- Learning The Diatonic Jazz Chords for any scale is an important part of exploring what harmonies and melodies are contained in the scales.
In this video I am going to go over how to construct diatonic 7th chords and a few exercises to help you learn and play them. This should help you get started playing songs like jazz standards.
It is also very important to realize that the diatonic chords are the same as the diatonic arpeggios and you need to know and use your solos.

I think Diatonic Chords and Arpeggios are one of the most important things to know and really have in your system. What do you think? 🙂
Yes. Each scales has different diatonic Chords. Could you please show me what is the most basic scales for Jazz
@@ThuanNguyen-go8cd he has a video called 3 most important jazz scales
Thinking of these the Chords and Arpeggios Diatonically are huge. Especially when slicing up solos.
Implanting arpeggios in my fingers did wonders for my ears. Three years ago they were a hassle, now they are like having the keys to the castle.
Unbelievable gem
You're very welcome! I am glad you like it! 🙂
The second half of this video is fascinating, I'm not sure I've seen this information (set up this way) before. I learned another version of the diatonic chord scale with the root notes moving from strings 6-4 in a box. C-6, d-6, e-5, F-5, G-5, a-4, B-4, C-4. The scales and arpeggios were all built from the same major scale pattern working up through the box. Just a different approach but it set up several different chord shapes and emphasized the shifting intervals in the different scales. My teacher at the time felt staying in a playable box was a very efficient way to learn and play for a beginner, I was just sitting in the chair and I did what he told me to do... 😎. Thank you as usual for all your time and insights
Cool! Checking out the diatonic chords and arpeggios in a position is just as important! 🙂 Glad you like the video!
Thanks Jens. That’s the clearest explanation of secondary cadences I have seen. Very useful. I tried it and found some very musical ideas while practicing.
Thank you very much Joe! I am glad you find it useful!
Thanks for the great lesson and providing subtitles, it's easier to understand for me since English is not my primary language, you explained it very well and deserves more subscribers. Keep making great content Jens!
I was always upset that I could play the non-inverted or dropped voicing M7 shape, but couldn’t play the equivalent m7 shape. I wrote it off as being impossible to play unless I had a very small scale neck, but here I see you playing that shape along with the dom7 and diminished7 shapes too. I’m as impressed as I am jealous hahaha.
Don't worry about it! They not practical voicings at all. Just learn the Drop2's and using triads for 7th chords. It will get you much further!
Back to the fundamentals is always good ! Thanks for this sharing
Thanks Franck! 👍🙂
Jens, I love how your lessons are geared to different skill levels. It's nice to be able to pick up a few things from even a basic lesson like this. Thanks!
Thank you very much Jume!
If you’re a guitar teacher, improvise chord changes while your students play their scales. You learn lots and most students find it fun.
Well, if your students play you should pay attention though? That's what you are getting paid to do above everything else right.
Jens Larsen In addition to playing with a metronome, it is helpful for students to learn to play their scales along with live comping. And, I wouldn’t be much of a musician if I couldn’t pay attention to a duet part while I play. Perhaps less attention is available when I am playing my part (I am not giving them my full attention). But, they are paying me for experiences beyond just learning scales. Once they’ve learned their scales, they should learn to do something with them right?
Sure! You should teach the way you want to teach.
To me your (original) comment sounds like a teacher trying to entertain himself in the lesson while the student plays scales, but that's just how it sounds to me of course and that does not have to be the case.
My students don't really lack opportunity to play together with me or use their scales in the lesson, so that is not a concern anyway.
Hi Jens - keep going - you are the best as a jazz teacher on the whole you tube - and I just wonder how somebody with 6 subscribers on his you tube chanel and without any videos to see his playing or teaching , but he can roll this kind of discussion with you ..... ??
Thanks Cseh! Actually I think Danny is allowed to have an opinion and I don't find him rude or disrespectful (certainly not by CZcams comment standards 😄) But I do appreciate your support!
Thanks mr
Your information has seriously improved my understanding. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you!!
You're welcome!
Some great practice exercises here,I really like the one where you are going through the cadences in the diatonic key. thanks Jens!
Thanks Nicky!
I love this concept and i have seen an older lesson by u i believe. Fantastic stuff. Thanks Lars. DAMN Arpeggios. I want to be able to play them on the fly anywhere on the fret board...... practice practice practice.
Thanks! I do have a really old video on this material but then as arpeggios where it is chords in this one 🙂
For me playing diatonic arpeggios in scales and also through songs where really helpful in being able to find what I needed.
Beautiful. Thank you very much ❤
You're welcome 😊
Love your teachings
Thank you 🙂
Thank you. I am self teaching me this chord. Struggling to stretch my hand for some chords...
You might find this study guide useful jenslarsen.nl/how-to-learn-to-play-jazz-chords-study-guide/
@@JensLarsen thank you! Will practice hard to get them right!
Really useful advices and knowledge thx!
Glad you find it useful 🙂
Great Lesson! Thanks Jens :)
Thank you Simon!
Great video lesson today Jens, all gold :)
Thank you very much Pete! 🙂
Great lesson!! Thanks maestro, saludos from México city
Glad you like it 🙂👍
Great vid!
Great lesson Jens!!
Hi Jens.. I love .. In the cavern of Zen Wow Wow.. !!! Plas plas plas
Thank you! 🙂
How should I go about knowing all these chords? Do I just remember each shape, or remember the notes and build chords each time? Hope that made sense
Maybe you should start here? czcams.com/video/P-P-gM7VJx4/video.html
@@JensLarsen I’ll check it out. Thank you!
great video
Thank you! 🙂
251 for minor chord is : IIm7b5, V7b9, Im
251 for major chord is :
IIm, V79, Imaj7
What 251 for dominant and half dim chord?
That depends on the context, mostly the key of the piece. Often it follows what chord would be there in the key if it is not a diatonic chord, but that is not always the case.
@@JensLarsen example, if playing in the key of Cmaj, if I want to 251 (secondary cadence) to the Bm7b5, what should I play for the 2 and 5?
I try C#m7b5, F#7b9, Bm7b5,
and after that let say I want to play secondary cadence to Dm, so I play Em7b5, A7b9, Dm7, then G7(9) to resolve back to Cmaj7.. is that good?
@@Danumurti18 Yes, that would work :)
@@JensLarsen thank you 🙏🏻
Hi im a little confused on how me moves down in 5ths...can someone explain this please
Can you give me a time in the video? 🙂
In example 8, while it says we're moving by up by 4ths or down by 5ths, we have to move by a tritone from F to B or else we would move to Bb which we cannot construct a diatonic chord on.
B to F is a diatonic 5th interval and F to B is a diatonic 4th interval in C major 🙂
@@JensLarsen I see - what is the difference between a diatonic 5th and a normal 5th?
@@cuppajoeman8569 perfect fifth is always 2 and a half tones away (C note to G note, henceforth B to F#). Diatonic fifth is the 5th interval but is limited to the scale of reference (C major). So if you want to move by fifth down - or fourths up from Fmaj, Bm7b5 is what you'll get.
Hope it helps
Hi Jens, or anyone who knows... why do you use a G7 rather than a Gmaj7? is it purely because it sounds better or am I missing something? Thankyou.
In a II V I in C major? Maybe give me a time in the video? 🙂
@@JensLarsen Yes -
Just at min 2.05.
I probably just have to learn more and it will make sense, but I was under the impression that within the scale chords of notes, it's just majors and minors with a diminished on the 7th, didn't realize there was a dominant on the 5th. Thanks! 😀
@@heathcampbell290 You need to learn to construct diatonic 7th chords in a major scale by stacking 3rds.

High 5 Jens! :)
Hi 5! 👍🙂
Is it same as tertian harmony?
Hi Jens . Thanks for another useful lesson. Where is the link to the PDF, it's missing on your Web Page?
Oeps, didn't realize! It's there now 🙂
Thanks, that was fast!
Do you have these lessons as files for Guitar Pro 7 on your Patreon page also?
Yes I do :)
Hello sir, is this a good place to start? Do you recommend using a guitar pick?
I would recommend using a pick and you can maybe browse through this playlist and see if something fits you: czcams.com/video/PyHXN3Vxhz4/video.html 🙂
@@JensLarsen thank you sir, I will keep up my practice. I've been playing guitar for sometime now, but I learn a lot by myself alone. I better start with the basics. Any recommendations sir?
Learn your major scales and diatonic chords and arpeggios. Start learning songs :)
@@JensLarsen I can play a few jazz stds (fly me to the moon, autumn leaves) I had a friend of mine teach me those 2. I live in sri lanka and jazz isn't at all big here. Very few jazz instrumentalists are here. Well yeah, I want to learn jazz. Been fascinated ever since I've heard jazz
@@JensLarsen all the major scales? Arpeggios I'm still not sure of.
I need some songs to.practise
Blue Bossa? Take The A train?
Jens Larsen is this a pieces or song
antaz nakarmi They are songs, jazz standards 🙂
ok i try them
On the G7, you play a bar chord and you mute the A string with your third finger right ?
Can you give me a time stamp in the video?
@@JensLarsen 9:40, when you play a ii V I in C, Dm G7 C. What fingering would you use for the G7 chord ?
@@1TreukFlyyy I am just not plucking the A string (since I play with my fingers)
@@JensLarsen Oh I see. How would you play it if you would strum instead ?
@@1TreukFlyyy not play a bar. You can play the 4 notes without one
What II, V for the target chord B Diminished?
Is a dim chord major or minor?
In your I learned ii and IV chords for the target chords is Major7 and minor7. I still don’t know what type of chords are applied to if target is half-dim or Dim7. Thanks for your answers.
is a half diminished chord a major chord or a minor chord? 🙂 Just answer that, then you know...
Half dim is minor. Dim has 3 minor 3rd. But I am not sure it is minor chords. Thanks
Can we use minor 6 or minor 11 as ii chords? Dom #9,#12,13...as V chords? And what are the appropriate pairs?
Nathan
Jens
Big brain power
my hands aren't big enough for those lower register 7th chords lol
you should change the tabs to the top of the screen...... cheers from chile :D
You could consider it ear-training? 😄
