Play Jazz with Just Six Chords - Gateway to Jazz Guitar

I first saw this video when I was just beginning my guitar journey at 15. I am 28 now and I'm a professional musician. These chords opened the gateway to Swing, Bebop, Samba and Jazz fusion for me, thank you for uploading this. You changed my life, literally!

yeah! 🥰💕🔥🎸

I love it😊

This is a great tutorial. By the way, your videos sir were recommended by a friend of mine who used to be part of the london symphony orchestra.

It’s like watching Bill Nye the jazz guy. Very helpful.

In which country are those hands small?

Why do these videos never explain the tuning?Is this classic Spanish tuning or open tuning?

what an amazing video

FINALLY I run across the ONE guy! I knew you were somewhere out there. Thank you for your brilliant and basic approach!!! You Sir are a Teacher not an instructor. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟💪🎸🏆

You my mahn are a fine elegant gentleman

Wow .. its like someone gave me the key to open a door that's been closed for a very long time

Thank you. Excellent. Keep teaching. Break throughs occur with such instruction!

A good approach to jazz here using the bossa nova guitar as a vehicle to combine melody with chords that sounds pleasant to one's ear. Better than practising tiring, single-note scale exercises that have little or no chordal rhythm underpinning. The latter is the approach of those horrible-sounding fusion jazz guitar players like John Mclaughlin, John Scofield etc. etc. (Carlos Santana being one of the few exceptions). They lack the ability to phrase melodically over any given chord rhythm. They take no breaths when soloing because of this poor approach to music. Glen shows, among other things, a way to phrase melodically on a chord progression of manageable length (4 or 8 bars) with notes from the scale that those chords are built from.

I am a beginner and this is an amazing lesson.
WOW this man is teaching in such a way
That really you can understand. Thank you
Definitely I will try to do this for sure.

do you have any strenght excercises my technique is not very good.

This video got me interested in Jazz. I’m now taking lessons and a, the proud owner of a Ibanez semi-hollow and a Guild arch top!

Play louder

Very coooooooool! THANK YOOO!

Mr. Rose this has been the most easiest and satisfying tutorial ever. I will continue practicing everyday because the melody just sounds so good.

fabulous sir. thank you. massive help😂

Excellent, thanks you are great sir.

I'm sad that you quit now...........I'm really!Ly sad...

Thank you

Delicious stuff. João Gilberto look out. Toledo Ohio has it's own bossa nova boss. Thank you!

watching this the second time, haven't quite got it yet, but will come back for this again.

Very concise, easy to understand, and fun to play

Very beautifull knowledge and the music . Love those patterns🎶✨👍

Wow I’ve been trying to learn jazz for so long and got too bored and confused to actually learn it. This was what I’ve been searching for !

Great video man! I am an old Vegas jazz drummer, learning guitar. There is only a fret marker on the 7th fret, so I put stickers on the top of the neck to know where I am at. LOL. Incredible lesson and happy & healthy new year to you & you're family!

I remember watching this about 9 years ago. Funny how these “locked chord patterns” still work 😉

great lesson! Thx

No way dude, you literally opened my eyes. Thank you! I could finally hear it omg. People tend to make jazz so obfuscated and frustrating. Thank you so much for this!

❤️

Happy Christmas Glen, thank you so much for your dedication to the guitar and the music!

Glen, I would like to buy the video... I see it's available on your website in an E format. Can I get a DVD?

460,000 views? I can certainly see why. Wow, great stuff!

To me, the guitar is most beautiful when it's played like this. Bravo.

This is really friggin helpful, i hope more musicians find this video

Damn this guy is still replying to every comments till now .Nice videos btw

RANDY JUDAH TALK 🎼❤️<><*☑️
Love the tutorial it's going to be very useful in my study too get better on the guitar.

Love the chords you are positioning your hand to play the sound that they're making so beautiful sounds like some of Bebel Gilbertos music.

Now I will be able to make these beautiful sounds on My guitar as well always wanted to it's so exiting thank you very much INDEED.🎼🎸

Glen that was Excellent , thank you ! J... ( Toronto )

jugaste y sufrí in the beginning?

Best lesson ❤️

I don't like when players don't have their muting together. When playing the major scale, all that string ringing out 😖 that's basic skill

This video is 10 years old and still super useful. Thank bill nye the jazz theory guy!

Thanks, can finally play something jazzy

This video is perfect for the kind of music I would like to play in my first album! Next comes the piano!

This is Great!
