_ _ _ _ Hello, _ guitar players of YouTube.
My name is Camilo, _
and welcome to my first YouTube guitar lesson.
_ _ _ I'd like to start things relatively simple today
by showing you just a few jazz blues comping chords
in the key of G.
_ _ _ The chords I've written out I think can really add
a sort of different level of interest
to a standard _ _ 1-4-5 blues progression
and just more of a jazz kind of feel.
So _ rather than just, you know, your basic
_ and _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ [Db] sounding like status quo for 12 bars,
I hope that after you learn the chords in this lesson
it might inspire you to create some more
kind of jazzy, jazz blues sounding _ _ licks and solo ideas
_ or even just provide a more interesting backdrop
to improvise over.
_ _ So, that being said, I think I'll zoom in on the guitar neck now
and explain all the chords in this progression. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Okay, I think what I'll do now is play through
the whole progression nice and slowly _
so you can follow the on-screen chords
and perhaps play along after you've learned them all.
_ [G] _ _
I should mention that to get a kind of _ mellow, jazz sounding, _
kind of more muted tone,
it's a good idea to use the flesh of the thumb
_ [E] _ _
[Em] and just _ _ _ _ _ _
[Gbm] _ _ [Gm] _ _ do kind of little relaxed brush strokes.
_ _ If you're going to try and do [Em] that with the pick, _ _ _ _
_ there's just a bit too much [Bb] attack there
and with the soloist playing over the top of these chords,
_ _ you'd end up creating too many kind of jarring frequencies
and the whole sound would just be a bit muddy.
_ So, _ yeah, have a go at just _ _ relaxed little [Em] brush strokes
_ like that with the thumb. _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] Okay, so I'll play through this whole progression nice and slow. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Dm] _ [Ebm] _ [Em] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ [Gm] _ _ _ _
_ [Gbm] _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Ebm] _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ [Fm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ [Abm] _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ [Em] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
_ [Db] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ [Am] _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ [D] _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [G]
Okay.
_ _ [C] _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ [Gb] _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ [Gm] _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ [Ebm] _ [Em] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ So as I'm sure you can see there,
with relaxed jazz blues progressions like this one,
it's not about having perfect right hand technique
and being very articulate. _
It's more just getting that kind of relaxed, rhythmic, _ comping feel.
_ So [G] _
_ [C] if _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
