_ [Dm] Hi, I'm Frank Vignola and welcome to one two three [Gm] jazz guitar
[C#] _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ Now while it's true.
It does take [C] years to master jazz guitar
It's a lot easier to get started [A#] than most people think
_ I've studied with the [C] masters of jazz guitar [Gm] and have been teaching for decades
I've taken that experience and devised a three-step system to [D] get you up and running [Dm] in no time at all and
[A] That's what one two three jazz guitar [Am] is all about
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ down up a common misconception is that you have to learn hundreds of jazz chords and
Hundreds of jazz rhythms just to be able to play a set of jazz songs
Not so if you learn a major seventh a minor seventh and a dominant ninth and three different jazz rhythms
You'll be able to play [E] hundreds of jazz songs
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] Here's how one two three jazz guitar works
There [D] are three sections [Am] the first [A] section I teach you how to jazz up your [Am] chords
I'll teach you three movable [D] chord forms [G] a major seventh a minor seventh and a [E] dominant ninth
[Bm] These three movable chord forms you're going to be able to play [Am] all 12 keys in section 2
I'm going to teach you how [C] to jazz up your rhythms
[Cm] You're gonna learn the three most important [G] rhythms in jazz swing
[Em] Charleston and Latin [Am] jazz and these three rhythms are used in thousands and thousands [F#] of jazz standards
[Am] In _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ [Gm] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
[F#] section 3 [G] I'm going to teach you how to jazz up your [Gm] melodies
Melody is the most important part of [G] playing jazz.
I'm going to show you how to learn a melody
Then [D] how to [Gm] spice up that melody using rhythmic alteration and embellishments
We're gonna [G] work with six great [Am] jazz standards
I'll [Bm] learn the rhythm guitar parts or [F#] the [D] melodies then we're gonna learn how to spice up those [G] melodies using only
The three chords three rhythms three embellishments.
We're gonna learn in this [Gm] course
I prepare charts tabs and notations for everything
We're gonna cover in this course
[Am] But I'd almost prefer if you just used your eyes and ears to follow me through the video lessons
I've also [D] prepared rhythm tracks for everything.
We're gonna go [Gm] through in this course
After you go through the video lessons with me after you play with me along with these tracks
You're gonna be able to call up these tracks [A#] play the rhythm [D] guitar play the [F#] melodies
Spice up your melodies all by [D] yourself
