***************************************
What are tension chords ?
The basic jazz chords go up to the 7th, ie maj 7, 7, m7, m7b5, dim.
A tension chord includes the notes above the octave, namely 9th, 11th and 13th.
The following tension chords for guitar are covered in this video :
Major chord : maj9, maj13, 6/9, 6
Dominant chords : 9, 11, 13, 9sus4
Minor chords : m9, m11, m6, m13
Since the half-diminished and diminished chords already need all available strings, we cannot have extension guitar chords for them.
The chords in this video are jazz guitar chords for beginners as well as for advanced players, who haven't been much into jazz.
Tension chords for jazz guitar are an absolute must for the inquiring jazz guitarist. They add colorful tones to your playing!
Since this is a jazz guitar comping lesson, we'll go no higher than the b-string. So when you comp the melody of any jazz standard, you will use these jazz guitar chords.

I really like this approach but have trouble with all the "grips". Is there a comprehensive chord grid chart that co-insides with this lesson. Or is that a dumb question? I understand the importance of creating the chords from the degrees of the scale. I grasp the voice leading principle but I find myself "cheating" the chords and just hitting the melody which is fine but I never learn the whole chords. Therefore I struggle mightily to sound as good as I want, even though the melody is correct. I am currently learning "Blue Skies" so thank you for the excellent(best tutorials I have found anywhere). Any one out there who is more advanced than I I welcome your input.
@@jameswarren7133 What I would suggest is first, practice playing the chords by themselves. Any new chord takes time to get used to. The next step is to practice switching between 2 chords. It also helps to call out the name of the chord as you're playing it, that way you connect the name with the sound you're hearing. The final step is to pick a song to learn that either uses these chords or you substitute these chords into it. It's a combination of gaining the muscle memory and the ear training.

Thanks, I will give that a try
This is THE BEST jazz chord tutorial I've EVER seen. Bravo!! You just made sense of something I've been trying to figure out by ear *without playing my guitar for 13 years due to spine injury. NOW I understand how players choose what voicings and tensions to add to create so many different but similar voicings over ONE chord mentioned on a lead sheet or after figuring out the main progression from the bass player, e.t.c.
What a fabulous lesson!! THANK YOU!!
Mannes me happy to see my tutorial was helpful 😊. Keep swinging 🎸 🎶
Sandra, You are the best teacher I’ve ever met in youtube. Thanks.. Austria, the hometown for every music!!
Wow, thank you! Glad you enjoy the tutorials and they're helpful. Keep swingin, my friend!
She's good...I love the way she can explain the logic of the chord tones.
She says thank you for your kind words 😊❤
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman No problem...thank you. Hey, do you know where I can Guitar Pro tab for the harmonic, altered, and diminished scales? I have this tool called a FretLite guitar, which lights up the fretboard using a Bluetooth connection to Guitar Pro 7.0+. The problem is that the company doesn't have much content so the user must go hunting for tablature (however I think that GP7 reads/imports PDFs. Keep up the good work...these lessons are top-notch and I really appreciate you sharing the knowledge.
Finally! I've been waiting so long for this one. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Best teacher ever!!!
SirAndyDee Oh you're too sweet!
This is the best tutorial on tension chords bar none! Your analogies really help to see the whole picture. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge!
Vielen Dank! You answered Years of theory questions in half an hour. It is often said, "The most intelligent people explain things in the simplest way possible." I believe this is true. Based upon that, i believe you are the Einstein of jazz guitar teachers.
Remley Einstein? LOL and WOW 😊
Simple and elegant explanation of music theory after J.S. Bach. I've learned as much from this video as I have from 3 Mel Bay books and 27 years of lessons. You say the same information as everyone else, but in a way that is concise and sticks in my memory. Simply the best.
Remley - I agree with you 100% and couldn't have said it any better myself. Sandra's Jazz lessons have been the best thing that has happened to me since my burning desire to learn Jazz guitar. That burning desire started 45 years ago!
You're the Best!! Thank you so much😉
Sandra, I have been playing guitar since I was 9 years old, nearly 50 years total. No one has ever explained things so clearly and directly to the point as you. Especially Jazz chords. And in this video you answered every question that came to my mind about chords, as if you were reading my mind. Don't change a thing about how you teach. You are an absolute natural! I just want to reach through the computer screen and give you a big hug and a kiss on the cheek to show my appreciation. And I have noticed I am not the only one that has said this about your teaching approach. You have been a true blessing to me and my quest to be a Jazz guitarist!
stringbender57 Oh, I could need a hug for sure! I'm sick with a high fever. I hope my hubby can edit this week's video, bc I can't.
Same with me. I started playing 47 years ago; played everything by ear that I loved. Then I started listening to Zappa in my twenties. Anyway... Been studying jazz/ jazz blues for some time, and you are the best teacher; you, Robben Ford, and Tim Lerch: you're all master players and master teachers.
Brava!!
Eternal thanks for sharing your wisdom so freely.
This lesson! Answered SO MANY QUESTIONS I've been trying to find the answer to for YEARS! (How do jazz players play so many chord voicings over one chord?? This is it! Yes! A!😅)
Your lessons are fabulous! Thank you for posting them.
Doug Preece Thank YOU for watching them!
Absolutely no need to search for other tutorials, you are the best, much appreciated for what you are giving.
You're the sweetest, Viktor ❤️
Sandra Sherman I a business major finishing my Bachelors degree. I joke around a lot but deeply appreciate the ample amount of value you offer. Thank you.
Thank you! ❤️ Keep up the good humor 😊

Thank you, Leo! It's never too late to do what we love! Keep swinging, my fr3 and stay safe! ❤️
Greetings from up a cold Spanish mountain. Thank you for an excellent lesson. I have struggled with chord names for years but you have made it all much clearer although I need to watch the video a few more times! You have a great teaching style and I am learning a lot from your videos.
Emlyn Griffith Oh, that's so nice of you. Thanks so much! Hope it gets a little warmer soon on that spanish mountain.
This is so useful! Thank you!
Thank you! Glad to be of help!
Turning complex into easy: wonderful explanation. What is needed by beginners approaching jazz! great teacher Sandra
Mille grazie, Nicola! ❤️
I am just seeing this video. I am glad it is still around. You really are a very good teacher, so straight forward and logical in the way you explain things. I also appreciate that I can pay by individual lesson and song.
Thank you, Wayne! Soon you will be able to roam my webstore for individual lessons 😊
My beautiful teacher🤓Hello... thank you so much...God bless you always...🎶🎶
I stumbled across this channel a couple of days ago, brilliant. I’ve seen so many people refer to comping and finally somebody demystifying it. Thank you! You are really helping me from making that transition from playing “Sweet Child of Mine” and “Honky Tonk Woman” to Jazz... you and Jens Larsen have got me hooked!
Welcome to the jazz ride, Daniel! Keep swinging 😊🎸🎵

thank you for your help.
Not only very informative and well explained but also entertaining, thanks again Sandra :-)
Thanks 😊❤️
Hahaha!!!😂😂😂 The 11th (always fighting with the 3rd), is likea mother in law!!! That's PERFECT! 🤣 You are SUCH a great teacher! I cannot even really play now, due to spinal injury, and I watch all your videos. (I'm starting to play a little bit again... Maestro Vai taught me excellent warm up exercises. I tend to want to to start playing everything I played for 30 years, until 17 yrs ago... and everything I've learned since then... but my fingers on my left hand have nerve damage and my mind is two bars ahead "playing" in my mind... and my fingers are still working out the "how"... must be patient. Very patient. But until I can play again... Django used only two fingers... where there's a will!! Until then, I will continue watching you play. You're an excellent jazz guitar teacher. I never played jazz guitar (drums), but my main instrument is guitar, so...
I'll still stop talking now...
But dang; I used to teach my students intervals of the major scale using HOUSES (intervals 3&4 and 7&1[octave] have no grass between them; they're like my old brownstones in NYC).
I LOVE the idea of half° and fully diminished (diminished) chords being small apartments where no one else fits! That's SUCH a brilliant visual. Thank you!
And the 11th (4th) fighting with the 3rd, like a mother in law!!! 😂😂😂
Hoüe you'll fully recover to a point where you can play the things you already hear.
Thanks for the brilliant metaphor with the houses without grass in between. Thais really cool!
OMG! This is great! I was hoping for something like this and here it is.
You weren't the only one. I got quite some twisted for this one.
Well, it's an intruiging topic, I guess :-)
That's exactly what I need in my life, tension! 😄 I'm looking forward to this lesson when I have time over the weekend. Sounds like I'll be learning a lot again, from your careful, and well chosen approach to helping us intermediate level players. Thanks for all!!!
abejacgot Wait for the altered chords. Even more tension in your life, hahaha 😊
Guitarversum Sandra Sherman You sadist😄, Bring it on! ...and thanks
abejacgot I became a teacher to torture you guys, lol.
Really good lesson, thanks!!!
Glad you like it! Keep swinging 😊
Great lesson by a really good teacher, both in terms of knowledge and communication skills. I picked up a couple of new things, but this was mostly review for me. I'd love to see two things: 1) some more advanced topics, and 2) see you cut loose and show off some of the hot licks I'm sure you play with ease. In addition to the knowledge you share, I get a lift just from knowing that there are caring, sharing people like you who enjoy helping me along my musical journey. BIG THANKS!
David Gerber Thanks for your feedback David. It's very much appreciated. I'll create more advanced lessons soon. Stay tuned! Thank for watching and the compliments.
So Cool!
thank you once again
Thank you making my musicality beautiful!
So glad you enjoy it ❤️

thank you so much, sandra!
You're very welcome, my friend ❤️
Thumbs up Sandra!. Greeting from Southern California. Best Explanation i've ever seen on youtube. I've learnt a lot from you.
Thanks so much for your post!
Huan Doan Thank you so much! Trying my best to keep it simple. Not always that easy, since I'm a non-native speaker. I tend to babble and stutter a lot, lol.
Correction - your command of English is excellent. I cringed when you mentioned an open 'C' chord as a "Cowboy" chord. My teacher of forty (or more) years back used that exact phrase when I first auditioned for him. I did the best chord solo in my repertoire, and he said, "Kid, you have to forget that cowboy music!" You brought a tear to my eye today as well as teaching me something new.
I really like the vibes in your videos. Like sometimes i get lazy but you really motivate me to just practice and practice. I think that's what makes a good teacher, who actually makes you wanna pick up your instrument.😊
What a great compliment! Thank you! Keep swingin 🎵🎸

Spent this morning with this lesson. So many to catch up on, but I'm enjoying the process thanks to you. I really appreciate the clarity of your explanations and asides. Thanks once again for adding tension to my life :) From a New York student (and subscriber of course).
Thanks, Abraham! Just make sure to rekease the tension once in a while 😉.

Thank you Sandra, I just discovered your channel - you have such a great approach with your explanations - I learned a lot by watching this today - I'll be back for more!
Awesome! Makes me happy to know I can help you along your jazz ride 😊
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman Thank you for the prompt response Sandra, I'm going to dig into more of your lessons having to do with building great lines and taking a target-tone based approach to improvisation. To my level of understanding at this point in time, there's nothing like having an extensive knowledge of chords and how they're constructed, as well as knowing how a particular scale relates to the position of the chord and the tones contained within. From there, understanding the relative tension and importance of those tones in building your improvisation really helps to develop an "ear" for what tones sound right and where they fit in a given progression, all while making it rhythmically interesting. It's a lot to comprehend and we all bring our own unique style and abilities to the process, so thanks again for doing a great job in serving such a large and diverse audience with an obvious joy for what you do.
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman Actually, I do have a couple of requests - if you haven't done so already, can you show to apply these chords to an example lead sheet while holding up the rhythm, and can you also show how you could build a walking bass line as well? Thank you
Terima kasih banyak guru
You're the best🎸😃
That's really sweet of you, thanks! 🧡
Obrigado por nos ensinar de forma bastante didática!!!
Muito obrigada! ❤️
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman the 6/9 chords remind me of garota de Ipanema
*Austrian country music we don't like that in jazz" You are on a roll . ❤️
Tahnk you very much dear Sandra. I got a little dizzy in this lesson🤪 , but I'll be ok in a couple of days 😄🤗
This really takes time! Often a few months later, when you learn a different topic, suddenly the light bulb moment is here and you understand the connection.
Greetings from 🇻🇪 ❤️
Hey Sandra .... I had a lot of fun with your "Tension Chord Lesson" ... what a fantastic lesson.. How about doing one with "Altered Chords"? Thanks for listening. All the best from Germany to Austria. Stephan
Great idea! ❤️
I would love to hear you explain the families with bass on the D string. Sometimes it is good to carry the melody there. And more vertical movement options. Thank you.
G Gutierrez These are the comping voicing. Maybe I'll do a follow up for the upper chords.
How about i suggest you make some videos on Jazz tunes and explaining the tensions behind it?
Super canal vielen dank
bis zu schauen
Thanks Sandra I love your lessons... can you advise me when purchasing your pdf's come through but I can't get the backing tracks any idea what I may be doing wrong !!! looking forwards to more lessons
Hi Lorraine,
Tasks for your kind words! ❤️
There are no backing tracks to this lesson! There are only backing tracks when you hear them in the video too. And they are always sold seperatly and are also included in the "Full Package". But when you click on the TABS link you get what it says, the tabs only.
"We ain't got no fingers left..." Story of my life! I know all these forms, and building above the first octave, but have never had anyone explain where and what substitutions could be used, and why. Thank you.
Well, we also ain't no pianists. They have 11 fingers and use all of them simultaniously, lol.
Super Jazz Unterricht riesen Kompliment lg Klaus
