Jazz Guitar Chords
Eleven essential jazz chord types — from Maj7 to Diminished 7th — mapped across every string set in close voicings and drop 2 inversions. Interactive fretboard grids and audio in every lesson.
What's Inside
A complete, organized library of jazz chord voicings — not scattered across 50 YouTube videos, but structured in one place with consistent visuals, playable audio, and clear progressions.
Chord Grid Diagrams
Every voicing on a clean, readable fretboard grid. Root position, inversions, different string sets — all visually consistent so your brain builds reliable patterns.
Hear Every Voicing
Click and play any chord directly in the lesson. Hear the Maj7 shimmer, the Dom7 tension, the half-diminished color — without picking up your guitar first.
Systematic Coverage
Each chord type is covered across 3 string sets with drop 2 inversions plus close voicing root positions. No gaps, no missing shapes.
Course Modules
11 chord types that cover the essential jazz vocabulary. Each module gives you the shapes on every string set — close voicings and drop 2 inversions.
Major 7th
The warm, open sound of jazz. Drop 2 voicings on D-G-B-e, A-D-G-B, and E-A-D-G string sets, plus close voicing root positions.
Minor 7th
The dark, smooth minor quality. All inversions on 3 string sets plus close root voicings — the bread and butter of minor jazz harmony.
Dominant 7th
The engine of harmonic movement. Every Dom7 inversion across 3 string sets — the sound that drives V–I resolution everywhere in jazz.
Minor 7th ♭5 (Half-Diminished)
The ii chord in minor keys. Learn every inversion to navigate minor ii–V–i progressions with ease and clarity.
Diminished 7th
The symmetrical passing chord. Its repeating structure means fewer shapes to memorize — but you need to know where they live.
Minor Major 7th
The dramatic, film-noir color. A less common voicing that adds tension and sophistication to your harmonic palette.
Major 7th ♯5
The augmented major 7th — a lush, wide sound. Learn where it appears naturally and how to voice it across all string sets.
Major 7th ♯11
The Lydian color chord. The ♯11 adds a bright, floating quality — an essential sound in modern jazz voicings.
Dominant 7th ♭5
An altered dominant sound. The ♭5 substitution creates tension that resolves beautifully — a key tool for tritone substitutions.
Minor 7th ♯5
A rare and distinctive color. Expands your harmonic vocabulary beyond the standard four 7th chord types.
Major Add9
The bright, open add9 sound. Close voicings with the 9th on top, plus drop 2 inversions on 3 string sets for smooth voice leading.
Why This Course Is Different
Good luck finding a complete, organized jazz chord voicing reference online. You'd need to buy several books, watch hours of scattered videos, and still miss half the string sets. I went through that — and built the course I wish existed.
- No more hunting across the web. 140+ voicings covering 11 chord types, every string set, every inversion — what would normally cost you several books is organized in one place, for free.
- Play before you pick up the guitar. Built-in audio lets you hear each voicing instantly. Know the sound before you shape the chord.
- Visual consistency. Every chord uses the same clean fretboard grid format. Your brain learns to read and recognize shapes faster.
- Beyond the basics. We don't stop at Maj7, Min7, Dom7. You get half-diminished, diminished, minor-major, augmented, Lydian, and altered voicings.
- Mentor-supported practice. Practice journal, goal setting, and direct feedback from a mentor — because chord vocabulary needs structured repetition.
