Jazz Standard: Blue Bossa - Chords - Kenny Dorham (Guitar Lesson JA-540)

Guitar Lesson Tutorial: Blue Bossa - Kenny Dorham
In this guitar lesson we're looking at the chords for the jazz standard Blue Bossa written by Kenny Dorham. Make sure you check out the lesson on how to play the bossa rhythm on the web site.

LOTS MORE INFO ON THE WEB SITE including recommended listening, tip sheets and much more!

It's nearly all 100% free and card details are not needed to register. You have everything to gain, and nothing to lose! My theory course is the best on the web (and one of the very few paid parts of the site) and it's awesome - if your theory is lacking and you wanna fix it - that's the place to go! At my store, you'll find a huge range of super cool guitar themed t-shirts, all my (paper) books, merch and lots more 🙂 and we got proper fun backing tracks for you to jam along with too!

Hey, Justin. Just wanted to say, you are really the teacher that got me hooked on playing guitar after many, many years of having a guitar around the house and barely knowing 3-4 chords, much less playing through a whole song in proper time (and groove). I drifted away from your channel once I got the hang of things, 2-3 months after serious study. After 7 months, am now truly addicted to guitar (min.3 hrs pratice a day, 8hr/day weekends?) and music theory and just started getting into jazz. (I'm an attorney in real life but can't wait to get the day's work done to get back to my guitar....)So, decided to check you out again. Guess I will stick around longer this time. Thank you so much for your dedication and humility!

Got this song stuck in my head. I'm so glad this video exists so I can learn it!

[andrewjones]

I love the options between the barre and the open . This really works because I can pick and chose a version of this which I can remember when I need it.. Thanks.

[AshAlmond]

I used to hate jazz. I am now loving it. Thanks Justin!

[Aboaboaboxx]

Thank you for your altruism, Mr. Sandercoe!

I understand "Chord Substitution" and you are very good at showing the correct alternate chords and bass lines. It just would be nice if you would of played the song without stopping while you were calling out the chords. Great channel

[sturried]

[DiegoStrat]
