How to use this e-Book Latin Jazz chords can be confusing and challenging, this e-Book is designed to help you navigate the world of Latin Jazz chords. These are the chords you will find in jazz standards but also in a lot of Latin tunes. I have laid out the chords according to their chord family and also which string the root is on. Here are the five chord families: 1. Major 2. Minor 3. Dominant 7th 4. Augmented 5. Diminished and these are the different root chords: • Root 6 – root of the note on the 6th string • Root 5 – root of the note on the 5th string • Root 4 – root of the note on the 4th string Go through each chord and try to play it. You will see that there are sometimes a few different ways of playing the chord. This has to do with chord voicings and the position on the guitar you are playing the chord. In the second part of the e-Book I have included 5 chord charts of famous latin jazz standards you can use as practice piecing the chords together. Chord Construction The way chords are constructed is quite mathematical. Each chord you come across will consist of a triad or more of notes. For simple chords like major and minor these notes are just triads or three notes stacked on top of each other. Eg C major fig 1 : C E G which corresponds to notes 1, 3, and 5 in the c major scale.

fig 1 C major





or C minor : C Eb G or 1, flat 3, 5 in C major scale or notes C E flat and G.

fig 2 C minor



To play C major on a guitar you can choose and combination of C , E and G. Here are a few examples just on the top three strings.

You can see that there are many options and that’s just on the top three strings.

But its good to know that all of these shapes form C major in different orders (or inversions) of the notes. Extended Chords Beyond working out triads we can also look at what we call extended chords. These are chords that have extra notes added. Here are some examples of extended notes: C add 9, C minor 7, C7flat 9 To work out these chords it’s a little trickier, but they are all still built on the original triad. For example: • C add 9 is a C manor with an added 9th note in C major = D In other words this chord will include the notes C E G and D.



•

C minor seventh is a C minor triad with an added flattened 7th note in the scale = B flat. ie C E G B flat.



•



C7flat 9 : Notes in a C 7 chord: C E G B flat and a 9th = D flattened = D flat



I have used this method to work out all the chords in this book. You will be able to find different ways to play the same chord progression depending on which area of the fret board you are in and also what voicings or notes you want to hear. With experience you can choose the right chords and voicings quickly but if you are not experienced it may take you time to make decisions about what to play where. An experienced teacher can also help to guide you on how to do this. Chord Patterns Here are some exercises you can try in different keys as a warm up routine and lalso to familiarize yourself with the various chords. Ex 1: ii- V7- I 1. Dmin7 – G7 -Cmaj7 2. Emin7 – A7 -Dmaj7 3. Fmin7 – Bb7 -Ebmaj7 4. Gmin7 – C7 -Fmaj7 5. Amin7 – D7 -Gmaj7 Ex 2: I-ii-iii- IV-V7 1. Amaj7 -Bmi7- C#m7 - D- E7 2. Gmaj7 -Ami7- B#m7 - C- D7 Ex 3: Circle of Fifths 1. Am7- D7 – G – Cmaj7 – Fmaj7 – Bm7b5 – E7 – Am7 Ex 4; ! – IV –V7 – I or try ! – IV –V7flat9 – I Am7 – Dm7- E7 – Am7 Am7 – Dm7- E7b9 – Am7 Em7 – Am7- B7 – Em7 Em7 – Am7- B7b9 – Em7 Charts Following the chord diagrams in the following pages you will find 5 chord charts for you to try. There are many ways to voice these chords especially if you a playing a Bossa Nova. See what you can come up with and let me know how you go. In the coming weeks I will be posting some examples of these charts at www.latinguitarmasterty.com so be sure to come and have a look and see what I have come up with too. You can also YouTube these charts and see what you can find. In future editions I will add more charts and also add dedicated chord diagrams for each chart. In the meantime you can also check out a few examples at http://www.latinguitarmastery.com/?cat=87.

What does the Right Hand Do? The right hand almost always pluck the chords. Sometimes as a block chord and other times there is interplay between the thumb and the fingers. This is common in Bossa Nova right hand playing. Here is an example:

The thumb plays on beats 1 and 3 and the fingers i, m , a play on beats 1, 2, 3and, 4and. Use this pattern as a right hand staring point and as you gain confidence you can start to improvise the rhythms. If the harmony changes half way through the bar then change the chord but keep the right hand the same. For example: 4 4 Bm7b5 / E7 / translates to

I hope you get some value out of this brief introduction to Latin Jazz chords. Here are some final recommendations: • Use a metronome – slow playing is always more fruitful • Video yourself playing and watch it a few days later, see what you notice. • Get together with another guitarist and jamming over a few progressions/charts. • Have fun and experiment with different versions of the chords • Listen to some Latin guitarists. Happy playing! Sergio
