked how you applied it to common standards too. It makes it easy to really apply the concept straight into playing.

I have been working on a lesson on counter melodies in jazz comping is that something you guys think might be interesting?

Been working through this for a few days took me a while to get my head around some of the concepts but feel secure with maj min arpeggio and where to go with them
Thanks for the hard work and great lessons!

Hi Jens, I really wonder how do you warm up when you practice guitar at home and before you play on stage, can you do a video about that? Thank you, Master!!!

[avskeeters]

Jens,

I think that your videos are incredible, and they've been absolutely invaluable as I've begun my journey into the world of jazz guitar. So, thank you!

I was wondering if you would recommend learning arpeggios before scales, or learning both simultaneously?

Did you ever tried George Russel's idea of the Lydian Chromatic Concept?

I don't want to look ignorant but why the fuzzy over the nut? I love your lessons. I'm a blues-Rock player however I find s lot I can use. Thank you
