Going to play in Jazz Band this September(help)?

29 July 2008 - 03:57 PM

What do I need to know?

I know all my positioned barred majors, minors, 7ths, 9ths, maj7ths, min7ths, m7b5,min7,min9... What other standard jazz chords should I learn?(Im going to take some music theory lessons soon to learn how to construct chords, but is their other things I should learn about chords)

I have basic music reading skills...

And any suggestions for scales I should learn to do some solos here and their? We play big band jazz songs, ballads and some Latin type stuff.

Also any suggestions for Jazz albums I should listen to to get a better understanding of it?(More specifically Jazz guitar albums)

Any tips would help. Thanks.

Help from people who know music theory...

Well this summer I’m teaching my self music theory for my high school jazz band and am doing pretty good so far but there’s one thing I do not understand at all...

(I still think better in tab)

For example, I know the chord "Em7" which can be played like this:
(from low to high)

x79787

And in some jazz songs that I'm learning they have a chord written like
this:

Em7/11

I looked it up and in tab form and the chord shape is this:

x77787

I see that you flatted the note on the D string by a whole step but how does "/11" indicate this? I heard sort of somewhere that it has something to do with scales… I know my C and G major scale all the way up the neck and the E pentatonic scales. I’m still learning my scales but can someone explain this to me? Thanks.

Just have to post this...

Jason Webley. I think he is the best guy playing out there rite now, hes the one that should be on MTV.

If anything at the least, see this, this is one of my favorite songs ever:




Heres some of his other really great songs

My favorie is map and the mountain and the moon, eleven saints is probally one of the most catchyist songs ever and dance while the sky crashes down is good to, probally his most popular one.

Awsome site for anyone who wants to learn rags like the entertainer, windy and warm..

I dont know how much time these people had on there hands, but this site has just about every popular rag and more, plus it even has the happy birthday song:) Its pretty accurate, but you will have to download tab edit but it is so worth it. Not only you can learn to play these songs but you can also listen to it, and you can copy other tabs and check if there are right or not ensted of wasteing your time learning the tab and to only find out its not right. A miricle site, and even has more then rags, it even has green sleeves and even a instermentle piece for a abeatle song when im 64... But its a great sit, and has a lot of good songs to learn, even has the maple leafe rag and good stuff like that. Have fun:claping: :smilinguitar:

Question for kirk(rags)

13 November 2006 - 10:16 PM

I was wondering, cause lately Iv'e been playing alot of rag time songs and I know that you already have a rag time version of the entertainer and some other rag time picking lessons, but do you know any whole rag time songs that you can make a lesson out of? Its ok if you don't... But if you do I would really like it if you could make a whole lesson out of it and I know rags tend to be leghthly... But if your not up to it, maybe just a another any old lesson of rag time would be fine with me, thanks.
