  • Guitar Chord Construction - Theory And Basic Shapes - Essential Guide

    This lesson explains how jazz guitar chords are built and how to play them using common positions. This will help you understand, identify, build and play one of the most important types of chords.

    All the shapes proposed in this tutorial are movable and playable anywhere on the fretboard. So, try to play them in all twelve keys.

    To simplify learning, the voicings used in this course ensure that the root is always the lowest note, either on the sixth, fifth or fourth string. In other words, there are no chords with third, fifth, seventh or any other note in the bass.

    Don't hesitate to create your own chord positions. In the meantime, take a look at the following essential chord shapes proposed below, classified into four distinct categories :

    • TRIADS
      • (major, minor, augmented, diminished, sus4 and sus2). 
    • SEVENTH CHORDS (aka tetrads)
      •  (maj7, min7, dom7, m7b5, dim7, minMaj7, maj7#5, 7b5, 7#5).
    • SIXTH CHORDS
      • (maj6, min6).
    • EXTENDED CHORDS
      •   (min9, maj9, 9, 6/9, 7#9, 7b9, m11, maj11, 11, m13, maj13, 13, 7b13)
