Jazz Guitar Basics (Patreon)

Even if you're not that into jazz, 7th chords and other jazz concepts can be useful in other styles like metal and rock. Just ask Guthrie Govan. 

In this post you'll learn jazz guitar basics. The jazz standard, "Autumn Leaves", has all the most popular jazz guitar chord voicings in one piece. 

Chords:

Am7-D7-Gmaj7-Cmaj7-F#m7b5-B7-Em7

Once you get the chords going, try improvising over the backing track below. I've included 7 scales that work over this Iconic progression.
