Having read our piece on Jazz chord progressions you’ll need some chords to go with this. Whilst it’s true that any chord can be used in Jazz, as we’ve discussed - most jazz chords go beyond the usual triad chords found in rock and blues and are usually extended to make the sound more interesting for example by adding a seventh.

In our examples we’ll look at a series of bar chords which can be played in any position along the neck - just move your fretting hand to the appropriate position to get to the root of the chord.

Try these chords with a metronome and remember to try and get that swing sound in your rhythm when you play.

This article series will be in 3 parts - in this first part we’ll look at traditional Jazz Major chords.
