Intro To Jazz Rhythm Guitar

Description

This tutorial is an introduction to jazz style rhythm guitar.

We'll cover the three primary characteristics of jazz as a distinct genre of music: sophisticated harmony, swing rhythm and improvisation. We'll learn how the essence of rhythm guitar in jazz style is playing a wide variety of extended chord voicings in a swing rhythm.

We'll learn to play these chords in two different octaves, we have two different registers (high and low) to pick from, so we have options to use in order to improvise.

Finally, we'll have some backing track play alongs to test out our new jazz rhythm guitar chords!
