Jazz Guitar Lesson - A Simple Jazz Progression 2

Let’s review the chords we learned earlier - GM7, G#dim7, Am7, and D7.

Now let’s add on another section. Here are the chords - Bm7, E7, Am7, & D7. Once again, to comp or play rhythm with these chords, I am using my fingers. My thumb is playing the lowest note of the chord and the other fingers each playi a particular string. While playing the new section, I am going to hold each chord for 4 beats instead of 2.

Once again Here’s a variation on this rhythm figure. Play the thumb first and then the other fingers. I am muting the strings after I play by resting my fingers on the string. Watch the video to get a feel for this. Now let's put the two sections together.
