JA-020 • The Jazz Chord Concept (Guitar Lesson)
In this guitar lesson I will explain the “Jazz Chord Concept”, how basic chord substitution works at a basic level. The following leseons will show you up close how to play many of the chords I use in this clip.
Taught by Justin Sandercoe.
Full support at the web site where you will find hundreds of lessons on a wide range of subjects, and all the scales and chords that you will ever need! There is a great forum too to get help, no matter what the problem.
And it is all totally free, no bull. No sample lessons, no memberships. Just tons of great lessons 
To get help with your lesson or song look up the number at the start of the video title (like ST-123 or whatever) on the Lesson Index page.

Could you by any …
Could you by any chance explain what you mean about that 2nd interval? And I had no problem about being wrong don’t worry about it thanks for the help besides the fact that you’ve now confuzzled me about this 2nd interval! XD Anyway why are we debating this on a Jazz video this is silly! I apologize for question your knowledge.

but you said it had …
but you said it had it had a major third and a 5th, nothing about the 2nd interval in the chord which even though is less important, you only gave half the information.
flatten the third works but as i said before it wont help you out on further extensions if you dont even know what the intervals are
i was trying to help

less common,

He’s not wrong, you …
He’s not wrong, you are just using a different reference for each note, which is a less common way to describe what is essentially the same thing

C-E is a major …
C-E is a major third , E to G is a minor 3rd
thats what i mean by on top
as for more than one third in a chord YES, thats why they are called triads (not because they have 3 notes)
just like quartal chords are built on intervals of 4ths

What do you mean by …
What do you mean by “on top”- more than one third in the same chord?

There are a lot of other places on line where you can find a mate. This place we’re talking music.

Use the form 1 3 5 …
Use the form 1 3 5 with 1 being the “root” note. For instance, a C major chord would be C(root) E(3rd) G(5th). To change this to a minor chord flat the 3rd (half step lower) so you’d have C Eb G.
July 24th, 2009 at 9:40 am
wrong, a major …
wrong, a major chord is a major 3rd from root to 3rd, with a minor 3rd on top
minor is a minor 3rd, with major 3rd on top
diminished is minor 3rd with minor 3rd on top
augmented is major 3rd with major 3rd on top
simple theory harmony, your logic will confuse you on altered chords and extensions

There’s three …
There’s three notes that make a Major chord the Tonic, (Route note), the major 3rd, and the major 5th or Tonic, Mediant and Dominant e.g The three notes that make a C major chord are CEG if you flatten the major 3rd, in this case E, you get the minor chord, Cminor CEbG. So, really the difference is in short terms, one note or a semitone! Plus one sounds a lot more cheerful, while minor is a lot more un happy. The key’s in the name think Majority (more) and Minority (less)! =D
