When I was first learning jazz chords, I remember one day I made a connection on the fretboard that changed my playing forever.

I was soloing over a jazz blues tune using Mixolydian over each 7th chord, as you do.

When I switched to comping over the 12-bar jazz blues progression, it suddenly dawned on me:

 

“If I can solo with notes from Mixolydian, then surely I can comp with notes from Mixolydian over 7th chords.”

 

That one thought lead me down a path of modal chord exploration that blew my fretboard wide open and supercharged my comping creativity.

Because I had such a powerful experience with these chords, I want you to have that same transformation on your guitar.

So, grab your guitar, because in today’s lesson I’m sharing with you those exact same easy to play and essential modal jazz chords.

The best part…

You can cover most of the fretboard with just two easy to play modal chord shapes.

How cool is that?!

First you learn the “home base” chord, which will be your reference point for using these modal jazz chords in your comping and chord soloing.

Next, you extend out from the home base chord using just one shape in 4 positions as you cover from the 3rd to 11th frets over Bb7.

To finish, you experiment with Lenny Breau style passing chords and McCoy Tyner tension and release chromatic chords with these modal jazz voicings.

And…

You do so in a private lesson setting where you and I play together in the lesson.

Have fun as you learn and immediately apply modal chord shapes to your comping and chord soloing in this creative & interactive lesson.
