- I'm excited to present a new educational video I made to teach string players to really OWN their jazz harmony and how to 'comp' (create improvised accompaniment) in jazz styles on the violin!
This video teaches you how to build the main types of 7th chords and how they fit within the classic ii-V-I progression found all over jazz music.. then how to actually strum them as chords!
If you're interested in playing jazz on a string instrument I think you'll really find this useful.
Let me know what you guys think or if you have any questions!
Video originally created for my good friends at Jazz Memes (I hid a few in the video)

Amazing the concert yesterday was great, I’ll follow your lessons because I always wanted to play jazz and I never can but this lessons are amazing thank you for sharing your expertise 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Wow! I’m so happy I found your channel! I am finding opportunities to play violin in genres other than classical, and I am ready to learn as much as I can. New sub. I really enjoy theory and I have worked through the real books using my keyboard. I never thought of doing the same with my violin. Duh!
Fantastic! The world needs more violinists who can read and understand lead sheets!
this is even better than an actual paided lesson, love how u explain in each step.
I really hope that I could become a jazz violinist, love the style so much but I only know classical :(
Wow!!! Thank you for this wonderful lesson Steffen!!!!
You teach fantastic!! You open me a uge wold of music and harmony 🤩
I was exactly sitting yesterday and trying to find some harmony in the violin and now I see this lesson I'm so excited!!!
Thank you so much!!!
Wonderful! I'm glad you found it useful!

this was helpful, thanks. MM in ATL
Nice, Steffen. Super clear and useful.
Excellent, thank you!
Such an interesting video! I’ve been wanting to get into playing jazz on the cello for a long time but have found very few helpful resources like this one! You break down the concepts in a way that makes it very easy to follow along with and understand
Go for it! These shell voicing shapes definitely transfer over!
Thanks for making this, Steffen!!!!
this is gem, thanks
This was really helpful. Thank you!
Thank you so much
Thanks a lot for this explanation. I need to try this, gonna check the looper right now, must have!
Terrific.
WOW, that was great..;perhaps one of the best jazz building videos that I have seen...mercy beaucoup
Very well explained and presented. Well done!
Thanks!

Absolutely! Be sure to look at the dissertation at www.cutt.ly/DMA for a ton of more organized charts and info

The single finger has to remember that there is another string making sound 🙂

Thank you for this wonderful lesson! On your 5-string Violin, do you tune ALL strings to perfect 5ths? Or, do you sweeten the tuning?
Personally I tune to all 5ths, but there are definitely some fiddlers out there who use a wide variety of scordatora tuning! This lesson is definitely geared towards understanding how a mandolin or violin works through a perfect 5th system though.
Glad you found it helpful!

why do you take of your E's
Are you asking why I avoid the E string on most of these chords? The lower, thicker strings ring more when strumming, and it's good to try and allow the harmony range to be below the melody for balance reasons.
I already knew this. Im just too stupid to apply it.
😆You can do it! Get yourself a simple looper and force yourself to learn and record the chords!
Please work on understanding the significance of dB and why your output should be in the range of from -6 to -3 dB so your audience can actually hear it without maxing everything out Learn to watch your meters. It it were a drink you wouldn't even be half full.
Why did you have to word this in the rudest way possible?
The audio on this sounded absolutely fine to me - volume less than half way up on my phone and I can hear every word and note perfectly.
Love this, wish there was more. 🙏🤌
Working on it!
@@SteffenZeichner Brilliant. Am checking out the website now, thanks a million. 👏
